A Gilding: Day Two!

I am not sure if I can contain the "gilding" to just one post, as it was a plethora of beauty for the soul!
I have amazing shots of Shea's A Gilded Life "church" home that are over the top, but I'm going to share just the photos right now that "spoke" to me... Such as this...
in her studio...
The table for our class was so beautiful too...

and Shea's home over-the-top gorgeous!

Of course Shea's studio spoke to every woman there
as creative souls just 'know and understand' a
place of creative perfection when you're in the midst of it...

The laying out of all the details just waiting to be used...

Here I am midpost, and I've run OUT of time to leave for Gilding: Day Three..
so for now, I'll leave you with this...
and I will begin again either later tonight or tomorrow!
I'm home again from the final day of Gilding, and resuming the beauty!
So here we go, girls!
We're still on day two.
Back into Shea's studio for a moment...
You can just walk around her HUGE room and admire arrangements like this...

and mannequins with wedding dresses or velvet dresses
spilling onto the floor...
Shea is going to be featured in the magazine Where Women Create
I belive in December,
Look for her Gilded Life studio on the COVER!
I know you're thinking how FABULOUS this all is, and, girls, this was only the
Beginning of the FAB!
Next came our Doll class taught by the fabulous
who makes masterpieces like this...
and you can see more of these amazing dolls by clicking my link to her!
She taught us how to decorate and make a "bird doll"
A wonderful instructor, and SO patient with us too!
We created all day...

There were crafting stations throughout the room...

Here is how my bird doll turned out...
All of our supplies to make her were (as with everything we were given)
presented beautifully too!
There was a little bag attached to the back with all the pieces to create our bird!

The crafting was fabulous, the food was fabulous,
Shea and Debe and her whole family were warm and creative and fabulous!
Divine!
Thank You so much for making all of us feel like
(Creative) Queens all day
and all weekend!
I will post more this week on Gilding: Day three!
