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!

Wishing You a Happy Thanksgiving!

 

I  hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving full of family and good food.

 

 I count all of you I have meet through

Paper Crown as one of my blessings!

 

Happy, Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Table

Just a few goodies we have at the store that will give your Thanksgiving table a new look...

Love these lanterns. I have a couple of styles at the store and have used them to decorate all over my house- dining table, foyer dresser, lining the stairs & coffee table. These are my current favorite decorating item-the possibilities are endless.
  

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.
 

The double willow milk bottle holders are perfect for flowers. A pretty bunch from Whole Foods would fill several holders and not break the bank. I love the harvest,  rustic look for a Thanksgiving table.

These cute fall sacks could hold a tag stating what each guest is thankful for.


Just a few last minute Thanksgiving ideas.

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

Nicole

Robin, wish I had recorded your Soul Train dance



Charlotte, love this pic. 

Darling Duo Susan & Janet

Yes, I had to take these vendor pics from Jackie's blog because I'm always running around like a crazy person the morning of Glitter Market and I didn't get a pic of Jackie and Kay from Saturday- sorry girls; (

Newbie Heather

 

And last but not least, Bobbie

 

Ladies thank you again for all the time, energy and help you put into Glitter Market. Your work is amazing and I'm so glad we have an opportunity to share with those outside of the store. Thank you also for all your help in planning, promoting, setting up and tearing down. There is no way it would be possible without your help. Thank you also to your families who have had to sacrifice and help for Glitter Market. It truly is a family affair. A special thank you also to Heather Ales. Heather has been busy creating for weeks and packed up the car very, very early Saturday am in Dallas only to have to turn around after she crossed the border due to poor road conditions. Thank you for trying Heather and we will see you next time.

 

 

 

 

Thank you to Cheri who was gracious enough to come help us out. I have to agree with Debbie, marriage and motherhood are definitely agreeing with you- you have NEVER looked prettier or happier. Cheri came back later in the afternoon with baby Grant but no pictures because I was too busy hogging him!

 

Thank you also to Linley for helping me run errands the morning of Market. You were a huge hit and as always it is so very good to see you!

 

 

I would say that despite old man Winter we had a wonderful Glitter Market and thank you again patrons, vendors and families for ALL your help and support. I am thankful for each and every one of you!  

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!

 

 

Bobbie has been busy this week and all you shopper will be the beneficiary!

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!
