French Inspired Flea Market

~ My Mannequin in Her Tu-tu ~

Saturday was a beautiful, warm and non-rainy day

which was such a blessing for the outdoor flea market

vendors and the people who visited!
-

Here is my little booth of hand-made or embellished wares.

Soon I'll show some actual pieces that include:
-

' Cowgirl Art' ~ 'Vintage Glamour'

and images of 'Jewels and Treasures'

'Embellished Shoes' and 'Paris Inspired' ~ my new line of

"GirlFriend Gifts" designed to encourage and bless

-

"Glitter, Vintage Glamour, and Grace"

-

Don't you just love this ballet tu-tu that is accented with
leopard print ruffles?!? (another treasure from T.J's)
~ a perfect place to hang ballet tags ~
-
We strike a pose together.
She would not smile, but just stood there in all her glory.
(perhaps I need a matching skirt?)
--
I was so busy all day long that I didn't get photos of the
other booths... but it was a fabulous event!
I bought another peacock feather hat
that matches my blue one.
The new one is a deep pink. Now, that is a peacock
I would like to see!!!
-
Several friends stopped by to visit and shop,
and my dear husband helped me set up and
delivered food to me. And coffee.
He seemed a bit embarrassed though
about being seen in my booth.

that are covering every surface,

I'll try to get some photos to share here soon

There have been moments I've wondered if

I can do this show, as my husband and I are grieving over

the recent passing of his father, who was a daily part of our lives

these past 3 years. He lived a long and healthy life

until recently, and this past week has been especially hard.

87 years old and had never been in the hospital until last month.

We know that he is now in heaven

and reunited with his precious wife who went before.

~ Blessed Assurance ~

the scriptures say

"For God so loved the world

that He gave His one and only Son

That whosoever believes in Him

will not perish but have everlasting life."

John 3:16

-

"If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord"

and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,

you will be saved."

Romans 10:9

-

How great is the redemptive love of God

-

This is the GRACE that surrounds my heart

-

~ And the grace that inspires me to create ~

I think that maybe glitter was inspired by heavens sparkle

__________

-

And so, I am glittering with grace

(with some tear drops at times)

and looking forward to a fun day on Saturday

(and really hoping it doesn't rain!)

If you are in the area, I hope you will stop by!
