Road Trip to Phoenix

I am getting ready for a road trip with Jodees Inc.

We will be at the Phoenix fairgrounds selling Sealah No Sew Adhesive products at the Rusty Barn Show.

CLICK HERE for more information

Quilters and  crafters travel from all over the globe to see the latest trends and inventive products to purchase at the Rusty Barn. Our booth number is #331

I will show off recent projects that clients and artisit have been making using sealah tape products. 

The beauty of the product is that you can use it on so many surfaces...paper, fabric, metal, glass and wood.

One new use I used in my shop...the  hat on "Jack Spratt" 

I used sealah no sew tape adhesive to adhere the deck of cards and ribbon on the black velvet hat.  So quick and easy to complete!

Sealah tape is a very smooth and fast drying product. The tape adheres quickly and has a faster result then hot glue or liquid glue. 

The blue night stand  shown in the photo above I used a little piece of sealah tape to adhere on the gliding wood bar inside the drawer. The drawer seemed to be moving a little off track but now the drawer glides in and out perfectly. I just placed a small 1/2 inch piece of tape under the bar and that's it! The bar inside the drawer is not moving at all. Thank you sealah tape. 

The most recent publication my parents products are featured in is the 2012 winter issue of Threads Magazine!

Congratulations to Jodees Inc !

Just a reminder:

If you live in the Inland Empire please don't forget to stop by and vote for your favorite mannequin for a chance to win a 50.00 shopping spree at Forget Me Not Antiques! 

For those of you who have been asking me to purchase sealah no sew tape locally, I did add several 5 yard variety packs to my shop. I have the vareity packs for sale in a display curio near the front of the store. Just ask Martha or Jan for assistance to purchase.

The entire line of sealah tape products are available to purchase anytime on-line HERE  

Ok friends, I am off to finish some projects and also finish packing.

Joining blogging friends HERE to share Pink for the weekend!

What Inspires You?

Capturing something artful with my camera is a favorite way I can share creativity and inspiration.  

A recent visit to the Las Vegas Neon Museum was a huge highlight for my 50th Birthday! 

Come take a peek and be inspired in a new way...

I shared these photos on my flickr page and mentioned how I would have loved to purchase a small sign or just one letter to hang in our home... But this museum is for preserving history, not for selling.

The chippy faded graphics from the past were amazing to see in person. 

The fluer de lis was a favorite to see!

My husband and I were smiling the entire time we were on the tour. Between the two of us and our art backgrounds we could have stayed at the museum all day!

For more information about the tour times of the Neon Museum Boneyard and to make reservations in advance CLICK HERE

You can also make reservations for photo shoots in advance at a higher rate determined by the Museum Director.  

A very popular location for Hollywood to shoot :) 

A fascinating tour and interesting history behind the iconic neon signs and their original designs.

I highly recommend the tour!
