A Little "Sparkle" at Monticello

I purchased this dress form for only three dollars, collaged it with vintage music paper and it was transformed Kathy Zell Style. My plan was to sell the dress form but now I love it so much that its all mine.

With a great deal of help from the Display Queen Kathy Zell I finally filled my very little space full of Christmas bling. Kathy came by the day before the big move in and helped stage my space in my oh so little living room. It's all about display. Everything has to be pleasing to the eye, easy to get to and a good balance of eye candy. This was quite the challenge when your space is three feet by five. Thank god that she did help me because by the time we did this I was pretty much not functioning very well. I was obsessed with Christmas and hardly slept the last three days. I felt like I pretty much pointed and grunted in response to everything.

Only a good friend would put up with this. I guess I'm just a lucky girl. The first thing on the agenda was to design the display pieces. Kathy went from room to room gathering up feathers, millinery, lace, nests anything that she was drawn to. I was busy going through bags filled with vintage treasures to find just the right pieces. My roll was assisting her with her vision quest. Now here is the final result of all this effort.

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
