Happy Mistakes

While decorating for my daughter's first birthday party, I cut a plastic tablecloth too short and was annoyed with the outcome. My mother in law said it would be fine, in art there are many happy mistakes. She was right. We cut the other layer shorter and we were able to use the remnants in another place and the main dessert table was still adorable, probably more so had I thought the whole thing through before cutting.

Sometimes when we take our goods to a sale we are certain what we think will sell and what we will be taking home. Before Seaside we made some cake plates, candy pedestals, etc. We made a sweet little jewelry dish I was sure would sell right away because the colors are adorable and dainty, which goes perfectly with the dish. I said in the morning if it didn't sell I would be taking it home. Every time someone picked it up I hoped it would find a great home, but a small part of me hoped it wouldn't - haha! In the end it was left behind for me to enjoy. Yay me!

and yes, she is posing in my bathroom ;-)

My son has inherited my love for our pieces. Yesterday, while in the spray paint isle (shocker - a Gourmet Giggles team member shopping for spray paint - never!), he asked if we could ditch our plastic singing kitchen and take one that I make home. Awwww, my heart melts.
