Rae Ecklund says
What a breathtaking array of treasures!!
I want them all but if I had to settle it would be the black fabric with
beaded collar, however, I see it as stunning on you, so do keep this one for yourself!!
Your show will be unlike anything out there.
I know it!

Thank You beautiful RAE…………I hope it will be a success!XX

Elizabeth Maxson says
Oh how I wish I could attend your show! I think you crawled inside my head and knew exactly which items I would have picked myself. Thank you for visiting my blog -was thrilled to see your comment. I don’t know if I ever told you, but you are such a beautiful and stylish woman – I’d give anything to have hair like you!
(Oh, also, your son is so handsome – long hair or not – he is obviously from a beautiful family… 😉
Have fun at the show and lots of hugs
Elizabeth

Contessa, What lovely things. I am so sad I am away and you will be so close with this show. I’m in love with those hats and the jewelry. Monogrammed pieces are so fun to find too. How did you find those gorgeous pieces from old gowns? So fabulous! Oh I hope I get to go antique shopping sometime with you!!
Is that Admiral Butter’s Dad? What a cute face. Boxer’s are the best.
xxoo Kim
Beth says
Oh how I wish I could go to your show! How exciting!

Oh Elizabeth…those tie backs,those Venetian candelabras,that cuff…I love them all. Your booth will be fab!! Can’t wait to see that black velvet opera coat with fur collar. I can just imagine me at Whole Foods wearing it. Can’t you?

Great painting of you!
Anita Rivera says
Contessa! Good morning to you! It was a pleasure to read your comment this morning, and yes, wouldn’t that little Italian car be splendid in green and perusing about the Italian countryside? We once rented a Peugeot in France and soaked up all the beauty of the Southwest region.
I am thrilled to be published for the second issue of this new magazine, and also to encourage others to read, The Waiting. Get your tissues ready!
Dore @ BurlapLuxe says
Oh Elizabeth, how I would love to shop your booth, and to part with some of these pieces I am sure is a struggle, but knowing they will be bought from someone who loves them will make it that much easier to part with.
The candlesticks are divine, the cow necklace? Well, it’s so has my buying name all over them and I can see why this sale will be one of your hardest to let go of.
I am the same way when I create, I poor my thoughts, inspiration, and heart into each piece and when the piece tells me it’s completed I have the hardest time letting go!
Thank you sweet dearest Elizabeth, for making a connection with me, it’s one I treasure dearly.
See you and your beauty soon.
I am going to place you on my side bar of inspiration so I don’t Mis a thing you are up to.
Xx
