HAVING FUN WITH MY NEW BLOGGER FRIEND

This past weekend I was able to do something that I NEVER thought I would do. I met up with another blogger! Dayka from Life + Style. She actually posted about our meeting yesterday.

Let me start by saying I had a great time! I was so nervous prior to us meeting that I actually debated standing her up. Then I thought about it-- She is one of my followers. If I didn't go then I would probably lose a follower and I can't AFFORD that!!! So I kept telling myself that I can do it and I did!

We met at my favorite little hang out spot
Atlantic Station and had lunch ( she had dessert too). After eating (well she still had ice cream), we walked around a bit and took some pictures of some nice displays in West Elm




Z Gallerie: LOVE THIS MIRROR!




Dayka took these photos (for me) of this not so cute Christmas tree in Z Gallerie.




After leaving out of Z Gallerie we decided the ditch the lallygagging and we got down to business. She took me to some of her favorite thrift stores. I found a beautiful lamp and didn't take a picture of it.

Over all, the day went well and I really hope that we hang out again!


BTW....Next time we will definitely take pictures together!

YOU THOUGHT ABOUT STANDING ME UP!!!!!!?????? HOW DARE YOU! :) Um, the tree was not that bad--it had a lot of sparkle, and I told you I like the bling!

I think that's great! There's nothing like meeting (safely of course) people you have "met" through blogging. Two years ago, I met 20+ people that I had conversations with on Amazon.com. We have been in touch with each other ever since!

I can't wait to read the posts / photos that are going to come from the both of you after you start shopping and decorating!

Sounds like a nice afternoon. I'm sooo sad..Our Z Gallerie closed in St. Louis. I'm holding out hope they are simply relocating to another area..but I'm thinking the worst!
Fingers crossed,
Maureen
