Three is the Magic Number



Day 3 Artist
Medeah Kitsmiller



Today's sneak peek is from Medeah Kitsmiller. Medeah is relatively new to Paper Crown but boy has she fit in perfectly. Medeah is a former art teacher and now gets to work on her craft while raising her adorable daughter Miss Chloe - how she does that with a three year old amazes me.

Miss Chloe didn't feel like shoes this day

Medeah does beautiful mixed media canvases that are covered in layers of fun. In addition to selling at the Glitter Market, Medeah also is teaching mixed media classes at Paper Crown. More of Medeah's work can be seen at www.medeah.blogspot.com.

Medeah's La Paloma class still has a few openings. Class will be held Tuesday, May 10th from 5:30-8:30. Cost is $55.00. If interested, call Paper Crown to sign up.

Believe it or not we still have one opening in Jackie's Mother's Day Book tomorrow, Thursday, April 28th from 5:30-8:30. Cost is $45.00. If interested, call Paper Crown 848-2389 to sign up. Bet that 1st person to sign up won't believe their lucky stars.

Late Opening Wednesday 4/27/11

We will be opening at 11:30 am on Wednesday, April 27th, 2011 due to dr.'s appointment.
I appologize for any inconvenience

Only 4 Short Days!

I can hardly believe it is only 4 short days until Paper Crown's Spring Glitter Market. So very much to do and so very little time. Easy for me to say, I'm not vending. Here is a sneak peek at today's vendor-

The Very Talented and Even More Humble

Miss Linda Land

I have known Linda for almost 13 years. She was also a very talented Nichols Hills Elementary mom. How in a school full of incredibly talented artistic moms did I happen to hook up with the one really bad apple- I will always wonder but anyway... Linda created the most wonderful play sets with her good buddy Cherry and then I discovered her amazing art work - Wow! Over the years I have been lucky enough to get a few pieces and I love each one. Linda has a studio in Paseo and for years did the magical displays at Cloverleaf. 

More of Linda's work can be seen on her blog, lindalandsflutter@blogspot.com

Linda will be sharing a booth with her good friend Brenda Little and I know it will be a sparkling, fantastical and very crowded table! 

We really have such amazing items for Glitter Market, I just hope we aren't sold out by noon. Theme for Glitter Market- You snooze you will lose!   

While you all are waiting for Saturday to arrive here are a few goodies that arrived yesterday. While the market will be crowded, if it is anything like last fall, the store will also be packed- and I personally hope so.

I have a feeling the same theme will apply at Paper Crown- You snooze you will lose!

New My Mind's Eye- Lime Twist
Fun papers and each line has several coordinating twines in new colors- these will fly out the door!

Lime Twist has 2 cute boy lines. Thank Goodness, you know those can be very rare.



New Anna Griffin albums, magnetic boards, notepads and frames
 make the perfect Graduation and Mother's Day gifts



Countdown Day 5

I think I'm finally caught up- WHEW!

A most important piece of information- The Paper Crown Spring Glitter Market held THIS Saturday, April 30th will be held right next door! We are so excited we got the empty storefront right next door (the former No Regrets location, 9301 N. Pennsylvania). If you are facing the front of Paper Crown it will be to your immediate left. Although it would be nice to have neighbors, I'm glad we don't this weekend.

Day 5 Valisha Hall

I have known Valisha for 11years, since Payne and her twins Emily and Jacob were in kindergarten. Her art has always been amazing and she is so very humble. She would never toot her own horn so I'm glad to get the chance. Valisha does a lot of painting and mixed media projects. Currently most of her work is committed to the OKC Designer Symphony Showhouse but we were able to get a few of her smaller pieces. Many of you have admired her vase of red flowers in the classroom and I think I've almost twisted her arm enough to teach a class. You won't want to miss these mini paintings and if you could twist her arm just I little more I'd appreciate it! 

New My Mind's Eye arrived late this afternoon and all Easter is 75% off 

Countdown Continues

The Paper Crown Spring Glitter Market countdown continues.....

The computers at the store are much newer than mine at home so here is the picture that wasn't cooperating yesterday.

This is a sample of the beautiful textile work by Martha Green. If you were involved in the Easter swap you will agree with me that Martha's work is beautiful. We are so glad she is joining us for Glitter Market and can't wait to see the vibrant art she will be selling.

Day 6

(I realize it is actually Day 5, we will be having another post later this afternoon) 

  

This gorgeous mosaic arched window is by a new vendor to Glitter market, Amy Baldwin. Amy does the most stunning mosaics and fun calendars. I know you all will go crazy for Amy's art. More of Amy's work can be seen on her blog http://www.curlyqmosaics.blogspot.com/. 

As you can see you will want to be here right at 10 on Saturday to get the best selection. I predict a sellout. We should know the exact location for Glitter Market later today so watch for a second post with Day 5 sneak peek and our Glitter Market location.

I Should Count on My Fingers

My Spring Glitter Market countdown got off. And I'm pretty sure I counted on fingers- gez guess  my mind is going in too many directions that is always when I make mistakes. So anyway we will pretend like it is still Saturday and since it's the weekend (and who doesn't love a weekend ) we'll cover day 8 and 7. 

Day 8 Ms. Donna Layton

We are so very glad to have Donna back at Paper Crown. She is an accomplished artist and such a very nice person. We have missed her and are so glad she will be joining us at Glitter Market. Donna has been painting a lot this past year and this is one of her new pieces inspired by her love of vintage wallpaper. In addition to her paintings Donna is bringing some beautiful fabric brooches and  her amazing stash of the best crafting supplies ever! Donna's blog is Under the Red Roof  if you want to look at more of Donna's work or her treasures. I also think Donna will be bringing a class sample- Yipee we can not wait.   

Day 7 picture is not cooperating- at all  I so wanted it to work because 7 was going to be Martha Green and she told Franc one day that she frequently works until the wee hours of the morning and since it's a wee hour now, I thought how appropriate. My computer isn't cooperating so we will have to consult an expert at a reasonable hour. Nevertheless you are going to love Martha's quilts they are truly pieces of art!


Now we are kinda back on track, I may need to go back to Ms. Sinclair's kindergarten class. Don't want to leave without wishing our dear Franc a Happy Happy Birthday Weekend- us Paper Crown girls believe in spreading out a good thing!

nite nite  and I hope you all enjoy a wonderful Easter

p.s. Franc did you do it?

9 Days and Counting...

Just a short 9 days and counting until Paper Crown's Spring Glitter Market. I know to you anxious shoppers it will seem like an eternity but for the vendors, I have a feeling the week will fly by. The inquiries regarding Market have been many and believe it or not we have gone interstate girls- we have had calls from Texas, Kansas and Arkansas! I predict the line will be forming early Saturday morning- I will bring coffee for all you early birds, need to have you all wired up to hit the ground running when the door opens.

I thought it would be a good idea to count down the market with a daily " tease " of what is in store for next week's market.

Our first tempting treat is from the multi talented  Jackie Peters. Jackie has been busy creating so many unique and wonderful treats for the market. I could have featured a new Jackie creation for each day of the month and still had items to spare- jewelry, mixed media, books, pillows, just to name a few. It will be crowded around her table so please be sweet- she and Franc are working as fast as they can : )

New This Week

New goodies this week include: Echo Park Summer Time and a new shipment from Somerset Studio including the newest Somerset Studio, Artful Blogging and Where Women Create . Just in  Anna Griffin, it will be unpacked and ready to go by late afternoon.

And if you just can't get enough of our Jackie, we have a opening next Thursday, April 28th (yes, 2 days before Glitter Market- only our very own energizer bunny would teach a class 2 days before another big event! ) from 5:30-8:30. Cost is $45.00 and the first one to call Paper Crown, 848-2389 to reserve your spot is the lucky winner!

Join us tomorrow for another sneak peek at Glitter Market goodies- off to get ready for a fun weekend of  soldering with the multi talented Miss Heather Ales- good times!
