It's Sis Boom Time everybody!!!!!

Yup, today starts the fun and festivities with our beloved Jennifer at her annual Holiday Sale. She transforms her entire home into a glittery, ruffly, wonderful wonderland and friends stop by to take in the beauty of it all...and of course, eat cookies...and leave with bags and bags of Jennifer's love.

You'll find her signature ruffly paper products, ornaments and banners, lots of pillows in her fablous fabrics and sooooooo much more. Of course, there will be bolts and bolts of her signature fabrics just begging you to take them home and cobble up something special. You will go into immediate sensory overload...give yourself lots of time...there is soooooo much to look at. And you get to see Jennifer and GEORGE, the world's most perfect dog!

Her show runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday (12/6 thru 12/8) from 9am to 6pm. Click here for more info. If you are anywhere near the area, drop everything, run, hop or crawl to this amazing event. The GlitterFairy will be stopping by, too, if I can get out from under this mountain of glitter... I never miss this show!!!

Hope to see ya there...

Ta-dahhhhh!!! Zee Treez are finished...

Here's how one tree looked yesterday morning...almost there...

and theeze eez how one of them looked today, just prior to delivery...(I know, I know, I need a better camera and camera skills...but you get the idea) I had to shoot this from above in order to not get any really bad background stuff...like my ratty old couch...didn't have time to set up my photo backdrop.Happily, my client was thrilled with them and they will flank a beautiful display case in the main window of a lovely jewelry shop. It's kind of hard to see in my poorly taken pix, but each tree has a glass glittered butterfly, a bird in nest, lots of glittered bumblebees, a bumblebee in its bed, a hummer in its bed, a glass glittered praying mantis, love fruits, a sparkle star and a treat cone. Truly a labor of love...I sort of hated to let them go, but they will have a fabulous life in a wonderful store with lots of people admiring them...(we ALL should be that lucky!!!)...lucky dogs!

Holiday stuff....

Yes, I do have a few pieces left...sugared pears, plums, and a few more items that defy description.  Don't even ask my why I sell pink flamingos at Christmas time!  I just do...I know, I know, the clock is ticking down to Christmas. Thanks for your emails and interest in my glittergoods.

Back to the glitter pits...

p.s. My apologies for the crummy pictures...

I must rest my weary little fingers....

Gotta take five and give my hands a break. I've been working on and off all day on two large sparkley wire trees for a window display at a client's jewelry store. The snow has been falling, our first of the season, and the hubs & kids have kept a roaring fire going in our fireplace, which I visited as often as possible. There really is nothing like the first snowfall and the warmth of the hearth...These babies are a full foot taller than any I've done before and they are a bit more work to manage...but they are turning out beautifully. (I'm just tired from my week of selling, singing... yes, I had another concert last nite...and partied afterward til 2am... and filling orders. ) I'm lucky to have such a full life but have to admit I'm looking forward to the day after Christmas and spending some time with my family!

These pictures above show how they look about halfway done. I know the pictures are not great (hey, it's 11pm and there's no natural light whatsoever...) but you can get the idea. I painted the urns creamy white, glittered them in vintage silver glass, shaped the wire, set them in plaster and now I'm forming the branches. Since they will live on either side of a display case in a window, I'm trying to make them fairly symetrical...now that's a challenge. This wire has a mind of its own! My hands feel like they've run the NY marathon...but it will be worth it to see those beauties shine like diamonds in the window. Hey, there WILL probably be diamonds in there with them!!!

Back to the grindstone...er...the pliers...

p.s. The boutique show in Bedford last week was great fun. I sold lots of glittergoods and met lots of very nice people. If only I had a bunch of elves like Santa to help me to fill the orders...sigh...
