The Queen of Tarte! Love Her!


I went to Cindy's monthly Queen of Tarte sale a few weeks ago.  It is always so exciting to go, she is uber talented.  She is also one of the sweetest people I know.  I've known her for almost 8 years... we met at an antique mall in Salem where I was a vendor and she was a guest artist/vendor several times, showcasing her very cool style.

I have never heard a coarse or negative word come from Cindy about anyone.  She is sweet and giving and a person with true class and grace.  She is a rare bird stylistically and as a person, authentic and true.

Isn't the one below awesome??

Check Cindy's blog for her Barn Sale schedule every month in Oregon City!  If you haven't gone yet, treat yourself!

Here is one of the treasures I had to bring home:
My photo doesn't do it justice, this lamp is so beautiful.  It's very heavy and tall and Cindy created the shade herself!  So cool, don'tcha think? :)  I'll take a pic of it in my home later and I'll post more pictures of Cindy's show tomorrow.

Hugs,

  6. Oh what great stuff! I cannot shop right now. I am down sizing and trying to get my stuff more on one design theme. I am excited about my process but the not shopping is no fun :(. I will soon when I get a better idea of what else I need to complete my look!
    Happy shopping!
