Happy Halloween!

These are my kids many years ago. Time passes quickly, enjoy the day with your families!

Thank you to our judge

Thank you, Karen, for choosing our winning spoon phrase! Here is a small token of my appreciation for all of your support and encouragement (and playing with Buddy).

We also had a shop winner...

Congratulations, Sheila! I love your Tattered Goods

The winner of my October Contest is...

'Serenity' submitted by Sandra from Under The Sun with Me

Thank you to everyone who submitted phrases!

I appologize for the delay in posting. My computer crashed and it has taken my sweet husband almost a week to get me back to blog land!

October Contest

I've been stamping phrases on spoons and I need a little inspiration. I've done "Blessings", "You had me at hello...", "Live your life with Grace" ...now I need a few more. Send me a phrase or quote that inspires you, not too long as I'm hand stamping each letter! French sayings would be great too! I'll have my neighbor pick the one she likes the most and if your phrase is chosen, I'll send you a hand pounded and hand stamped spoon necklace!

Just post your idea in the comments section. The contest ends October 15 and I will post the winning phrase stamped on a vintage spoon! As an added bonus, if you refer to my contest on your blog, I'll enter your name into a drawing for a spoon stamped with your store's name on it. How cute would it be to wear a necklace with "The Attic Girls" or "The Cornerstore" stamped on it? The drawing for a "store" spoon will be October 16. Thank you and good luck!

Happy Birthday!

Cordelia from Cottage Antiques asked me to make a special necklace for her friend Deb's birthday today. Cordelia helped to provide charms to make this truly a piece to be treasured.

La Mesa Craft Show

Scaredy cats!

eek! A spider!

Saturday, September 12 come to the Fall Home Decor, Gift & Craft Show at the La Mesa Community Center in La Mesa, California. My friends Coli and Julie have the most awesome Halloween folk art. Julie's wooden signs feature vintage cats, and pumpkins . I bought several of her hand embroidered kitchen towels all adorned with vintage witches, pumpkins and crows. Coli made the wonderful velvet witch hat and stuffed hand with a spider on top of glass candlesticks. I will definitely use them in my display at Glitterfest!

Coli & Julie have their own show, An Alpine Christmas, November 5-8. More details to come!
