Oh fabulous day!

Yesterday I met up with two special blogging gals. Mary ann who I have been blogging with for quite a while now, and Susan who is another Maine Girl and practically a neighbor!

We started off at Susan's lovely home, where we got a sneak peak at her studio and her newest pieces. Susan's children were adorable, and we were treated to some play time with the kids! We all jumped in our vehicles and headed to Bath, a beautiful little downtown.... where we had some coffee, treats and did a little bargain shopping. We chatted about life, art and family.

I was thrilled to pieces to meet you girls!

Susan and Mary ann

Me and Mary ann...and I must mention my FAB Tiffini Elektra necklace I'm wearing!

We all exchanged wonderful little gifts. Mary ann made us a collection of the cutest Halloween tags evah'!! I have an idea of how I want to use them for decorating...so I'm going to wait and show you them when I'm done! (you girls have me in the Halloween decorating spirit!) But here are some tags that are for sale...go check out her Etsy...she's got all kinds of pretty papery goods!

Susan gave us notecards with her beautiful collage art!! I don't want to send them to anyone, I want to keep them all to myself! (so if you do perhaps get one in the mail, then you know you are ultra~special!)

It is still a bit too dark to take a picture this morning, so I'll give you a close up shot of Susan's beautiful work. This graced the front of one of the notecards...

Go check out her fabulous art for sale!

Thanks again girls for a wonderful afternoon! I can't wait to hook up again, and I can't wait to hang out on the Cape next fall at the justBe creative gathering! (did I mention that Susan and Mary ann are both teaching workshops there as well??)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now it's back to work today.....geesh, all ready??

We are heading up to the camp this weekend with 6 friends. Judy and I plan on doing some hiking, and leaving the kayaks behind. At some point this week, before we leave, I have some "Fabulous Felt Flowers" I want to put up in the shop....there's just not a lot of time, but I will try! (to those of you who have emailed and asked about them...THANKS!)

Jes,

I am so happy you gals got together and had a great time!
We will have to plan something in the spring; I really want to hang out before next October.

I am actually going to be in Maine (Kennybunkport) this weekend for our anniversary. Know of any good places to go?

I did see your message on the Swtchboards, but I forgot how to post. I am not use to communicating in forums.

Have a great time camping. I haven't been in a long time, but I really enjoy going.
XO,
Melba
