Yes, I LOVE my plum tulle skirt from Kellie's lovely Etsy shop!  I feel like I'm a little girl again, playing dress-up, only it's dress-up for grown-up ladies!  It makes a blissful swishing sound as I walk, only I don't feel like I'm walking.  I feel like I'm floating on a cloud.  

I wanted to have my bro take some photos with the snow in the background, but it was 2*F outside that day.  No thanks, I'll keep my coat and boots on, if you don't mind.  Jenny took these photos for me at the Ladies Christmas Brunch.

I also wore this ensemble to the Spokane Jazz Orchestra Christmas Concert later that evening...

The concert was FABULOUS!!  Far and above exceeding my expectations, which were high.  Well worth the 6 block walk from the car to the theater in 2*F weather while wearing dress shoes. *wink*  And the theater itself was beautiful, as you can see in the pictures.  Thanks to Kellie and Algy for the photos!

Our evening ended around 10:30 at Denny's, eating cheesy fries and hot fudge sundaes, with my bro entertaining the waitress with corny jokes.  The perfect way to end a perfect day, wouldn't you agree?

We are epic.  The end.

Doctor Who Blog Party | Giveaway Winner {Button Badges}

I don't usually make apologies for not posting as soon as I said I would on my blog.  Because, well, it's my blog and real life comes first.   But, I do want to apologize for not sharing the results of the Doctor Who giveaways sooner.   Real life has been extremely busy lately.  So, there you have it, an apology and an excuse.  *grin*

Due to circumstances beyond my control (don't you love getting to say that?), I cannot announce the pendant/keychain contest winners at this time.   I will do so as soon as I possibly can.  Thanks for being patient. :)

Today, I'm announcing the winner of the Doctor Who button badge set from Kellie Falconer Design.

And the winner is.... *drum roll*

And now for the BIG news...

This Saturday & Sunday Wool & What-not and Kellie Falconer Design will be appearing at Pickin' on the Prairie, our first ever antique and craft show!  Together, we'll be offering a lovely selection of clothing, crocheted accessories, vintage finds, and home decor in our wall tent booth.

I've been crocheting and sewing like crazy getting new items ready for this event, and I think it's going to be a lot of fun!

If you're in the area, we'd love to see you there!

Happy Trails, y'all!

p.s.
I still have a ton of stuff to finish up in time for the show, so Wallpaper Wednesday will be postponed until further notice.  My creative juices are decidedly low at this point anyway;)
