we just clicked or was it glicked?
This past Saturday I spent the day with my new friend Traci. We met at the Donna Downey class I took this past December. We were pretty busy throughout the class, but sat at the same table. When the class was over we began talking more and I offered to drive her to her car. As soon as she got in the car she noticed I had Glee playing and said she loved Glee too. It was then that I knew we just clicked. We continued talking about things on the short trip to her car and as she left i remember thinking... Gee, I really like her and would like to hang out with her some more!
Soon she invited me to a crop where we chatted all day and had a great time.
Then she asked me to go thrifting with her... and shared her secret spot with me!
This is what I found there...
I have such a serious look, I think I was channeling Anna Wintour in this.
Such a find! A vintage jacket with a mink collar, i don't think it was ever worn... the pockets were still stitched together, and it was 25 bucks!!!!!!
Then Traci has convinced me that I can make my convertables with ties...
I'm thinking some headbands and possibly wristlets... we shall see.
I found some old costume jewlery, books and these for our boat.
I have some convertable ideas for my hat.
Here's when you know you've clicked with someone.
We had just left Windy City Scrapbooking and I had placed my package in the trunk of my truck,
got in the truck,
took off and was driving up and down the street ... (in the city) looking for parking
the hatch is wide open and we never knew it till we parked again!
That's how much we were talking and having fun!
It really would have been a bust if my purchases would have fallen out all over Fullerton Ave.
I really believe people come into our lives for a reason.
I am so glad I went to that Donna Downey class. I went alone and that's not something I would normally have done. So I was meant to meet Traci and am so happy that I did.
Our next adventure will be checking out a new flea market and possibly introducing her to the volo antique shops that have tons of old vintage stuff and finds.
and... the Glee concert.
If you would like to meet her she has a delightful blog.
And look at these fabulous finds I scored in her vintage etsy shop!
Above If you press on the Anna Wintour name you will be taken to a link of The September Issue. I recently bought this movie. It is a 3 dvd set. If you can rent it with all 3 it really is quite facinating. The person who really impressed me was the photo sylist Grace. You simply must see her talent. The 3rd dvd is a brief look at the Met ball and it will amaze you to see what goes on the behind the scenes. It makes the Oscars look small in comparrison. You will see everything from the decorations, to the table settings and you will not believe your eyes! Loved this!
It's pouring outside, but the temp is near 60!
I feel like scrapbookimg something!

I can't wait to see the movie! I minored in Fashion Design in College it was such a rush during our finals. We had to produce a line and then there was a Major Fashion show at the Bonaventure Hotel in Down town Los Angeles. Many professionals in the industry would come and recruit students. SOOO.. stressful. Oh to be young again.
I am so glad you had a great time with Traci...so jealous. Lucky her!!! I will have to check out her Etsy Shop! Look at you girl making friends left and right so fun!!! She has some great ideas can't wait to see wait you create next.
Glad the weather is heating up for you. Scrapbook soon I miss your wonderful pages.
Hugs sent your way....
How fun, went to a class one day and left with a new friend! Sounds like a great time and the beginning of a wonderful friendship. I hope our paths cross one day. I wanted to see if you saw the house of 3 wednesday night ustream? It was all about photoshop and using the house of 3 brushes. Great bit of information. Almost makes you crazy seeing all the awesome stuff to create with. I love their stuff. Glad to hear it's warming up your way. Spring break for us next week. 10 days off work so excited!
so you can go to the glee concert!! so jealous. you have to take a ton of photos and share.

Glicked! That is hilarious! I vote for "clicked" and "glicked"! It sounds a little naughty though! LOL! I am loving the ties even more in that picture. I cannot wait to see what you do with them!!!!
I am so glad we met also! Really really glad!!! :) You look really good in *the* jacket! I am so glad we didn't dump it out on Fullerton Ave. Can you imagine the moment we would have realized it had been run over!!??!!??!!
I wanna see what you do with your Vicki hat too!
Love that coat!! What a great find! So glad you met Traci, cause then through Traci, I got to meet you!!
Hope we all can hook up again soon to scrap!

Hi Diana!!!
I can't wait to see what you're going to make with those ties! Whatever it is I know it'll be fabulous. The books you sent us arrived this morning and I'm blown away. You sent so many fantastic books! Thank you so much for helping us. I can't wait to add your books to the cart.
Have a wonderful day, friend!
