What a day we had yesterday! The Wedding Chair Class at the CASTLE was quite a hit! Six lovely women, friends all, joined me in creating one of a kind French Style Wedding Chairs. TRULY GLORIOUS little chairs were fashioned of a gold mine of Dresden, that the CASTLE is known for, hand dyed velvets from my own stash, various gold colored wires, and the ever present Hot Glue Gun! It was such a treat for me to see the chairs take on the personality of the makers! I think we need to change this classes name to 'Golden Fairy Chairs' - Don't you? Enjoy!!!
Last but not least, Amy Dean of San Francisco's Crown and Crumpet, (photo directly above) brought in this wonderful vintage photo of a French Photographers shop window, shown below. Just look at the top shelf in the window, filled with glorious old 'Globe de Mariee', in glass domes! Wow oh Wow! If only we could go back in time...
