Welcome to Fancy Friday! This a day where we post things that strike our fancy! Pretty things…things we covet. I saw a couple of those things at Bloggy Boot Camp this week. Like this Fancy Friday worthy frock! Mama Trisha rocked this outfit and stood out in the crowd! But, it wasn’t just her frock that was Fancy Friday worthy, she’s the real deal and will totally make you laugh! Check her out at Desperately Seeking Silence.
This other mama…let me pause here to say that Mom’s are Fancy, especially when given the chance to be a grown up for a day…co-blogs (sound familiar?) with her bff at Mayhem and Moxie. I sat next to her at lunch and made small talk while trying to figure out how to unhook the clasp and casually have it land in my bag.
Let me first say that I am a texture lovin’ girl! I stop to touch everything! Especially something as beautiful and yummy as this! I Like It Frantic made this purse by knitting the flowers then washing them, total felting technique and stitching them on to a handmade bag.
This little number, I wore. I bought it at the American Craft Council Show in Baltimore the week before Bloggy Boot Camp. Miss Fitt (totally talented…you should see her hats!) made this pretty little flower. I wore it on a vintage turquoise jacket, knowing it would make me feel very fancy!
One last fancy item that I am totally coveting today…yeah, you know, ’cause you want it too…the iPad. Sweet thing, find your way to this mama!
Great eye… these were some of my favorite things too. I especially loved Trisha’s tunic. She stood out (in a good way) all day.
LOVE all of the things you pointed out! I LOVED Trisha’s frock (and her, of course!) and I remember gushing over your lovely pin as well
I loved your flower pin too! We got side tracked talking about the knit/felt process I forgot to tell you that for needle felting make sure you have something soft under your project. A damp kitchen sponge works well. And go slow. I break my needles because I’m just going too fast.
You’re right! Trisha really did look fabulous. I still can’t get over the wonderful sea horse pin that she wore.
And thanks for the feature. I’m honored to be among such great picks!
Now I’m sad I missed bloggy boot camp! Looks wonderful!
I want an iPad too. I’m currently without a laptop and my iPhone is on it’s last legs…maybe one is in my future?
Did you get a pic of Trisha’s fabulous handbag??? I actually petted it, it was so luscious.
Trenches…I heard about the bag, somehow I missed it! You held it? Did you give it back?
Beth…I so wish you had come! It was a blast!
Francesca…you’re fabulous in every way!
(we seriously need a new thread plug in!)
Frantic…thanks for the tip! I must be rushing, ’cause I’ve broken many a needle!
Debi…the pin was killer!
Citymouse…she was pretty on the eyes, wasn’t she?!
I’m glad you didn’t include Fran’s face in her necklace photo.
She hurts my eyes.
Trisha is stinking adorable. I don’t care WHAT she wears!
Mama Kat…I told you I was totally focused on that necklace all else faded into the background! Sorry Francesca! I’m sure you have a beautiful face! I’ll pay more attention next time!

Just wanted you to know, and all of the amazing ladies that commented here on me and my crazy tunic, I will be printing this page off and framing it. TODAY. Seriously, for a girl that doesn’t think much of herself, this made my entire year so far. And quite possibly my life. Every single one of you are so incredibly fantastic, to say meeting all of you was a blessing would be failing to give the experience justice. I heart all of you. SOOO much.
Trisha MADE that top, and the cutesy pie beret thing she wore Friday night. If it wasn’t a beret, blame my sangria.
Trisha! Did you make that top?
oooh I sat next to Trisha at lunch and wanted the frock AND the jewelery she was sporting!
