July 26 I will be teaching another class and it has to do with Man's best Friend...........I'm just going to tell you that much!  It will be the same way I did the Mystery Class a couple years ago.  If you were in that class you will probably enjoy this one.  I hope to have the sample at the store this week but I have not decided how to display it yet, because it needs to be a secret inside! We shall see...........if any of these classes sounds like something you are interested in call the Paper Crown today to reserve your spot  405-848-2389.  Hope to see you this summer!

The Paper Crown has a few things in the works for this summer.  Stay tuned to the Paper Crown blog and mine to see what will be going on in the next few months............

Hope you all enjoyed your Weekend!  I had a great Mother's Day!

Have a  great week............

Happy Mother's Day...........

Wishing all you a Happy Mother's Day!

The Pioneer Woman Coffee Cake was our refreshment for the evening.  The recipe is in her new cookbook!  If you are a coffee lover you will LOVE this cake.

enjoy your day...............

 

Before Colette knew she was coming to Oklahoma I had purchased a few pieces of her hand work from her Etsy shop!  When she decided to come I asked her  just to bring them instead of sending them in the mail.  Was I ever surprised at how  beautiful they were in person than the photos.  They have pieces of old lace, an old collar, the front of an old dress, photos, ribbon, vintage fabric and buttons.  I now have to decide on how to display and hang them and when I do I will take a photo!

........are these not wonderful!

And then she handed me this sweet little card with a heart made out of paper mache, wire and of course her signature color RED tied it all together!  She is the master of her craft and I am thrilled with my stash of Colette art!

If you would like to go onto her website and look at what she has to offer on her etsy .......A Bird in the Hand is her website.........take a peek!

I hope everyone has a great day!

whew......................big weekend at the PC...........

This past weekend at the Paper Crown we were honored to host one of the most talented " little French Canadian" artist, Colette Copeland!  We had so much fun from the time we picked her up at the airport on thursday evening until the end of her last class on saturday late afternoon. These photos will show the wonderful time we all experienced!

Colette came to teach 4 different classes and she also set up a couple of tables with her wonderful art to sale.........I think we wiped her out.  She did not have much to take back but  promised  to come back in the fall and join us for Glitter Market!

Robin's sweet daughter Ally joined us for the morning class........she is a doll! Colette & Ally talked back and forth in French. Ally just got back from France on a school exchange program.  Thanks Ally for stopping by and joining us older women for lunch!

Beth I am so sorry but I did not get a photo of you and your house. We gave you such a bad time, and not to get a photo of your sewing skills...........

The photos above were the morning class.  We then had a break and returned for the afternnon class, Birdies on paper..............

Cindy even got to join us for the afternoon class.

Saturday classes were the same except the bird class in the afternoon was fabric......

These girls were having entirely to much fun..........but what a way to end a perfectly wonderful weekend with a very talented artist!  Thank You Colette for the fun memories and sharing your talent with us OKIES........come back soon!

Enjoy the rest of this weekend!

For those of you taking the classes this weekend at the Paper Crown you will need to bring your scissors, thread and needle.  Everything else will either be provided by the Paper Crown or Colette.  We are so excited and ready to create and have a great time!   See you girls friday at 10:00 & 3:00 and saturday 10:00 and 3:00!

BEAUTIFUL.....................

Before I continue this post........... some of you know this past weekend Cindy ( owner of the Paper Crown) was married to her college sweetheart!  Let me just say this it was one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever attended.....and I have been to MANY weddings.  The surroundings, the story of the bride and groom, the minister that married them the entire event was so genuine and SO Cindy!  The bride and groom met at Baylor 29 years ago...............the wedding was in the  Armstrong Browning Library on the Baylor campus..........this building is BEAUTIFUL inside as you can tell by the photos!

the music was BEAUTIFUL.......

In memory of the bride and grooms parents Cindy had a small locket with photos of them on their wedding day!!!!! Another BEAUTIFUL touch.......

The reception was held on this local historic Waco Suspension Bridge........

it was a little windy but by the time evening fell the wind calmed down and it was a beautiful evening..

I love this photo of Austin........he was having so much fun!

they got the whole family in on the dance floor.......

Cindy dancing with her youngest son.........he is a doll!

Cindy dancing with her handsome oldest son.............!

When evening fell the lights on the bridge and candles on the table made it a perfect night!

I hope you all enjoyed the photos of this BEAUTIFUL event!

We all wish Cindy and Austin all the blessings this world has to offer, and for the happiest future together...........a happy ending!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Enjoy the day and remember if you would like to sign up for Colette's class this weekend call the store.

Next weekend will be special at the Paper Crown! We have a special teacher coming all the way from Canada to teach 2 classes on Friday May 4th and 2 more on saturday May 5.  This "Special Artist Teacher" is none other than Colette Copeland. If you have ever picked up a Somerset Magazine you have probably seen some of Colette's art work.  She has been featured many many times and we feel so privleged to have her come and teach.  You all are in for a real treat who have already signed up and if you have not we have a few more spots left.  You don't want to be one of those who after the weekend and don't sign up, then you hear all about these classes and wish you would of signed up...........if you go to the Paper Crown blog on my side bar you can see the photos and information on these classes.  I do know that some of the supplies Colette will be using in these classes are from France.........who wouldn't want to use supplies and materials from France.  Call the store 848-2389!  Do not call the store tomorrow thursday April 26  or friday April 27 because the store will be closed due to the new air conditioner being installed..............yeah, just in time for the warm weather!  Saturday is back to regular hours.........

( The photo above is some of Colette's art I bought from her at Silver Bella a couple years ago........when Cindy and I talked to her today on the phone she said she was bringing some of her artwork to sell.............wow!)
