Girlfriends, Cake, and Art, Oh My!

I just checked Mellie's (Little Melfie's) blog and so I cannot be outdone by her critique of yesterday. What fun (Nini-look away)!!!!!!!! It's so fun to be with Hope and it had been way too long since we had spent time together. And to be able to have a girly get-together with Mellie and Hope...well...picture the feelings from a perfect birthday for an 8 year old (minus the best friend in hospital) and you'll get the idea of what kind of time we had. Like a giggle fest. Hope is so creative and talented, it's amazing to watch her process, she and her art are perfectly fused. So we have this great meal and time at Eggspectations then Hope says, "Let's the three of us go to Borders and buy the new issue of Somerset Studios.". How cute is that? Three girlfriends share the thrill of purchasing the latest issue of our muse...now that's smellin' roses. Art Bar girls, eat your hearts out!

Our Frederick Shop...

Between shows, illnesses, weather, and sales (yippie), my partner, Janine (Nini-No.5), and I had really let our spot in Emporium Antiques Mall in Frederick, Maryland go to seed. So with an infusion of our friend, Karen of Primative Chic, we got ourselves back into shape. Until we can all find the ever-evasive perfect venue for our collective fabulous items, Karen decided that Nini and I had a good idea of selling at Emporium after all. We are so thrilled to be further fused to her! She also sells on eBay, check out her auctions, she's under the seller handle of glad*nest. Here are initial party pics of the Freddy spot, more to come when we get it filled up the rest of the way...
