A Birthday Weekend in Lambertville!

What does a girl really want to do on her birthday? Give up?....Well this Birthday girl wants to spend the day with her friends, eating, and shopping, exploring the hidden treasures of Lambertville, NJ, right across the river from New Hope, PA!

Since Glenny and I are born a day apart, the same year, we usually celebrate all week, with family and friends, sometimes its so hard to get everyone together on the same day, so we split it up. The weekend of my birthday I was in Omaha, Nebraska at Silver Bella, a gift to myself from Glenny and well me and with a busy schedule this past week, I was happy to spend the day with some great friends: Suze, Bonnie, Michelle, Linda, Blinging Jackie, Patti, Teresa, Debbie and Joan (aka my mom), our first stop The Lambertville Station http://www.lambertvillestation.com/ located at 11 Bridge Street in Lambertville.

When I arrived all the girls were at the table, waiting for, you guessed it me! I sat right next to Teresa, and across from Mom. I was greeted with the most beautiful tiara ever, placed on my head by Suze which was filled with dozens of rhinestones and sweet pearls, I wore it the rest of the day and night, and bestowed with the honor of QUEEN!



But the regal presents didn't stop there, I was showered with treasures from all the girls, from art supplies to handmade polymer clay trinkets, beads, cards, jewelry, amazing cards like this one that Suze did for me, LOL, I love it and a BLYTHE doll, yep, I said it A Blythe Doll, I almost fainted when I opened Michelle's Gift, Smelling salt could have come in handy. I was almost in a zombie state from all the goodies from: Linda, Bonnie, Debbie, Jackie, Teresa, Bonnie,Patti, Suze and Michelle, each of them went above and way beyond to make my day shine, I started to cry with joyful tears, because it was all so beautiful, I really felt so loved.





After present opening and eating fabulous food, we headed outside for a group photo shoot, our waitress is also a photographer so we had some great photos, we blew the bubbles Suze and the girls brought, outside, I added some extra bubby effects in this photo! But first I captured some Bling Bling Bubbles that came from Jackie's Bubbles! LOL!




Now we were off to do some shopping damage, the first spot was Sojourner, located across the street from the Lambertville Station, we were all in there for over an hour looking at beads and sparkling goodies. Before we crossed the street, Patti, Jackie, My Mom and I stoped to admire the gorgeous rugs, oh do I wish I could have been Jasmine in Aladdin, and made these beauties fly into the air, LOL!


http://www.sojourner.biz/
Here is a picture of Suze, deep in bead thought, I love how it came out! Don't you!
After finding us some Vintage German Rhinestones on top of our treasures, we headed across the street for some refreshing water, when we came upon, yet another gorgeous store, this one was more of a boutique filled with loads of enchantment, here we did even more damage, I bought several sweet beaded and fabric garlands, in creamy yellow tones and a sweet sugar plum purple color. My mom bought a set and some pretty sparkling items.

After this spot we chatted outside and took more pictures, we are truly the papparazzi, LOL!


Next we were off to look for some antiques, I bought an old children's book from the late 1800's, when we left there, we walked to our final destination just down the street, where we walked through exploring the three floors of treasures, in the basement there are fabulous vintage gowns and trinkets, here is one I fell in love with, along with this gorgeous hat, both were out of my price range, but I had to capture them on film, aren't the details beautiful!



Now we were exhausted and ready to all go home and rest from a fantastic day of celebrating. Suze's came up with a fabulous idea, and we all added to it, this is going to be our tradition for each of our birthday's, picking a new spot or thing to do and explore, some rules: its fun, artsy, and we each get a tiara, call it the traveling tiara, for each of our birthday's. Jackie came up with a great name: The Tiara Chronicleswhich is going to be what we call our celebration days, just a group of woman, from different areas, backgrounds and ages, but who have similar likes and desires, all coming together to create a journey, exploring the day of celebration, while wearing something symbolic, A TIARA, treating the Queen of the day, just as the name states: QUEEN!

The Magic of Silver Bella Nov.13-16,2008
There is nothing in this world that can compare to the friendships and fun that you can make and have in the heart of the U.S. in Omaha, Nebraska, that event is called: Silver Bella, the sisterhood of enchantment, of artful magic! It all happens here.

I would need to write a novel of at least 500 hundred pages to describe my whole Silver Bella Adventure and a whole website dedicated to the many pictures I took of Omaha, The Old Market, Shoppes, Friends, New Friends (Bella's), The Silver Bella Event, Mary Engelbreit and the mastermind behind it all: Teresa Mcfayden, her hard work, dedication and desire to conjur up such an event is un-believable, pure magic.

The best part of this whole adventure was it took place on my Birthday and Glenny's Birthday weekend. I encountered airport delays with Tri-State Pals: Meleen Dupree and her Family and Cris Cunningham, as a result, we met Mariano Rivera, The Yankee's Baseball Closure, the best ever.

Caroline (Meleen's Daughter) and I walked over to his Mom and aksed her permission, and well she was super sweet and said Okay, then Mariano signed my Hotel Room letter and Caroline's Newspaper, here is the result, my one arm single shot picture.

Once in Omaha we greeted our shuttle and headed for our destination: The Embassy Suites in the Old Market District of Omaha, which is on the tail end of Iowa, believe it or not.

After settling in we headed for lunch and shopping, once I entered Second Chance Antiques, I never left, was there oh I say 4hours, LOL, I told Meleen to go on without me, LOL. Seriously by the end I was ready to rent a room there. During the beginning, I first met up with miss Sandy aka Sandbeech, fellow Faerie zine moderator and fabulous artist, whom I just adore visit her site at:
http://www.sandy-sandyscreations.blogspot.com/ and the utterly amazing Natalea who is super sweet and nice visit her site at:http://www.kandeland.typepad.com/my_weblog/

After an exhausting shopping extravaganza, I headed back to the hotel and got ready for Opening Night at Silver Bella, where all the Bellas meet, greet, eat, drink, and swap precious delights to all, where we begin our artsy experience with a wonderful group workshop where we were given the best goodie bags ever! Here are some Opening Night Previews, the first is a picture of Me, the super sweet Kim-Artistic Bliss http://www.artisticbliss.typepad.com/ you have to visit Kim's Blog, she is brilliant and Miss Jessi aka Scrappi Jessi, the sweetest gal ever visit her blog at: http://www.scrappyjessi.blogspot.com/ the next picture is one of Jessi, Me and Sandy Now here is a picture of my new pal Tiffany aka Shabby Scraps http://www.shabbyscraps.typepad.com/ This girl is the best ever, super sweet, we bonded instantly!

So many fab memories from Opening Night, now off to Day 2, well guess where I headed the Old Market, Second Chance Antiques, Fairfield Antique Market and Scooters Coffee. I snapped some beautiful and interesting images of the Old Market District, before I headed back to the hotel to prepare for vendor night, here are some fabulous photo treasures:
I took loads of interesting photos, but these were some of my faves, to see more visit my flickr silver bella album at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/moonfaires16/sets/72157609551827484/ or the full album in my Picasa album of over 200 pictures at the bottom of this post. Now off to the Bella Prom and Vendor Night!
Since I was missing my huge parcel filled with my 1950's prom dress, handmade silver trees, props and inventory, I stayed up making new and finishing items for vendor night with the help of Miss Caroline Dupree, the best helper ever, she cut, and paste perfectly, a true Bella. I received more help from my vendor neighbor's mom: Marybeth (Princess Lasertron's Mom) who offered her assistance, The Dupree's and Teresa McFayden was also extremely helpful with my situation, but I didn't crack under pressure, I went foward and worked with what I had, selling most of the inventory I had with me. My greatest experience was about to occur, my first sale in the very, very beginning to my artful idol, Mary Engelbreit, who bought My handmade Charlotte Doll: Sierra, The Mermaid, can I just say Faint comes to mind, I was speechless.

Here I am with my art idol, Mary Engelbreit, on my birthday, at my booth, with my doll: Sierra the Mermaid, which she just bought, my first sale/hers.
How can you top this, you can't, you really can't. My head is still whirling!
She is beyond words brilliant, amazing and too sweet, nice, a pure doll!

After a wonderful Vendor Night and Bella Prom, I didn't have too much to pack up, since I sold most of my inventory, still I was exhausted, but well worth the tired sensations, it was truly a magical night, after dinner and lounging with other Bella's, I headed off to bed, for some early shopping around town again.

I ran over to Fairfield Antiques and Joe's for some more goodies and then I ran over to Second Chance to http://www.oldmarket.com/directory.aspx?id=480 buy my pixie tea set, some more ephemera, valentines and a special valentine for Mary!
Now I'm off to the luncheon, pratically running there, LOL!

After Class I ran upstairs, touched up my make up and headed over to the lobby, met up with a large group of bellas and started our walk to the restaurant, Sandy and I quickly detoured to Second Chance which closed at 9pm, to snatch up last minute goodies, like dolls, I bought three and she picked up a few, the ladies of second chance toasted with us to my birthday, some wine and we were on our way back to the restaurant. After dinner a few of us decided on some dancing, at a country bar, our waitress husband Josh guided us there, here is the picture I stole from Sandy's Blog of us crazy dancing chicks:Gina Grabel, http://embraceyourbliss.blogspot.com/Julia Hackney, http://www.mizjuneytalks.blogspot.com/Josh (LOL), Sandy and Me!

After that, we headed back to the hotel, where Sandy surprised me with this beautiful gift called a faux cupcake This really touched my heart, its just beautiful and sitting in my studio right now!

Once all our goodbyes were said, I went upstairs, packed, and layed awake utnil my 4:30am wake up call from Rosanna, ugh, I was tired, we grabbed the shuttle at 5am along with: Sally, and Rebecca, then waited for Cris and boom after an annoying airport check we were ready for take off too Newark airport, 2 hrs 15 minutes, a beautiful flight, all this would not have been possible if it wasn't for the fabulous Teresa McFayden: http://teresamcfayden.typepad.com/
