So I miss October Afternoon so much...I am in MN, and used to always shop the warehouse sale, plus after Archiver's closed they opened up a litte October Afternoon store in Apple Valley, MN. I'd pop in there once a week or so. Then one day it was just...gone.
Anyway, I saw a thread on here about OA and thought, yay! Are they back? Nope, but in one post it said that one of the OA designers was working on Carta Bella. So I went to check them out-well, thanks for breaking my bank, lol.
60 bucks later I have a shipment coming next Tuesday, AND I ordered a bunch of stuff off Ebay that I had not seen and was no longer being sold in traditional stores, yay! Oh and then I found the dog line...uh oh.

I like the cream backgrounds. I didn't get into OA when it was around. Of course it takes me forever to like something and then the company no longer exists.
