Crafty Wonderland and Sparkly Pink Goodness From Ethel

 I went to Crafty Wonderland yesterday.  This was my first time and it was AMAZING!  If you are in the Portland area I highly recommend it.  This show is what America's Largest Christmas Bazaar was "back in the day", before it crossed over to the dark side.  There were over 250 artists and craftspeople selling a huge variety of goods.  I was looking forward to seeing Magpie Ethel's booth because we have become blog friends but I haven't seen her in action.  Oh.My.Gosh.  All I had to do was look for the sparkle!  It was so crammed with people I could barely wiggle my way in to shop.  I was able to get three of her stemmed reflector flowers that will be part of a Christmas gift for another friend and the reflector clip above for my little pink tree.
 She gifted me with a pretty little box containing three new additions for my pink tree. 
All three are vintage, which is exactly perfect.  A little pink pine cone and even an indent. Happy, happy, happy!!

Ethel's vintage crafting is pretty spectacular, especially when you can see it all displayed in one place -- so glad you got to experience it at Crafty Wonderland. And it looks like your little pink tree is filling quite nicely. :-)

I think if the lights went out you could find Magpie Ethel! She has more sparkle than a million stars. Your pink tree looks so pretty!!
