Glitter Market Sneak Peek- Terri Brush

I thought I would start off the 2015 Glitter Market Sneak Peek with a HUGE bang! We are so very, very pleased to have the talented Terri Brush as a vendor this year. I have been lucky enough to take a couple of classes with Terri so I am familiar with her jewelry and have several very special pieces.
Her work is gorgeous. If you love the photos you will flip when you see it in person!

Aren't these perfect for the holidays!

Terri lives in Washington where she teaches at her beautiful studio, offers on demand classes through Terri Brush Academy, hosts her wildly successful Art Camps twice a year and is co creator of the La Dolce Vita Art Retreat in the beautiful hills of Tuscany, Italy.

I addition to vending at Glitter Market next Saturday, Nov. 21st, Terri will be teaching a series of classes surrounding Glitter Market. I believe the only openings available are for Terri's Bezel Necklace Workshop on Thurs., Nov. 19th from 9:30-4:30. Register for workshop at http://terribrushdesigns.com/index.php?p=home

Hannah's House

Meet the most amazing Hannah Butler ( just typing this girl's name makes me smile!) Hannah and Katie met their freshman year at Baylor and then lived together for the next three years with Molly, Kitty & Rachel. All the girls are from Houston and Kitty and Hannah have been friends since preschool. I think Hannah wrote as a early elementary school cutie that when she got to college, she wanted to live with Kitty.

Hannah is described as the goofiest, quirkiest, most loving person..... I can't think of a more fitting description. One of my favorite memories of Hannah is pulling up to their house about noon on Saturday and out she walks in her red, fuzzy, footed, sock monkey pjs and jumps on her scooter to cruise campus. Over the years I had many silly, serious, hilarious, wise and a couple heartbreaking conversations and texts with this sweet girl. My last time with Hannah was over pancakes with the
" girls (and Austin)". I left her with a big hug, I'm proud of you and a plan to have a lasagna making day after the holidays. A year ago today Hannah passed away.

Katie, her precious roomies, Kappa sisters, family and friends have done many projects this past year to honor Hannah and keep her sweet spirit alive- a cabin or two of kiddos were able to attend Camp Ozark; through Living Waters, water wells have been drilled in Nicaragua and Guatemala; and
family and friends are currently working on the biggest project to remember Hannah and one that will have the most lasting impact, Hannah's House.

Through Family Legacy, Hannah's House will be a home in Zambia that will provide Hope, shelter, refuge and family- Hannah's favorite topic and her great love, for 8 orphaned children, http://familylegacy.com/hannahs-life-vision-home/ . Katie hopes to go to Zambia this summer to help teach for a week and then be there for the opening of Hannah's House. She can share some funny Hannah stories and some sock monkeys with the 8 girls that will become part of Hannah's legacy.

Rachel, Katie, Hannah, Kitty & Molly

I have decided to donate 20% of the Paper Crown's earning on Saturday, Nov. 21st , Glitter Market day, to Hannah's House. Additionally, in January Hannah would have turned 24 so we will be donating 24% of the month's earnings to Hannah's House. In January the store will be full of hearts and I can't think of a better tribute- the hearts you buy will go to fill a heart of a orphan girl in Zambia while reminding so very, very many of Hannah's sweet, quirky, loving heart.

So after you hit the fabulous Glitter Market next Saturday, Nov. 21st, come shop Paper Crown and then go crazy in January!

Hannah's House verse is Isaiah 40:31 "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

G O R G E O U S

On of my favorite gifts from Italy is always the beautiful marbled papers that are in tiny shops all over Florence and Venice. Each time I go to Italy it is always a staple that I bring home- and then horde because it isn't easy to find in the states.

When Chris told me she knew how to marble paper I admit I was a bit skeptical. Would it be as gorgeous as the rolls I had seen in Italy and if it was, would it be so difficult that our efforts would be a disappointment.

I am thrilled to say it is every bit as stunning as the papers made in Italy and since Chris has done all the mixing and prepping, it is actually so easy and very, very fun. Each time we pulled out the paper it was like a magical surprise. I felt like little kiddos at Christmas!

The Marbling classes are limited to 6 and we have a second class scheduled for Thurs., Dec. 10th at 5:30. At this moment there is ONE spot left, so let's see who has the quickest fingers. I will also be taking names for a class in January of 2016. There are also rumblings of a fabric marbling class in the new year.

Thanks Chris for a fun evening. We love it and are so glad you spoke up.

Let the race begin!
