Happy Monday everyone . . Hope you all had a great weekend . . . We did!!
We drove up to the Washington DC area on Thursday . .
~ ~ as my hubby had a meeting in D.C. on Friday.
So Kim, Mr. Savvy, and I took advantage of a little sightseeing . . .
~ ~ while my hubby had his meeting.
I believe it was the first day of the re-opening of the Washington Monument.
Kim and I took lots of pictures of the sights . .
And if you follow Kim on Instagram . . you can see what Mr. Savvy was holding in his hand.
After my hubby’s meeting we headed toward Frederick, Maryland . . to Sweet Clover . .
~ ~ however, it was closed as Cassie and company were setting up at Lucketts.
We then headed to the Lucketts area to visit Mary Alice (Chateau Chic) . . .
~ ~ and her lovely space at Rust and Feathers!
Mr. Housepitality and Mr. Savvy auditioning for the new “Green Acres” lead role!
(Please excuse the iPhone photos taken this day) !!
After a great time and shopping at Rust and Feathers . . .
~ ~ we met Mary Alice and her hubby for dinner.
Had a fabulous time! . . We actually met again the next evening for dinner . .
~ ~ we had too much fun the first night and needed to continue the second night too!
Whether it is going to a conference or meeting up at an event . .
~ ~ it is not about the actual event . .
It’s all about seeing “friends” !!
Me, Marian, and Kim
And sweet Kristen in her cute Sophia’s Decor apron . . who was a vendor at Lucketts . .
~ ~ I sneaked a photo op of the camera shy Kristen.
More to come on Lucketts tomorrow!…
Have a most wonderful day!…


I am so glad you’re having a great time….looking forward to seeing more!

Hello Shirley,
Sounds like you had a lot of fun. Luckett’s has been on my wish list for a few years…maybe next year I will even sign up as a vendor.

Sounds like you all had a grand time with your hubbies. It’s so nice to meet and make friends with fellow bloggers. Looking forward to the rest of your photos from Lucketts.

You’re right Shirley…it’s not about the event, it’s about meeting blog buds and it looks like you did that in spades! Lucketts looks like a fun place. It’s definitely on my bucket list, I went to Brimfield on Saturday (for the fifth time!). I’m addicted to that place, and if you haven’t been, it should be on YOUR bucket list ;).
