Oh, Marie!

 
    Marie, Marie, Marie!

What can I say?

My time spent with old friends was just what I needed.

The last 5 months,  I've been spending time with the kids...

doing mom stuff & crafting very little.

I thought my bloggin' days were over & that "art events"

were a thing of the past for me.

But, I think Cassi has changed that.  :)

I had a wonderful time at her event...  visiting with old friend & meeting new.

Cassi's Danse Des Fleurs event was breath-taking!

Our first night was spent at the Marie Market Soiree.

Cassi asked me to assist with one of the make & takes...

So,  I spent the evening chatting with all the guest

as they created lovely hand mirrors.

 
The next day,  I enjoyed tea & scrumption desserts at a

cute little tea shop...  then later that evening, 

we dolled up for the Grand Ball.

We ate &drank...   and had a gay ol' time.
