postnotes :: 10

Thanks so much for stopping by with your o-so-kind comments and notes of congratulations. Loved reading every single one and certainly wished I had enough mice to send back to each one of you. I am home from the Extravaganza that is Silver Bella and still a bit in the glittered daze of all that it was. Unpacking Andy's borrowed suitcase this morning, I saw that there was sparkle all over the bottom. Don't you know he's going to love that when he packs for his next fishing trip?

There is so, so much to share from the Nebraska weekend- not even sure where to begin. I'll let it percolate for a day and get back to you, but I do know that Cynthia will be happy to hear she is the winner of the Noel mouse. The random generator chose her comment below:

Happy Anniversary Charlotte!  You have given us 2 years of creative inspiration, amazing photography and generous glimpses of your sweet family..and we are all so grateful.  Your books are well worn and your kits have led to much crafty happiness, so thank you, thank you.
Cynthia
ps the wee mousie is precious.

Thank you, one and all, for each glittering word of kindness and encouragement. It means the world to me. xoC

Oh, Miss Charlotte!!! I had the best time at Silver Bella, and I hope, hope, hope you did, too! I would drive any of you girls to any antique store you wished! that was too much fun. We will definitely do it again next year! I can't wait to put up my big tree and hang my little blue mouse with all the other ornaments, right now he is hanging on my studio tree and smiling just for me!

Charlotte,
It was such a treat (and honor) to be able to take a class with you at Silver Bella. I absolutely love the holiday houses and ADORE my little mouse I bought at your booth. I do hope I get to have the opportunity to take another class from you in the near future. You are such a kind soul!
XOXO,
Cheryl

It was a pleasure to meet you at Silver Bella. Your class was delightful and I am looking forward to using my new inspirations in my decorating.

Your class was so much fun. I so enjoyed meeting you! Didn't get a mouse...:<(((( but did get so much inspiration. You are just such a delight to have met. Thank you, thank you! We meant that at the airport..from our hearts!!

I am speechless (a rare condition for me). Thank you Charlotte, for the generous sweet mousie give-away. I haven't won anything since Katy Keene paper dolls from our butcher, in 1956! After 6 grandboyos, we have an adorable grandgirl who shall tenderly wrap it in her blankie before surrendering it to the Christmas tree. With many thanks, Cynthia

congratulations Charlotte,

everything you do has such a soft and gentle spirit.

This new year my little grand daughter and I are going to be making things together from your little book "Mothers and Daughters at Home" just as my daughter & I did.

Thank you for such lovely thoughts and sweet inspirations in all that you do.

Oh, Charlotte. I still can't believe I got to meet you in person. I loved my classes so much. You are just wonderful. I just finished "Loving Frank"...I bought it during my layover in Denver, because I heard you all talking about it. I loved it...not exactly what happened in the end...but it was so good. I got sucked in and the three hour wait went by in minutes. Thank you. Take care.

Hey Charlotte, I think I found it! On Saturday I was at one of our fav used bookstores and I picked up a 1963 book of American Needlework. Remember back when i was asking you if you knew about this certain kind of stitch work...CANDLEWICKING, the machine-made imitation is called "chenille". Now I gotta get me some candlewicking thread??? and the needle with two big eyes in it, at right angles to each other, one below the other. Happy happies.
