Book Signing to Celebrate Vignette's 17th Anniversary
Per the invitation of owner Lori Chandler, I had the pleasure of being a guest of Vignettes Antique Store, located in the Ocean Beach Antique District in San Diego.
To celebrate the store's 17th anniversary, I was happy to sign my books, meet new friends, visit with old friends, and enjoy the exquisite surroundings.
When I arrived, there was an amazing tent decorated to the nines by paper artist, Karen Lampard.
The fireplace mantle had books and flowers and words written on chalkboard paint. And a teaset all made of paper. There were mannequins with dresses made of fabric and paper ...
... and in every nook and corner, breathtaking assemblages made of paper ...
... and lots of beautiful flowers made of paper everywhere.
The bookshelf in the tent is where several of the books I've made were displayed ...
which made me smile.
And there was a wonderfully creative sign that was made within the store, right above a doorway leading to the tent. It also made me smile.
Right above the mantle was this hand lettered quote. What a great quote that summed up my experience at Vignettes.
Many thanks to Lori and Karen and the entire team at Vignettes for allowing me to be part of this special occasion. I look forward to future opportunities to collaborate with Lori and Karen and all the new friends I made at beautiful Vignettes. If you are ever in the San Diego area, I hope you'll drop by and see this extraordinary store where numerous talented vendors offer their best findings for sale. Here's their address:

Jenny, it was so great to see you there. I know I will love making projects with the book I bought, too. The tent, the whole event was amazing, wasn't it? Hope to you soon,
