Say the Secret Words.....Get 15% off of purchase at my booth at the Victorian Trading Companys' Open House!

The Victorian Trading Company, in Prairie Village, Kansas was gracious enough to ask Linda to participate in their 25th Annual Holiday Open House from December 2nd through December 4th.  She has kicked into the holiday mode and has  been playing with lots of sparkle, lace and glitter, creating some pieces that We hope will put you in the Holiday mode as well.

If you're in the Kansas City area and are looking for a unique, old-time Christmas shopping experience, drop by.  Linda and the other attending Artists will be showing their creations in the Tea Room.  The Victorian Trading Company is located at 4107 W. 83rd (corner of 83rd and Mission, in Corinth Square), Prairie Village).  Lastly, if you do attend and make a purchase from Linda, if you whisper "Al sent me" to her, she will give you 15% off of your total purchase price! 
Thanks, and please check out the pictures below,

Facial Frame for Christmas

 Fresh from a supplier, a new manaquin.   (The Face)

And fresh from Lindaland (my name for Linda's Studio) a new Christmas Extravaganza  (the Frame)

Now, as we all know, a picture without a frame is just.....a picture

and a frame without a picture is just.....a frame

BUT....

put them together, and though they both retain their essence, they, together have become something greater than either was by itself. And they have become something larger than the sum of their parts.

They have become a new creation, a statement.....they have become Art.....

Why not consider giving your own picture a frame?  If a shiny, bald, plastic head can look this good, just imagine......

To blog

Having spent the better part of the morning setting up our new (and first) blog, I've reached the point where I actually get to say something. 

When I started, the words were flowing, the ideas perculating, the descriptions of all the wonderful new products that are in the works, or completed were fairly rolling off my minds' tongue.

Then.....

"What template would you like to use?"  "What color & size font?" " Which widget?" "Who is buried in Grant's tomb?"

With each choice made, came doubt..."hmm....maybe I should try this background.....nope....how 'bout that background?.....better, but now I have to change the font color...."

And so it went.....for 2 hours.....

Needless to say, all of those wonderfully literate alliterations that were percolating, percolated out of my mind and into the ether of unrealized realizations...

Maybe tomorrow today's ideas will find their place on paper (or virtual paper, as the case may be).  But for today....no way!
