Its Showtime!


Its hard to believe that we are so close to Christmas!

 This year has flown by. The team at Our Feathered Nest is made up of two generations of mothers and grandmothers, and even we older girls keep a pretty full schedule.  In an effort to be level headed and responsible, we all decided that this year we would take a break and not do the show.  But who wants to be level headed?!  Thats a terrible thing to call a lady.  As the seasons changed and fall approached we all were so heart sick about not doing the show that we caved and set new dates and away we flew to catch up !  A creative storm set in and we are almost ready for show time. 
 We have lovely, fresh greenery, snowglobes, paper crafts, paintings, Paper mache, Queen Bee Vintage Jewelry, holiday finery and folly,
 great food to sample, and good conversation!
 



All of this goodness is packed into one weekend this year.  Make sure you get there early and bring a friend.  We are so excited to share our creations with you. 
 
 Come see Our Feathered Nest.

All thats left of Christmas


   It never fails to amaze me, that for all the build up and work that goes into making Christmas a special, unforgettable day- in the end, its just a day.   Like these cookies, we enjoy it and its gone.  I only make these cookies at Christmas because they are so much work.  By the time Im done Im surrounded by dirty dishes and food coloring messes. Yet year after year the desire to do special things to delight my family pulls me into more projects, messes, glitter and paint.  There are only 349 days left till Christmas and we dont have any time to lose!  This year we will blog about our craft parties and jury days for new vendors and crazy shopping trips.  We already have a few ideas on the drawing table for next year.  Watch through the coming months as we struggle to create something amazing and give you glimpses of new stuff and a little taste of Christmas 2012.
