back in French Lique....

Candy and I are back, safe and sound and no worse for the wear... Candy back in Wimberley and me, Dixie, back in French Lique... Here are a few photos from Theresa Cano's Blog Party, where we had a great time, met some new people and...
hung out with the Trash Talker herself... Trash Talkin' Deb!  (and yes... she is really-really short for all her big vibrato!).  Candy and I are about 5'7"... Theresa, in the middle background... about 5'5".... and Deb... I'd say she'd be about a foot short of a cornstalk... and not quite 5-feet tall... what a hoot this girl is!
Everyone brought some food with them to share and Theresa supplied the wine... Candy didn't hesitate to make herself right at home!
<3
...and this sweet girl, all the way from Atlanta, Georgia... had the most beautiful booth and the sweetest smile... but she didn't have any business cards... and I don't remember her name.  She had the cutest wine bottle cork candles (which you can see displayed here on the wine bottle top)... She gave us much inspiration to bring back home.  If any of you Georgia gals knows her name, share it with me so I can give her some credit!  Check out her piles of pillows in the background...
We had a great time, and came home with lots of treasures to show and a few good stories as well... wait till you read the one about meeting Emily Johnson of HGTV Design Star fame... and the photo opp gone wrong! But that will have to wait for another day... cause this old gal is tired and ready to put her feet up for a few hours...
down here in French Lique...
