When you are fortunate to meet some of your blogger friends in person it can be a really fun time......and even more special if you can hang out with them at a favorite place!
On Saturday I met up with Deborah from Pictures, Pots & Pens, and Vanessa from Vanilla Lavender - we three have been known to hunt often at SuzAnna's Antiques - and we were thrilled to welcome Jeanne from Backyard Neighbor who came down from her beautiful home in the North Carolina mountains to spend time with us. We enjoyed a great lunch at Cafe Capistrano and then headed across the road to SuzAnna's. Jeanne is an expert treasure hunter, having been in the antiques business for many years with her sisters. I was so impressed at her knowledge of items she picked out. We all had a great time together - hope we can do this again soon.
Deborah, Mary, Vanessa and Jeanne

Jeanne, told me how much fun she had, and how very nice you are. I'm glad she was able to make time to spend with you.
ReplyDeleteFriends are indeed valued treasures. I'm glad each of you has a new friend, and Jeanne has three new friends.
Wow, that is so nice that you got to meet the blogging friends. I hope someday, Heidi, Kristen, Mandie and I can also meet you. What fun that would be.

Mary, Nice blog today. In fact I love it!!! We had so much fun on Saturday I hated it to end. I love your sayings about friends, because the words are so meaningful. Don't worry about posting your award or if you even do not care to pass it on, I'm fine with that. Thank you for your sweet comments about me.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs, Jeanne
Mary, we did have fun Saturday! You must tell me what the three of you did after I left.
ReplyDeleteI have just posted the pictures that I took.
Hugs,
Deborah

Hi Mary! It's been a while---work.
ReplyDeleteI've just been keeping up, reading some of my favorite blogs but that's it. Kathy Ann at Be-Stitched Artfully has been visiting my blog recently and has reminded me how much I do enjoy blogging. She also tagged me, so I decided to tag you. If you'd like to play along check the rules at my blog.
Well I do declare Mary ! That Vanessa and Jeanne just show up everywhere ! I am like Penney, I am so jealous! :0) :0)
ReplyDeleteHi Mary
ReplyDeleteHow great that you all got together. Next time you do it, let me know and maybe I can join you.
I love your words about friends.
Hugs, Rhondi
What fun!
ReplyDeleteThe blogging world is just so wonderful.

Oh, this looked like SO much fun! And you gals look like a fun group of women. It's easy to see you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't wait to meet YOU in October. I've been fortunate to meet 6 other bloggers over 3 years, so I'm really looking forward to our meeting "across the pond."
Pay my blog a visit today....I shared our story with my readers.

You are going to have to start offering charter caravans from all over to SusAnnas if you continue to showcase their goodies. I am so jealous!
ReplyDeleteJanet
