Trick or Treat at Faded Elegance


We had a fabulous Halloween at Faded Elegance. Chloe, my darling 4 year old, was Marie Antoinette. Chloe had broken her leg 6 weeks ago and was very relieved to have her cast off in time for Halloween. We have hundreds of cute little trick or treaters visit Historic Downtown Snohomish.
Well, I am back from my trip to England and France. I have so much to share and tons of pictures. I had the most fantastic time and found fabulous treasures at the flea markets.
Very soon I will have a post on my trip, I haven't even unpacked yet!
Au revoir

An evening of inspiration


We had a wonderful evening of visiting and crafting with Amy Duncan of Four Corners Design. Amy is formally a partner of the Salvage Studio. She is the queen of re purposing found items and shared her secrets on making paperweights out of candle holders using vintage wallpaper and antique buttons.

Amy brought buckets of the most fabulous vintage wallpaper and antiques buttons for everyone to use in making their personalized paperweight.






She used old file folders for place mats with neat little sayings.















Any excuse for a soiree, we'll take it! Everyone enjoyed champagne and nibbles between creating and shopping. Everyone that attended received a 15% off shopping pass for the evening.


Everyone decorated a box for their paperweights out of chinese take out boxes with vintage wallpaper, buttons and ribbons. Amy found the boxes at a wholesale grocery. This is a wonderful tip for unique packaging for the holidays.






I wish I had gotten a picture of all 24 fabulous paperweights. Each paperweight was unique and different. I enjoyed spending the evening with creative like minded ladies. Keep posted for the next craft class. Amy and I are thinking of doing a holiday ornament craft.
