dreams come true




i had the incredible honor yesterday of accompanying kristie as she did her first art show for her beautiful jewelry called Flatwear. (i also witnessed her the night before, only slightly pannicked and whipping up the finishing touches of her jewelry - man, she's GOOD.}

anyway, it was fun. the trunk show was at a local coffee shop, which turned out to be the perfect setting. i'm always amazed at how God fills in the details that you could never guess, like the perfect table, or just the right size necklace stand that "just happen" to be there when you need them. thanks Lord!

kristie did a great job smiling and talking with her public. and people were very interested to know how she got started, and how she made the stuff. i was the comic relief, and i kept forgetting to help people because i was chatting and shopping myself! doh. it was really fun to set up though, and even though the photo does not do it justice, everything was lovely.

whew. it's so satisfying to get to participate when God is actually making one of His dreams for His kids come true :) we're proud of you, lou!

dunno. just a thought :)
