Okay first off..this weekend I hit a huge rummage sale and got this adorable vintage petite sewing basket! How cuuute! And it was full of trinkets and treasures~I seriously always loved looking through my mom's vintage sewing basket...looking at all the old buttons, trims, pins, etc. That was so fun. So looking in this was really fun too!
How hilarious is this? We have a fun creative group of girls and we love to do something creative once a week. Okay ....so we are creative..and yet cannot think of a name to call ourselves! ROFL! I know! That's just messed up! LOL Sooooo, we need your help!! We need you all to help us come up with a name. And once we find the name we like, the winner will get a $20 gift card to SMJ designs PLUS a goody bag of Heather Bailey's Freshcut Fabric! Yup! What a fun prize huh? Just because we are lacking creativity in the 'name' part! LOL I'm still cracking up at this! But hey it's your gain if we choose the name you suggest! Sooooo, suggest away!!!!! :) When we decide on one of your suggestions, I will post and contact you with the prize info. And suggest as many times as you'd like! :)
Thank you girleeeees!
Smoochies!

OK, how about the "Shabby Sweets"? You could casually shorten it to the "Shabbies" or the "Sweets"!

I"M SORRY...I am posting this twice...but I am not sure if I am supposed to post to the day you requested the ideas or the latest post...so sorry...newbie here:) Hi There!!! This is my first time contacting you...although I have been enjoying your blog & items for a while. I too am a vintage junkie and have been since I was a little girl. My grandma had a cottage in Malibu and was the ULTIMATE in granny chic not to mention a beach comber for over 40 years!!! Anyway...not sure why I am sharing...just feel like I already kind of know you:) Soooooo...anyway...thinking about your craft group. I was inspired by a vintage tablecloth I found last weekend at the Ventura Swap Meet (for $3.00 by the way.) Do you know those signature quilts that a close group of women used to make for friends who were moving away??? Well, I found the SWEETEST square table cloth with names like Mabel, Margarite, Gertie, Emma, embroidered all over it. All such wonderful & old fashion names! Just thinking that somehow you could incorporate this sweet tradition & sentiment into a group name...like the "signature girls"...or "signature chic"...or something like that. You could get t-shirts & each embroider your names on eachother's shirts...adding to them as new friends are added. OK...so that is my idea...for what it is worth. Happy Mother's Day!!! Kristin

Good Luck picking a name! There are some really cool ones tossed out here! The "Stitch n Bitch" one cracked me up!!
Is "Creative Circle" a trademark name?
If you quilt, "The Piece Makers"
"Queen Bees"
Or you could do like my friend did. She and a bunch of friends belong to "The Book Guild/Club" , actually not sure which. Sounds really scholastic. Anyway, what they do is get togeather once a month at a different restraunt and eat and drink and be merry! It made me laugh that they don't read and discuss books!! So you could go with any kind of name...doesn't even have to have anything to do with crafting!! LOL!
Happy Mothers Day!
