Design Sponge Craft & Book Party - Lowcountry Style

Last night Charleston had the supreme pleasure of welcoming Grace Bonney to town. Dwelling hosted the Design Sponge craft night and book signing party, and I was lucky enough to be in attendance and hang out with Miss Design Sponge herself. 

{Um, can we say absolutely adorable?  And she's as sweet as can be too.
Add her to my girl crush list!}

So as I was saying, the night started with a small crafting party. 

And here's a few of my lovely "craft-mates".

The craft du jour was making fabric paint stamps.  I decided to make mine a robot.

I made a onesie for our soon to be baby boy and also ended up doing a little bag for Lilly too!

There was still a little blue on the stamp when I did Lilly's robot, but I think it still turned out pretty cool.  Here's a peek at some of the other cute designs last night.

Such a fun night!  Beautiful space, lovely people, all to celebrate one talented blogger's success and new book!  Congrats Grace.

 

Charleston Blogger Meet-up

This Thursday I'm attending a meet-up for Charleston bloggers.   If you're a local blogger (or if you're a reader and would like to join us) we'll be at Social dowtown at 6 pm. 

Thanks to Kim at Keller Creative for putting this together!  Hope to see some of you there.

Some Fun Things

A couple of weeks ago I got together with Courtney from A Thoughtful Place.  You know, the cute girl behind the blog that has a million fun and crafty ideas.  In blog world we totally hit it off and even email frequently.  I'm happy to say that I adore her in the "real world" too!

Courtney was in Charleston for a long weekend with some girlfriends, so we couldn't resist the opportunity to meet eachother.  The plan was to catch up at a restaurant/bar that she and her friends had just finished eating lunch. The problem was that this particular area, (Isle of Palms) can be quite touristy and busy during the summer and I couldn't find a parking spot.  So she ended up just jumping in my car and we went a mile down the road to the beach house she'd rented with her friends.  We of course had to joke that she's brave for jumping in the car of a stranger ;)

{Yes, our dresses even matched!}

So fun to connect with my blog friends. Who else is coming to Charleston to see me??

Remember a couple of weeks ago when I posted about Novel's opening party?  Photographer Laura Olsen with the Charleston Mercury (a fun Charleston based newspaper) was there too.  Here's a small screen shot of the story.  That's me in the black pants.  And thanks for the kind words, Charleston Mercury!  {I have to admit I felt a little boring after arriving and seeing a girl donning a pink tutu!}  Ya'll can click here to see their whole story.

That's all for now.  I'll try to pop back in on Monday to wish ya'll a happy 4th!
