Patina is Open!

Mady and I got to go to the Grand Opening of Patina on Wednesday. Nichole has started a good thing and there are lots of fun things to see. We came away with some great earrings and Mads got some very cute headbands. Go and visit her...she's open!

~Patina~

Well I just had to share this with you all...

Nichole, one of our fabulous vendors, is opening a little shop in Pleasant Grove...it's located in a beautiful old house on the corner across from the park. Main and something. Here's a picture of it.

It will be a place where you can find all handmade goods that change weekly...love that! She will also have classes available...love that too! Go and visit the website and find out all about it.

She is looking for crazy talented people to come and showcase their arts.

Way to go Nichole!!! Can't wait to see the mini Anthro in P.G. ;D

and last but certainly not least....

I love all of these pictures of the sign...we waited a long time to get one

made and I'll be danged if it didn't turn out just like we wanted it to...perfection.

Nichole Huntington is so hip and fresh and cute...

she has great ideas and knows how to display them...vintage suitcases, yum.

Oh I loved these little dessert stands...so many pretty dishes.

Her very cute headbands that every girl wants...including mine.

These handmade cards are beautiful...such talent.

Clairice is also just gorgeous.

One of those girls who is just naturally beautiful in a quiet way.

Her art is the same way.

And I love the name of her business, Nifty Swank.

This little lady, Clarissa, actually made more of

these adorable shirts while she was sitting at the show.

They are adorable...my very cute pregnant niece bought one for her baby to be...oh so cute!

Here's one of my favorite Apron Girls, Sha.

Cute, cute hairbows, binkie clips and bracelets for little ones.

She also has an extremely clever hairbow hanger that needs to be on etsy!

put together by my girls, Tracy and Jenny.

And then the aprons...

These are not just your average tu'tu.

Some of the cutest dang costumes you have ever seen.

There's a beautiful girl. She and my mom baked and baked and iced and dipped...

Thank you for all the support she received.

She made enough to pay for a good portion of

cheer! Can I get a Y.E.S!

My little sil, Aubrey made these adorable Santa's and did a fabulous job!

Her first dip in the pool of crafting and selling.

I'll be taking these to Dickens Festival in St. George in December or

Well here's Christine, another of my favorite Apron Girls.

Her booth was so pretty and right in the center of the world at our show.

She really does have a little of this and a little of that...so creative.

Apple pie filling...yummy!

She is just a sweet, kind, adorable lady.
