Festival of Trees

Megan, her mom (my godmother) Heidi, and I went to the Festival of Trees in Lodi today! I felt a bit as if I had walked into an episode of Gilmore Girls but I had a lot of fun. It was ridiculous cold though. We tried some Russian tea, which is basically warm Tang and way too sweet and walked around and saw everything and did some shopping.

I'm a sucker for homemade soap and I got a few that smell amazing. There was also this button enthusiast who actually has a button lovers club and makes jewelery out of buttons. She went on and on about buttons and I politely listened. I ended up getting this button from the 1920's that was made into a ring. I'm a sucker for the style of that period and the ring is very unique.

We also made our own dip candles which was fun! I worked really hard at dipping it so that it was perfect but when the lady mounted my candle (that's what she said) onto the wood she kind effed it up. Oh well. We then decorated it with pine cones, fake berries, etc. with surprisingly strong Elmer's glue. I like how mine turned out, even if it's a bit crooked.
