It has been a BUSY month! First I am going to show pictures from thursday nights class. These girls did a super job getting their Mother's Day books finished in record time. They all turned out wonderful and I know those special one's who receive them will be delighted! So thanks girls for a fun evening.
Now for the Glitter Market pictures:
We all had a great time. Everyone was in a springy buying mood and the weather was GREAT!
Lemonade, Coffee, Baked Goodies, Candy bar and much more. ( I took this picture before Cindy had all the food and drinks on it) But it was so cute and really festive! We decided to have the refreshments in the classroom/store because the area next store was not big enough for the vendors and food.
Early birds..............at least they aren't waving money through the window!
Welcome banner and bike when everyone walked in. ( I forgot the flowers to go in the basket)
Jemellia with all her handmade aprons, bags and much much more. She is a wonderful seamstress. You can find Jemellia on tuesdays working at the Quiltwork shop just a few doors down from the Paper Crown.
Medeah is one of our new teachers at the Paper Crown. She had some collage canvas to sell with some of her other mixed media art. Welcome to the Paper Crown team.
The dynamic duo! These two always have some wonderful creations and we are always in awe!
This is a better photo of all their wonderful creations!
We are so happy to have the talented Donna Layton join us again this spring. We have missed her and enjoy having her back. If you think this is just wall paper, it is a painting of wall paper.............she is so talented. She brought some of her paintings and some of her bundles of vintage wall paper and ephemera packets. So we all bought some of her treasures.
Martha Green..............she keeps those fingers of hers sewing on beads and sequins 24/7. Her work is unbelievable. So detailed and time consuming. She is wearing one of her wonderful creations around her neck.
Curly-Q-Mosaics............Amy Baldwin is an amazing mosaic artist. She has her work in several stores in the Oklahoma Metro area. Thanks Amy for joining the Paper Crown Glitter Market this spring.
And then we have these two.................they are some of the best Baker's in the area. I am always telling people if you don't grab a bag of those homemade caramels when you first arrive you will be sorry! The best you will ever have.............. They have been baking and selling their goodies for several years together and keep busy all year long with special orders. Thanks Jill and Susan.
Here we all are after we had already started to pack up. But at least we got a picture of all the Paper Crown Glitter Market team. Our Glitter Market Queen did not get in any pictures except for this one and she will probably kill me but I am going to do it anyway, I apologize ahead of time........
Thank You Cindy for all your hard work to make it possible for all of us crazy gals to show and sell our wares once again. We all had a wonderful time and hope to see all of you again in the fall for our annual Fall Glitter Market!
these are a few pics of my tables
I just want to say thanks to all of you who came out and supported us. We all had a great time! I know I have said that so many times but I really mean it. And a big thanks to my friend Franc for helping me with all my unorganized ways of doing things. I could not of done it without your help.
I am ready for a little slower month of May!
I think it's going to be time for a Mother's Day giveaway this week. Check back later!

Jackie,
Unreal. Pure and simple. I need to go back and enlarge your pictures. I adore those "Colette Pillows." What a great idea and how like Colette to share her brilliance (with your brilliance!).
I am so glad it went well. I would love to come someday...and take in a class, too!
Hugs,
Suz

Oh, I'm just now getting around as I went out last night until 1:30! What was I thinking?? I have a great time yesterday with everyone, there was so much great stuff! I like the picture of Cindy (my red shoe mate).

Oh my! As disappointed as I am in myself for not beginning my Glitter Market preparations earlier, I am somewhat relieved as I would NEVER be able to compete with your wonderful booth. It's AMAZING. Seriously. I can totally see how you make Glitter Market what it is. I love your wall art pieces, did they all sell?
