ABCD Meet Up

Last night I went to the first ever Sydney ABCD Meet Up organised by the very sweet Steph from Bondville (it was so nice to meet her in person) and Lisa from theredthread. Over 30 bloggers turned out for the event!

My new bud Kate from Another Donkey Design and I went together (she is my nearby neighbour - so cool!)

I got to have a great chat with some lovely bloggers such as Jaclyn, Leanne, Amanda, Sarah and Jess. It was a lovely evening of blogging, crafty banter.

There was even a goodie bag... we were asked to bring along 30 things for the bags - I was very slack and only included a business card but there was some awesome stuff.... here is Minky surrounding himself in all the goodie bag loveliness :)

How was your Friday? Ahhhh.... almost the weekend!

Had a very bad night last night as Will had a bad bout of croup and coughed till 4am! So I'm pretty much a walking zombie. Looking forward to chilling out over the weekend.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!




P.S. oh and ABCD stands for 'Artists, Bloggers, Crafters & Designers' in case you were wondering.

  5. What a lovely idea! Great opportunity to meet up with "like minded" friends. I have done a little posting about the beautiful Wedding Print I received from you. The photo is a little bit dinky and certainly doesn't do justice to just how beautiful it is. Thank you so much. I know Roland and Rita are just going to LOVE it - they will probably both cry!
    Have a great weekend. ;)Sharyne

  9. Janette,
    For some reason I thought of you when I purchased my ticket through my 'Books & Nooks' club - to attend Kelly Doust's 'High Tea at the Victorian Room Book Launch' on Sunday 21st in Sydney.

    Are you going? I read her new book cover to cover and cannot wait to indulge in gourmet sandwiches, champagne and sweets! I have advertised on my blog for a girl-date (attending High Tea is not really Paul's cup of tea) - I thought you would probably be going, I know how you also love, beauty, vintage and style. If you are going perhaps we could say hi over a canape?!? Should be a lovely afternoon of grace and style and decorum.

    I always enjoy perusing your blog and catching up on your successes - well done! Hope your little man is adjusting to little school - hope mum is coping with that too.
