Debby Schuh NYC Tour and Workshop at Tinsel Trading

Last Year I went to TInsel Trading for a Debby Schuh workshop. I was so thrilled that she had some spaces available for just the workshop. I live in the suburbs of NYC and work in the City so did not want to do the tour part but let me tell you how jealous I was of all those people and all the fun places they got to go to! She is doing the Tour/Workshop again and I highly recommend that if you can go you should. Even if you have never been to NY and have noone to travel with do it. Everyone in that group was so loving and so sweet. It is a wonderful experience and Marcia from Tinsel Trading is a wonderful Hostess. Debby's workshop had so many extras and the project was darling. So read below and I hope that you can sign up for the last few spots she has. It really is worth it.

From Debby:    One of my favorite things to do is to go to New York City as it puts on its holiday finery and sparkles with the lights and decorations of the Christmas season! For the last two years and again THIS year, I'll be leading a lovely group of ladies on a tour of some of my favorite spots in the city and best of all, spending an evening in Tinsel Trading Company, where we'll create and shop and eat and have the store all to ourselves once again!

There are eighteen ladies signed up so far and just seven more spots left, so I thought I'd open it up to anyone who might not have had the opportunity to sign up yet. All the information is on the trip blog... you can access it by clicking here. You can email me with any questions you have at memorybee@msn.com. We've had a marvelous time the last two years... we can't wait to get together again and would love to have you join us!

We come from all over the country (and sometimes the world!) and make new friends...

We shop our way up 5th Avenue, taking in the beautiful windows and store decorations. We stop to snack and enjoy Central Park.

We bundle up and take a bus tour of the city.

We stop in FAO Schwartz and get our pictures taken with the doormen.

 

We take in the beautiful sights like the Empire State Building.

We taste lots of cupcakes and ooh and aah over the pretty lights.

 

We go to the Today Show and wave a lot and see what stars we can spot.

We go to the flea market and hunt for treasures.

We stop at The Ink Pad and shop for stamps and trinkets and all kinds of good things.

We hang out in Times Square and people watch.

AND we spend an evening in the fabulous Tinsel Trading Company with our wonderful hostess Marcia.

We talk and shop and eat and play as we make a special project that I design just for us.

It's the highlight of my year and I hope you can join me there! Please read the details on the trip blog carefully... the sign up information is there. (Right now the class isn't open forregistration separate from the weekend... I'll let you know when and if that changes.)

This is my last post from Canada and Sandy's wonderful "Retro Beach Beauties" Art Retreat. I have tried to edit this post so many times as I noticed some pictures did not post. Finally today I decided to link to the other ladies posts and that way what I can't get on here you will still see.  It was such a wonderful time, Sandy spoiled us with so much I feel like there are not enough "thank yous" for her. The ladies all spoiled each other also it was just like Christmas! So nice to connect with all these lovely  ladies, what a fun time!

We picked a swap partner from the jar and exchanged gifts

Lu Lu was first and she got Sandy's adorable "fish"

Tammy got a beautiful pillow made by Natalea

Vivian received a pretty tote made by Tammy

I received an amazing bottle from Vivian

Natalea received my Beauty Pageant swap

Sandy received Lu Lu's Beauty Crown

Sandy not only pampered us but spoiled us with lots of gifts also

Sandy made us these cute purses all different and unique with vintage books and fabrics

Tammy was awesome to pick up our drink tab at dinner! So sweet

I gave the girls a wood dress form with some trims from Tinsel Trading to decorate it. I made little sacks and decorated to put the goodies in

Pink Saturday - Last Day in Canada

Happy Pink Saturday! Please visit our Hostess Beverly from How Sweet the Sound and all the fun Pink Saturday posts.

Day 3 Sunday was our last day together in Canada at Sandy's Retro Beauties Art Retreat. We were so exhausted from the day before and we got up and Sandy made us Crepes! We all "decorated" our crepes just like it was our art project! 

I put a little Nuttela and strawberries on the inside

And I topped with 3 sprays of Cool Whip! It was so wonderful to sit sip coffee with the girls and enjoy our last hours giggling. The we took showers packed our bags and came downstairs to a clean kitchen and Sandy ready to teach us a new project!

Here is Sandy working on her canvas
