Woo-hoo! The opening of Bliss Co-op was Saturday and it was just lovely. Really, really lovely. And so many people! Above, you can see my "area." I know I already said this but it really is so gratifying to see all your hard work gathered into one place.
...all the little nerd stuff in one place...
...the t-shirts, totes and gift tags...
...and all the Marceline goodies! Sigh. Happy :)
Of course I forgot to take any pictures--but there were tables of food and wine and champagne and a bonfire--just adorable. And it was so busy in the shop itself I could barely get these pics of my shelves! I had no idea there would be that many people but it did my heart good. And once you see pictures of Sugar Loaf--which I am going to provide shortly!--you'll understand why. Should you live nearby, its a lovely place to come and kick around for a weekend afternoon. I feel so fortunate to be a part of this!
Unfortunately I didn't get to meet a lot of the other artists which was so disappointing! I did meet two, only one of whom I actually thought to take a picture with--the lovely Gina Shelton and her sweet husband, Jackson (with the most amazing vintage glasses, both of them!) here with us...
This is the ONLY picture we took of the surroundings (I'm so mad at myself!) but there is a bonfire to the left, and the shop is behind the photographer. It was great. (If you click on the bliss link, there are a couple of pics there.) I also will show pictures of the work of these other talented ladies, because there are some really beautiful/adorable/amazing things in this shop.
But I did remember to take a picture of another Marceline goodie (outside real quick before the party started!)...its along the lines of the fairy-tale-on-the-go...
A wooden "book-box" with special treats inside...
Five little plushies of our fearless little mushroom hunter! For inventing your own marvelous mushroom-hunting stories or just as an artful keepsake. One Marceline, and three mushrooms, all of my original drawings printed onto cotton...
...and backed with red polka dot fabric.
The plushies are between 6" and 3" tall and 3" at the widest. The book is 5"x7" and 3" deep. And it's here!
Be back tomorrow with a fantastic chick pea soup recipe!
The little book box is so adorable! I love it!

It's been a
