Thursday, Kim and I met up with Lesley and Keli at Columbus flea market. Many deals were to be had. I got this sweet, but heavy, cement deer that now has a special place in front of the camper.

Friday morning we hit another flea market and then sat around and waited for Jane to arrive. (Pam arrived late the night before). It was fun to laze around with my friends as we all sat around doing some sort of creative endeavor.
--------------------------
after Jane arrived, it was time to hand out the goodie bags. I spent the last month ish, making special things to give to my friends to say thank you for coming. I had a lot of fun creating things for them.
keli is excited to open hers.

some of the fun things found inside:

my gifts:
kitty from Jane
-----------------------
encaustic piece and vintage handbag from Keli
-----------------------------------
wall hanging from Kim
-----------------------
hand dyed and felted scarf from Leslie (recently created in a workshop she hosted with India Flint). Hand made brooch from JoAnnA Periotti.
-------------------------------
Friend plaque from Pam
-----------------------------------
later in the afternoon, a henna artist arrived to tattoo us. boy was that fun!
Saturday morning we hit another flea market at Allaire State Park. Although a small one, we all got some really great things!

waiting for the limo, getting ready to head into the city to see "Sleep No More", Lesley took this pic of Jane and I to use as a publicity pic for an upcoming adventure to Farm Chicks. (more info on that soon).
