Shop Small- Stay Local
Today, Saturday November 30th is Small Business Saturday. It is a great time to prompt those businesses that are local. When you shop these stores, restaurants and even banks, your money stays in your community where you live and your children go to school. I encourage you to stay local today, we have so many wonderful choices in the OKC area and it is a perfect time to support your community. Shop small- Stay Local!

Thanksgiving Table
Just a few goodies we have at the store that will give your Thanksgiving table a new look...
Another staple in my decorating is cake stands. I have a ton and use them often. The perfect solution if you need height and they also work great for cake : ) |
Fall place cards by one of our favorite companies , or if you are feeling creative... |
Wheat stamp by Tim Holtz would make a beautiful place card. |
Fun craft for the kid's table- autumnal paper chain. An easy craft to give the kiddos something to do while you are busy I the kitchen |
Love these willow candle baskets, inexpensive and perfect for just a tea light at the dining table. The little bird baths have also made it to my table; they come in cream, patina green and gray. |

Despite the Cold, Glitter Market Was a Hit
With all the sleet icy and cold north wind that blew in to OKC on Friday I was a little unsure about Glitter Market this year but check out these dedicated patrons who were braving the chill at least an hour and a half before we opened the doors. A special thank you to you crazy girls, you are what makes Glitter Market such a success - I hope rest of your day was warm and toasty.
We had a great group of vendors this year and as always, a fantastic and loyal group of Glitter Market customers who are so very supportive of our artists. Vendors this year were..
Medeah and Peggy |

Robin, wish I had recorded your Soul Train dance |
Charlotte, love this pic. |

Glitter Market Previe- Bobbie Sanders
Yes, we are still on for tomorrow! This crazy weather is not going to put a damper on Glitter Market. It is all decorated and Jackie and Susan were setting up when I just left. Please bundle up in the morning and we will have coffee, hot chocolate and cider waiting to warm all you die hard shoppers.
Do you recognize who today's vendor is? It is veteran Glitter Market vendor and Paper Crown instructor Bobbie Sanders. I met Bobbie a few years ago through a mutual friend, Linda Land (we will miss you tomorrow!) Linda said I have a friend who is a great instructor and you need to meet her and boy was she right!

Glitter Market Preview- Heather Sleightholm
Today I get to introduce you to a new artist at Glitter Market. I was introduced to Heather by a mutual friend and fellow Glitter Market artist, Robin Thomas. Heather is a folk artist living outside of Tulsa. The nasty weather predicted for Friday and Saturday is NOT a very welcoming show but hopefully once Heather arrives, she will forget that cold, blustery drive.
Heather will be bringing original prints, postcards and hopefully her adorable holiday dolls. Make sure and visit Heather's table and welcome her to Paper Crown's Glitter Market. You can view more of Heather's work at http://www.audreyeclectic.com/

Glitter Market Preview- Nicole Kohmescher
Don't these hand made leather journals just look heavenly. That soft worn leather and all those blank pages just begging for your creations or thoughts. You are in luck because one of our veteran Glitter Market vendors, Nicole Kohmescher will have these journals for you to purchase this Saturday.
Nicole has been concentrating lately on journals and these are exquisite!
Just one more thing I know you will love at Paper Crown's Glitter Market!

Glitter Market Preview- Charlotte Perez
One of our most favorite gals and another Glitter Market veteran is Charlotte Perez. Charlotte lives in Dallas but is gracious enough to make the drive for Glitter Market. She is a bundle of energy, laughs, spunk and talent.
I have had so many Glitter Market shoppers ask if Charlotte will be here this year and I can happily say " heck, yes!" Her jewelry is beautiful and I never, ever wear one of her necklaces with out getting at least 3 compliments. If you have never met Charlotte or seen her art you are in for a huge treat!
I want all 3!!!! |

Most Wonderful Time of Year- GLITTER MARKET!!!
Just a few short days ladies and it will be our most wonderful time of year- Glitter Market. Set your alarms because you won't want to be late. Glitter Market is this Saturday, November 23rd from 10-4.
We found out last week our home for Glitter Market will be the former CC's Children's Store, just down the sidewalk in between No Regrets and Consortium. You won't be able to miss it because it's so very---bright. It was a children's store so lots of turquoise, pink and violet not exactly our typical Paper Crown Glitter market palette but a challenge for me to decorate.
I will be featuring our Glitter Market vendors all week so stay on top of the blog this week.
Our first vendor is GM veteran and Paper Crown mixed media instructor- Medeah Kitsmiller. I know Medeah so hopefully she won't mind me saying she is typically a last minute kinda girl. I'm fairly certain she has stayed up creating the night before GM in the past. Not this year, Medeah has been busy which is great, we won't have as many disappointed customers. Here is just a sample of what Medeah will be offering.

Our Love of Santos
Since I got my very first Santos from Curious Sofa years ago, I have loved them. We sell a few of my favorites at Paper Crown and I am always on the lookout for new ones. Last night Jackie took one of my loves and turned it into a beautiful holiday class. Like a few of you, I waited too long to sign up and it was full!
It is always best to Create with a friend!

It was so nice to see the back room full of activity and full of friends. I have a great job and am lucky enough to be surrounded by creative people every single day! I didn't get a picture of the crafting warriors, Lisa, Debbie, Kim and Gail, they were busy doing a different class Thurs.- Sat and knowing Lisa, she will be at it Sunday as well. Gail came all the way from CA to have a girl's art weekend.
If you missed out last night you still can make Holly's Ship of Dreams class this Sunday, Nov. 17th from 1:30-4:30. Cost is $40 and it is beautiful! I learned my lesson, I will be there!
A special thank you to one of my favorite peeps, Miss Shelly Overholt. She is a guest artist on Art Saves, a subset of Jenny Doh's blog. Shelly has been sweet enough to share some of her favorite Okie artists and shops, including Paper Crown. Thanks for the kind words Shelly, we are so glad you are one of our peeps!

For a couple of weeks the store has been a little disheveled- to say the least. It's was time to move left to right, front to back ,up to down and any other combination I could think of. Also there were all those tables in the back with holiday treats. After a big mess it is almost back in place, so if you haven't been to the store in a week or two, stop by it's a whole new store.
We have had these Lovely B bracelets and earrings for over a year but I heard a certain whimsical store in Classen Curve just got a shipment- I bet our price is better. Paper Crown is such a trend setter : )
Love this babies first Christmas ornament. It is by the talented Debbie & Shea of The Gilded Life |
