At present my Mr. AGPMan and I attend a large non-denomination church here in Oklahoma City. They have pledged 1.2 million dollars to help the displaced... Such a huge donation from our congregation, but still just a mere drop in the bucket when you think of the 2 billion dollars estimated damage the tornadoes wrought. Your giving is so needed. If you plan on giving to the Red Cross don't forget to earmark your contribution "FOR OKLAHOMA". Otherwise your gift(s) will go into their overall fund.
Thank you so much for your prayers...notes...support and most of all, LOVE!
I took a break from news watching to work on some things for my booth this morning. I just finished some new romantic pillows for my website and some sweet sachets, too. Also worked on some tattered rose pins fashioned with vintage laces and trims.
Tattered Roses are all the rage right now and move really well in my new booth at Serendipity Market (Edmond, OK). Perfect on headbands, clips, used on pillows, etc. Fun to make, too!
After sprucing things up yesterday in my booth I stopped by one of my favorite second-hand stores and found three panels of sheer-mist silk (with fabulous stripes) for $6.98 for the lot.
They came from Charter Club and still had the original $40.00 price tags attached. That was for EACH ONE... That's $120.00 worth of silk for $6.98! Eeeeek!
Can you say SCORE???? I used some of it on one of the pins at the top... It's the one with the vintage rhinestone button in the center. If you look closely you can see the silk peeking out in-between the lace-layers!
Many blessings to you all today. Hope you're planning something memorial for the holiday weekend.
Love to you...thank you again for your thoughts and prayers for Oklahoma.
