Oh when Tuesday arrive I know it is going to be a fun filled day of playing in my studio and also hearing all the stories that are made up from one funny story that Cindy, our hostess in this challenge creates... her mind has to be going 1000 miles a minute to do some of these stories... they are so much fun...
Anyway this week were to take our finest or favorite things to a tea party at Tiffany's on 5th Ave... I had to tell a favorite true story about a sorority sister who I went to Tiffany's with... it was truly a story of a life time...
It goes like this.....
Well a sorority sister from college wanted to see the life of the people in NYC... she lived on some of her Dad's ranches and had never seen the life in the Big Apple... so I offered to take her home with me for the Easter Break... The day arrived an we got on the bus to go into the city... (I lived about an hours drive from NYC) We arrived in the city, and did all kinds of funny wild things... bought cigarette's with our name on them... in bright colors... bought funny hat's; all kinds of fun things that I would never buy, as I certainly didn't have the kind of money she was use to spending... that was for sure...
Anyway, her Dad had told her to treat herself to something really special for her up coming birthday... so off to Tiffany's we went... She walked in and told the jeweler who she was... he, I am sure checked it out... along with her line of credit... and then the buying began... she wanted a necklace of Black Pearls... long enough that she could tie a knot in them... and that it wouldn't be too short... wow... that is going to cost some pennies!!!!
They brought out trays of these pearls... and each one she hand picked..(with white cotton gloves on... ) when she was all done, the jeweler asked if we would like some lunch... while they strung the pearls.. of course we said YES!!!! Champagne and all... we sat there with our hats on, smoking these funny cigarettes and having the best time... and enjoying this lovely lunch with little tiny sandwiches with cucumber slices on the top, and all kinds of different tasting things that I really don't know what they were.. but they were one thing... DELICIOUS...
Anyway we knew it would take a while, so we ate slow and enjoyed the lunch at Tiffany's.... This might sound like a typical tale ... but this really happened in 1964 with a sorority sister of mine... and we had lunch at Tiffany's... LOL... black pearl necklace and all... a very EXPENSIVE necklace.. but she did like it... and wore it all the time... I lost contact of this friend after graduation from College, but often wonder where she is, and what she is up to...
So this card is reflecting that luncheon at Tiffanys...
I used a new technique... the technique is to copy 6-8 prints of the same picture... and then using your spellbinders create a 3d effect with the prints... you have to make sure each print is exactlly where you want it... and then you build it all up with pop dots... so much fun... and so neat to create.. There is another one above... hope you enjoy it...
Have a fun day and lots of creativity in it too..
Thanks for stopping by to visit my blog... hope you enjoyed your stay here...
Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie
