Glitter Haus! Featured handmade artist La La Laurie

As you may have heard, I'm helping to organize a wonderful holiday event - Glitter Haus!  I wanted to share with you a little bit about each of our vendors in the coming weeks, and give you a peek at what they make.

Let's start with La La Laurie!  Laurie is an amazing artist who creates amazing paper crafts and the most amazingly gorgeous bouquets and boutonnieres you've ever seen.  Seriously, amazing.  Her creations were recently added to the new BHLDN wedding collection, and she is an official Crafting Expert over at Fiskars.  I met Laurie last year right before she jetted off to the Martha Stewart craft show in the Big Apple.  I feel so inspired by Laurie's talent and heart for what she creates.

Go here for more details on the event, which will take place Friday, November 25th, where you'll see Laurie's goodies for sale.  Please RSVP to the email on the event page if you'd like to be included on the guest list!

Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres will be served while you shop a beautiful collection of handmade holiday items from our vendors.  

Our vendor line-up includes:

Parisienne Girl Designs - Elegant Vintage Rhinestone  Jewelry

Deeds & Petunia - Vintage Inspired Women's Accessories

La La Laurie - Handcrafted Holiday Fanciness

B. Children's Wear- Adorable Children's Clothing
