An Odd Combination

Not sure I am gonna wanna part with this unordinary piece....It was made using an old tobacco press I 

found in a barn on my parent's land....My handy handy man rigged it up and coverted it into a coffee 

table....I likee her a lot!

Btw, I didn't forget about the pictures I mentioned in the previous post, I just wasn't satisfied with them so I must take more...I will get some on soon....pinky promise!

Sweet Girl

Well, i got to meet the one and only Grace Bonney yesterday at the WSMV Channel 4 News Station.

My good friend Jennifer Johnson contacted me last week and told me this lovely gal would be coming to

town for an interview to promote her first book titled Design Sponge.

Being her thoughtful self, 

she invited me to come down to the station and meet this famous blogger.......awwwww, thanks Jen!  

 I guess when I meet someone like Grace, I automatically assume they will have the personality of Martha

Stewart...kinda cold and holier than thou type mentality.   Nope, not this petite girl....sweet, sweet, sweet.

  Very well spoken, down to earth type girl.....the kind of person you just wanna squeeze their little 

cheeks.  

Anywho, I loved her and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to meet her....she creates different 

projects using things that are easy to get your hands on and ones that are for both the experienced crafter 

and the first times, as is Jennifer....sorry Jen, had to get that bit in!  

Now if I could only get her to feature The Strawberry Patch on her Brooklyn Based Blog.....wouldn't that

 be something! 

You never know, that's what networking is all about......I am keeping the faith!  Be sure and check back

 tomorrow I will be showcasing snippets of Jenny Helms house which is where the First Annual 

Strawberry Patch Christmas sale will be held.   Peace and Love Girls (and boys)!

Another piece completed....

I kinda like her...

she's grey....

she's shabby.....

she's functional....

and 

she will be beautiful when her missing part is restored....!

On a different note, the Strawberry Patch Christmas Soiree is almost here....

I hope you have your calendars marked....it is an event you are sure to enjoy!

Almost that time!

So  the winner of the complimentary session fee with Photographer Holly Andrews Witcher 

is.............Traci Collins! Congrats Miss Traci....can't wait to see what Holly does for you!

Speaking of pictures, I need to have some made for our Christmas Cards....who knows, I may not even  

send out cards this year....may just skip a year.  Where do you get your Christmas cards?

I know you have already seen a ton of pictures from the Fall Strawberry Patch Barn Sale, but they were all done by an amateur photographer named Christy Jo....Ha.  I want you to see these from a local photographer, Holly Witchers Andrews.....She is a young mother with loads of talent who happens to live in my area.  Somehow I found her (prolly on FB) and was immedietly impressed with her artistic eye.   There are a lot of photographers around, however, for me, it isn't just about the subject you are shooting.   It is about capturing the surroundings with just the right angle whether created or manipulated.  That's what I like in a photographers work..with her, I found that.  Leave me a comment here, on my FB page, or on Holly's FB page, and you will be entered to win a  free session (sitting fee only) with Miss Holly.  See for yourself and tell me what you think!  BTW,  I am slowly regaining my feisty-ness, so be ready!
