GOSSAMER DESIGNS ON THE ROAD AGAIN - SPOKANE OR BUST!

All focus for the last 2 months has been getting ready for the upcoming Farm Chicks Show. In the last couple of weeks Beth and I have painted, waxed,drilled,hammered,glued, and made signs all for the show. I honestly cant believe all the preparation it takes. Oh yes and I managed to get a really nice sunburn on my back. No I couldn't stop to put sunscreen on. What was I thinking. Manic anyone. Unfortunately we will be missing a very important member of our road crew, my sister Pam. Who's going to cover for us when we need a potty break or talk us down when we had one too many coffee's? She definitely balances us out. Oh well I guess we will have to deal with it. For the second year in a row my Bobby is towing the trailer. I swear, I have know idea what I did to deserve him. Poor Bob with the amount of stuff he gets asked to do I think he thinks that he has two girlfriends. Does "Threes Company" ring any bells? Based on last years adventure we have decided to establish some "Road Rules" which I will share with you.

ROAD RULES
1. 30 minutes in each thrift store. Thirty minutes does not mean 1 hour.
2. No back seat driving
3.Know where the map is at all times!
4.No trying to out run each other in the thrift stores
5.Don't get bit by any roadside critters (squirrels). This means you Beth.
6. You will be allotted 15 minutes to feed any wild animals. This means you Beth.
7.Transportation manager (Bob) controls the stereo.
8. NO WHINING ALLOWED!!!!!!!!!!!
9. Remove all debris at pit stops required.(candy wrappers) This means you Vicki
10. Have a great time and don't sweat the small stuff.

Well it's time to say goodbye for now. Hope to see you at the Farm Chicks.

Peace, Love and Happy Trails.

"Rustic Elegance" Victorian Styled Collar's

I've been designing one of a kind collar's that have been inspired from the Victorian period.  I can see these collar's paired with a very non-traditional wedding dress or perhaps vintage white cotton slips layered as a dress with a pair of oh so cool cowgirl boots.

BREAK DOWN OR BREAKING GROUND

As visions of Suzy Orman dance in my head saying and I quote "YOU CANT AFFORD A STUDIO the new home of Gossamer Designs Studio is in its infancy. We have passed the major demolition of my very loved cottage/garage and are on to pouring the concrete for the new foundation of our very own new double car garage with a studio on the second floor.Fortunately I am still breathing, haven't had a break down and Bob and I haven't killed each other yet. So I guess every things going to plan. OK I admit I am a worry wart and it isn't my fault because I come from a long line of worry warts. I guess its just in my DNA. As my Bobby's mom would say "Well bless her heart she comes by it honestly". So I have decided that if I am a little off balance for the next couple of months and if I pace like a crazed weasel that will be just ok with me. Acceptance is the key word! So what if my whole back yard looks like a war zone. Acceptance what a nice word. So if you se...
