Spring Has Sprung







Here's the new flyer for the May open house.It's at the bottom of this post. Not sure how to move photo's around yet or if it is possible... Hopefully we will have great weather so come on out and enjoy the beautiful Mineral Point Spring. The gardens are blooming and I am planning on being in them every free (and dry) moment this weekend.

I also included some pictures I took in NYC last weekend. Just some great inspirational displays from ABC carpet and Fishes Eddy. I love those stores! The wall of flowers is amazing....

I am pretty proud of myself with this flyer. I did much of it myself! Of course my compatriot Jane helped, but I am teaching myself In Design, so for a computer illiterate like myself it is a HUGE accomplishment. Let me know what you think.

Hope to see you on Saturday the 17th.

Hi Kath,

Your flyer is lovely! Knowing that you are not a pro-adobe photoshop user, that is indeed such a milestone! You have an eye for putting things together, like colours, graphics, fonts. It matches beautifully! Great job!

I love all those pins on the dress form. I prob have 20 vintage pins that I wear all the time. Not at the same time of course but often 2 or more.

Great pictures. I especially like the different pins and broaches. I could get lost there for ages.

Kath,
It doesn't matter that the displays don't belong to you. What matter's is that you knew exactly what to pick to pique our interest.
Way to Go...
