Got Photos? You BET!

Ok, let's start with Friday.  Everything was going "as planned", but then the karaoke went a little longer than expected, so I'm sad to report that I didn't make it to the CrescenDoh event later that night (darn it!)

But then there was Saturday.  I met up with my friends Linda and Martha around 11:30am at Glitterfest.  I tried to take as many photos as I could, but there was just sooooo much to see and touch and well you'll see what I mean . . .

This was just ONE of the crowded isles! . . .

And here are some artist faces you may recognize . . .

I didn't get photos of these lovely ladies, but it was so nice to see and or meet and talk with ALL of them!  
Christie Repasy - nice to see you again!  Your work is as beautiful as ever.
Christine Saqui - just as sweet as I remembered the first time I met her!
Robin Dudley-Howes - FINALLY got to meet her in person.  Nice meeting you Robin!  Hope to see you again soon . . . maybe at Piecemakers??? :)
Stacey Steimle - ALWAYS good to see Stacey!
And of course Kerri Judd as well as Danyel Montecinos - the authors of this book.  Say what?  You don't own this book yet?

And there were so many other artists there selling their fab-u-lous works of art.  I'm telling you - if you missed this event and you were in town . . . I'm just sayin'!

So after Glitterfest, we (Linda, Martha and I) went to Mollywood Garden Design - a really cool place with some really unique treasures!

After Molly Wood Garden's, we went back to Linda's for a "Girl's Night".  Linda's hubby was out of town, so it was just us girls last night - including Marlena, aka Marley . . .

We started off with hors d'oeuvres - artichokes with a wasabi mayonnaise on the side, a spicy, sweet corn relish, tortilla chips, cheese, and salami. . . 

and of course, the wine.  Click on the photo above to read the cocktail napkin :) . . .

While sitting out on the patio, we could hear laughter coming from one of the neighbor's houses and decided to "crash the party".  I loved EVERYTHING about this house - inside and out, but I  just met "the neighbor", so I just took a few photos once we were outside.  Click on the photos to get a better look . . .

After the tour of oohs and aahs, we walked back to Linda's and had a fabulous dinner that Linda had prepared for us . . .

And of course we had to have dessert (I picked this up at French's Bakery) . . .

After we dined . . .

I won't tell you what time we retired for the evening, but let's just say that the ABC World News wasn't on television yet :)

This morning we got up and had coffee and left-over dessert for breakfast and then headed over to Old Town Tustin to the Vintage Flea Market and Whimzy.  Here are a few photos I snapped . . .

When I saw this I thought - let sleeping dolls lie! *hee hee*

I love these old windows hanging from the ceiling

After Whimzy, we stopped over at The Vintage Lady to see what Cathy had new in the store and then walked across the street and had lunch at Quinn's.


I'm back home now, doing my laundry, dusting, vacuuming, ironing . . . *sigh* and getting ready for the week ahead at "the day job".  Ooooooh but what a wonderful weekend I had!  How about YOURS?
