Christmas is Coming...

On Saturday I went to Island Chicks in Anacortes with Shelly and Karen.  It was a beautiful show and we had buckets of fun.  We shopped, lunched, snacked and shopped some more.  And most importantly, we left inspired by the show.  I was also inspired by my friends to purchased a tutu.  We stopped at the Pearl Button, crammed into one dressing room, and decided we were tired of our boring wardrobes.  
Things got a little crazy...
 The necklace worn by the dress form was tiny rolls of sheet music, threaded and then the ends were dipped in German glass glitter.  I want to make 3 yards for a garland but I do know that time is running out.  Honestly, I don't even know where I would put it but it was pretty.
 We made one last stop at Marshalls, where I was tempted to purchase the over sized champagne bucket.  I love the shape of champagne buckets and this one was a beauty.  But sometimes a girl has to walk away.  Shelly was a tad excited for me.
 The *Home for the Holidays Tour is quickly approaching.  We are living in a very messy house with piles of Christmas covering every surface.  Work in progress, for sure.  I am trying to take good care of Hubby and I because a cold or flu would be fairly catastrophic at this point.  
Thursday evening is the museum gift shop open house and sale.  It will be a fun evening with a great sale.  Really, our best ever, so invite your friends and come to see me.  I might wear my tutu...

*Tour is December 7, 1-5 p.m.  Tickets ($20) are available at Colony House and Grandiflora in Lynden.  
I'll post more details later.

Looks like fun times were had by all!! I'm so excited for the home tour and to see all your loveliness!
I have one tree up-not decorated, and I have all the fall piled in one place so I can get busy. Except I think I need to clean my carpets. And I don't want to. So I got on the computer instead of doing anything productive. This is my life.
