Alice's Tea Cup & Tinsel Trading

What a Fabulous Day I had! I got to spend the Day with 2 wonderful hearted talented women my "FRIENDS" Beverly and Sandi! We had a party at Alice's Tea Cup in NYC and then went to Tinsel Trading for a book signing and necklace class taught by Kaari Meng of the French General! There were so many wonderful women at the class and everyone helped each other and we laughed and shopped and ate and created a beautiful individual piece. I have always wanted to attend a Charlotte Lyons workshop and there she was with us. It was such a wonderful time Marcia Ceppos owner of Tinsel Trading was the perfect hostess. Looking forward to more classes at the store! She had to slow down a little with the move of the store but ladies who live nearby please call write or send a carrier pigion to her expressing how you would love to attend a workshop there. A few years ago I had taken some wonderful classes from Terri Ventura of Dime Store Daze. Looking forward to some more! There was so much food and this Book signing/workshop turned into a party with new friends and old! So wonderful how some events can spark that creative light in our hearts....this did!
