Was just heavenly!!
I arrived at Ashville airport on Wednesday night and shared a car to the hotel with these girls...
I was very happy...
Then we gathered up a few more girls and walked over to the Mellow Mushroom for dinner:
Then back to the hotel for some wine and night-night. I was so lucky to have Jessi for a roomate!!
The next day we walked into town to grab some coffee:
Earleen, Molly Cheryl and Jessi
We saw this sign and were happy to oblige...
Of course I would follow Earleen anywhere for some good shopping!
And we are all happy owners of new shoes from Tops:
Back row l-r: me, Molly, Andrea, Jessi, Kim, Cheryl
Front row l-r; Earleen, Cynthia, Annette
Back to the hotel to change for our evening of Opening Night and the Vendor Faire. Saw these beauties Molly and Andrea dressed to roll...
Hopped on the bus and sat next to these two teachers, Lori Oles and Dee Faust!
Arrived at the venue and caught up with my girlfriend Tiffany! She always makes me so happy!!
Found this pretty fairy angel Sherry.....
The decorationg was so clever....we were assigned Chapters for our tables:
Our first class was this brooch taught by Karla Nathan:
And this is the kit for the class taught by Lori Oles:
After crafting, shopping and eating, me and a few of my peeps went back to the hotel for some chocolate martini's and a book swap....more on that gorgeous thing in another post!
Friday we hopped on the bus and went here:
beautiful venue...
We had arrived:
Everything was so beautiful, ethereal and inviting...
My place at our table, full of treats...
Just look at the details!!
And just above our heads...
We could walk out and enjoy the views....
Or hang out in some lovely corner inside....
The classes were perfect and the day complete with dinner, martini's and smores by the outdoor fire pit!
Saturday was our tour day. We started out on the bus on a sunshiney day....
We went to the Biltmore Mansion and toured the house and lovely gardens....
We had lunch on the Estate, and Natasha was so excited to point out this beautiful strawberry tree!!!
Then we were off to Antler Village:
And my first stop was here:
Yes, the Biltmore Winery. But I wasn't alone...
Suzanne, me, Danielle, Heid, Meleen and Kana
And thanks to darling Amy Powers for turning me on to the states favorite non-alcholic beverage!
