One of the most amazing things about an art event is the genorosity of the sponsors and other attendees. Bird Song was no different. Laurie made everyone darling button card with a snippet of a child's book about birds, Suzanne gave me a handpainted bird plate, Cami brought wax covered tags. I've nestled my tag in a glitter covered peat pot from Marie, who also gave everyone a hammered spoon necklace- mine says "Cherish".
Dawn sent soap in peat pots from her family's soap company. I've ordered soap from Dawn several times- it's my go to gift that everyone loves.
Craft supplies are one of my favorite "gifties"- Hope made everyone a nest adorned matchbox filled with beads and bauble, my "suite mate" Sherry gave me a goodie bag with shells, beads and the K & Company journal tags that I can't wait to dig into. Sandy gave everyone a decorated case with a notepad and pen inside.
What a great idea- a pen and pad IN A CASE (a pretty one at that) for my purse that won't fall apart, lose pages or spot the lining of my purse with ink.
Laurie gave me this nifty vintage stamp holder- it used to be used to hold wooden handled business stamps like "Paid" and "Draft"- I think it makes a great picture and postcard holder.
When I was looking for cards to add to my holder, I really liked this one, so I scanned it for you if you're in the mood for a bird themed project. Double click to open to a larger size in a new window.
