The Grow Your Blog Party Winner is....

Wow, it's February FIRST! And the weather outside is springlike! 

A beautiful day in the Redwoods. 

I'm thrilled to announce the winner of my Lace Bundle is #35, 

chosen by the random picker, and that is: (drum roll please) 

KAREN DARCUS of Alaska Blue Moose!!!

Karen mentioned her Mother Mary Lace book in her comment

so I certainly checked it out. She is soooo talented!

And  big THANK YOU to Vicki at

2 Bags Full

I've met many, MANY!, new friends!

And found so many lace lovers as well.

I think we're ALL WINNERS!

Thank you all for visiting my blog 

and making this such a fun event!

I spent the last three days working in my shop,

Boulder Creek Antiques & Art 

in the sweet Redwood town of Boulder Creek.

I got the idea from several blog party commenters

to sell some of my wonderful vintage finds.

So, I played with some vintage button card images

and came up with a darling packaging idea.

Here's how they look....

 I also hung some of my lacy bags off one side.

And here is the display of the Prayer Keeper Books. 

I like keeping them under glass, in a display case, 

kinda gives them a place of honor and reverence.

Thanks again to Vicki and all my new blogging friends! 

I'm looking forward to keeping up with your amazing creativity.

Sweet Blessings in Gratitude, Chris
