BIRD SONG 2013

Joy * Fun * Laughter * Friendships * Creative art *

filled my heart last weekend at Bird Song - a weekend art retreat at Karla's Cottage 

This was my third year to attend and it was wonderful as always!

 Lucky me!  I won Beth's apron!

I have lots of photos to share... for now, here is a sprinkling of Peeps creating, art swaps and glimpses into Karla's studio and garden.  Inspirational!

Karla's yummy treat niche!

Can you tell we had a wonderful time? 

I'll be posting more photos soon, so stop back by to peek at our
art projects and art swaps.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

The blog 'photo full' flag I received must have been
a fluke as I can now post photos - hopefully it will not return.  

Early October, Laurie & Suzanne came to visit me.
Here they are arriving at the airport.  

As soon as we left the airport we were determined to
squeeze as much as we could into their four day visit.

 Immediately after their arrival, we were off &
shopping at  The Rusty Chandelier

 

 Our Haunting Welcome

Amazing handmade crowns!

The next morning we spent a couple of hours in my studio
creating Gothic Ghost banners.

 I did not finish my banner as I seem to talk too much.



Our next adventure was to shop the Mission Road Antique Mall and eat lunch at the Bloomsbury Bistro located in the mall.

 This is my favorite place for lunch!
Their toasted carrot cake is the best ever!

 Shopping at Beth's booth.  
Beth always has the coolest treasures at great prices!

We fulfilled Suzanne's dream to shop the brick and mortar store
of Victoria Trading Co.

Later that evening Suzanne surprise us
with darling Ballerina socks and tiaras

 It's been a long time since I've done a plie.

Two days down, two days left to share of our amazing visit.
 I will soon post about our adventures at the
Kansas City First Weekend West Bottoms vintage stores
(be sure and watch the West Bottoms video on this link!)
and Karla's Romantic Gothic Ghost event. 
 till then...
