Still basking in glitter....
(this is the glitter lounge in which you will hear all about later)
So hard to put into words what an experience it was.........meeting people who you feel like you've known for a long time....but really just meeting them.
I flew out of Virginia into Georgia for a connecting flight. There I met Suzanne and Jocelyn. We talked the entire rest of the way to Omaha! We dropped our bags fast and Suzanne took me immediately to Second Chance Antiques. I can't even describe that place. It's loaded with everything under the sun with new arrivals every hour. The entire basement was vintage clothing, hats, shoes and jewelry. I was so overwhelmed I came out of there with just a tiny package......it was just SO much stimulation!
Thats a "Bella" concentrating hard on a purchase! See what I mean? Every nook and cranny of this place was stocked.
Even the outside of the buildings were gorgeous.
Since I arrived a day earlier than I'd planned, my "little sister" Karla treated me and several others to a trip to an exclusive online Vintage Wallpaper hideaway in Iowa. Hannahs Treasures Wallpaper was a site to behold.
Every available surface was decoupaged with the most beautiful papers.
It was quite hard to decide on which rolls to choose. We certainly all came home with lots of beautiful wallpaper. (Karla and Tiffany)
My precious wallpaper was carried safely back to Virginia in my arms the whole way. Which wasn't an easy task since when I landed in New Jersey to make my connection there was a two hour delay. So I grabbed a bite to eat and came back 30 minutes later WELL before my flight and the plane had arrived and left without me. So I had to sit in New Jersey until 9pm and didn't get home until after 12:00. Then it was up bright and early to work this morning.
I'm still on a glitter rush. I have lots more pictures to share, but I need to collapse and sleep for about eleventy hours first.
More fun pictures of lots of goodies and gifties to come!
Hey Robin,
It was so nice to meet you!!! I wish I could of figured out a way to go on Jessi's bus tour & make my way to Hannah's wall paper store. :)
How did you like your classes?
xoxo, Joanna

We never had our wallpaper get together and go over the pretty papers we each bought! There were some great ones. I sat on the floor of my hotel room and shared some with Amy and chatted with her a while, then realized I had ten minutes to get packed and out of the room. You should have seen me scurrying and packing up!
I'm so glad you came, it was fun!
your sis, Karla
