hello hello! for those of you who've signed up to receive my good ol' fashion snail mail on patinaWHITE's annual event...be on the lookout for a postcard coming your way! even with the advent of snazzy technology (emails & facebook & texting...oh my!) i still like to send out something tangible. a memento of sorts. so i collaged a design just for you all!
i have heard from many of you that you like to collect my cards...hanging them on your fridge to admire. makes my heart soar considering that space is usually saved for treasured family photos & important notes. plus the occasional grocery and honey-do list. well it seemed pretty special until that last sentence!
anywho...this year's art was inspired by a pile of collected ice-skates...in their worn & wonderful glory {see below}.
now without further hesitation (ramblings) here she is...miss america! ok, a tad dramatic...maybe not a beauty queen just yet but i think she is pretty darn cute! time to skate on in...
another creative brainstorm came about from that same basket of skates. with the addition of some fun ribbon, metal star, a "wordy" tag & festive greenery...this lone skate {below} would be an adorable addition to a wreath or front door. just {1} more treasure that will be waiting for you to see @ my holiday event!
oh yes! do you see the hints of the tallow berries tucked in the greens {above}? i was able to get my hands on some bunches after last year's absence of the hard-to-find white wonder. you really have to "skate" on by!
so mark your calendars! the first {2} weekends of november promise to be a good time had by all! and if you want to get the "snail mail" skinny on what's up...click HERE to be swept away to an email link, that, if you send your name + mailing address i would be thrilled to sign ya up!
i will end today with a line up of the girls of events past...{below}
i hope you will make some room on your fridge for a little work of art skating your direction! push the honey-do list aside...if it's anything like mine...it's often "overlooked" (ignored) anyway!
wishing you a wonderful day...
Have already received my card......such a delight to see it in the mailbox....I save them too.....they are awesome! Hope to make it to your Home Event!

Got mine in the mail today! Woohoo! I always love your postcards...just too cute!
Been looking everywhere for preserved or "faux" tallow berries....will you have the real stuff for sale?

you bet girl! the real deal! my grower down south wasn't able to get any to me last year so i ordered some REALLY early to ensure there were bundles saved for me this time around!
love love love tallow berries...i made a wreath with them years back...so cute but what a process! :)
have a great day...and thank you for lovin' your postcard!
