Get Together!

On Tuesday evening we had a Dallas blog gathering at NorthPark. Originally we were set to meet at La Duni, but as the numbers grew it just seemed easier to more of a come-and-go event so we settled on the lovely food court area at NorthPark.
I was tight on time on Tuesday so Emily was kind enough to offer to pick up the pink balloons (when meeting in a large area you must have something to distinguish yourself and nothing beats PINK balloons!) and she also surprised me with a LOVELY pink and green arrangement. She made it herself! I also brought Lilly animal crackers to set at each place. They added a punch of color to the table as well. So, even though we were at the food court we most definitely spiced things up with a little pink and green.
I simple had the BEST time meeting everyone and putting a face with a name, or blog. Some of us stayed over three hours we had such fun! It always amazes me how many AMAZING friends I have made through blogging. I talk to so many fellow bloggers on a daily basis and always feel as if I have known someone forever when I first meet them. I am so thankful for this wonderful community and all the amazing ladies I have had the opportunity to meet. Another Dallas gathering must happen sooner rather than later!
PS- Erin was our wonderful photographer for the evening. She takes stunning photos and has a top of the line camera. We certainly lucked out having her drive in from Austin to join us!

That arrangement is gorgeous, and y'all look so cute! Wish I lived closer, you know I'd be there.

Did you get anything from the RueLaLa Lilly sale? I'd love to know what you purchased. They had so many great things on it this time.

Now I wish I'd driven up from College Station...200 miles each way is far, but maybe if there is a weekend gathering?

Trish said...

Hi honey! How are you? You know what would make my day, is if you participate in Pink & Green Thursday one week...you'd be a natural, obvs!! :)

This little bloggy get together looks like heaven, y'all are beautiful!!! Question for you - I missed the warehouse pre-party last fall due to work - any chance you're making your way back up North for the June event?? I would love to try to rally another little crows together!

Big hugs to you Hopsy as always xoxo
