The Great Midlands Bloggy Bunch . . .

I spent a fab afternoon yesterday in the company of a truly lovely bunch* of  fellow Midlands crafty bloggers. 

Jo, Sarah, Mel, Sarah, Deb et moi

 We gathered for lunch and proceeded to natter the day away, like we'd known each other for years.  
 





I love that our shared interests and love of all things crafty, turns strangers in to friends.




It was such fun & I thoroughly enjoyed it. 
A truly great way to spend a chilly autumnal Saturday.

Thanks lovelies**,

Sarah from The Faerie Factory
Sarah from Sarah's Pigeonhole
Mel from Mel Makes

Let's do it again soon . . .


Hope you've had a lovely weekend too,
'til next time
xoxo



* just what IS the collective noun applicable here - any suggestions ?

**That's one talented bunch, let me tell you . . . do hop over and have a wee peek at their lovely blogs too.



 ps. and thanks to the Hubby too, who held the fort, kept the pups away from the
 food (well, almost . .  right up to the point where Jerry-dog helped herself to the leftover loaf on the dining room table ), made the coffee and pretty much cleared everything up afterwards too.  He's a keeper : - )

  4. Thanks Gilly, I had a great time too - we were so busy chatting we didn't do any crafting. I ended up in Worcester High Street on the way home (don't ask!!) but I was listening to the radio and thinking about my great day out so it was all fine. You have a lovely husband even if he doesn't eat vegetables. Jo x

  12. Wonderful time was had by all - and I wish I could have joined in! And what a wonderful husband you have, sounds like great teamwork.
    I just pulled out my trusty thesaurus and instead of 'bunch' how about 'bouquet'
    that sounds very appropriate for you lovely ladies, or you could go for troop, group, band - the list is endless but I do like bouquet myself! have a great week Gilly, Hugs, Joy xo
