Victorian Lady gift bag coming soon

I was thinking I wanted to do yet another gift bag....and then I started thinking of what goodies to put in it....and then I start digging in the inventory (after I am gone my kids will say "WHAT was that crazy old lady  Mom thinking???).... which is no small feat..............and I remembered I had some post cards that I printed back in the 90's of Victorian ladies.........and then I dug out ivory colored buttons...and vintage cluny lace rolls.......and the fun began! I went to the store to purchase a few more rubber stamps.....am I the only one who goes in to buy a few and leaves with $300 worth?? I can never get just one...or two.....these sales people who know me smile when I enter............so I stamped a bag with a Victorian lady on it, flowers of course, a gorgeous dress form that was oh so old fashioned looking......and I finished the first bag. I used black ink but will also do some in sepia tones. I need to get another bolt of muslin...another trip to the store.....so these are some of the items I will put in the next gift bag full of goodies. I will try to hurry and decide what else to put in it and start the give away tomorrow.
****** Be sure to come back to leave a comment on that post tomorrow to enter.



And then I started thinking about Christmas!!!!!!!!! So I started digging again..........and that story will be continued tomorrow!!!!!!
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend.
Nancy

  9. I had to laugh when I read your post about entering a store to buy a few things and come out $300.00 later. No, you are not the only one as it happens to me when I go to my cross stitch store or craft shop. I like to think of it as stimulating the economy! Looking forward to your next "result of stimulating the economy" bag of goodies.

  14. I am a follower and had to chuckle when I read this... of course you aren't the only one that goes in for one thing and has to take out a loan to get out of the store..

    Thanks for a chance.
