Rachel was a truly lovely and humble woman who took the time to talk with everyone who was there. We spoke about the Santa Monica store we visited last year and she told us how proud she is of this book
Rachel also gave a fantastic talk mentioning the possibilities of opening a shop in Notting Hill and how she would consider a supermarket line like she does with Target in the US so keep your fingers crossed!
We'd also arranged to meet the wonderful Tcakes who came armed with cupcakes for us from the newly opened Lola's Bakery! It was lovely to meet a fellow blogger and we all enjoyed a lovely meal chatting away I hope to do it again soon

ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed your shabby chic afternoon and cupcakes' evening!
Have a fantastic weekend :0
P.S.Miss green is done..phew! ;0
How fun! Lucky you!☺
ReplyDeletehow totally fabulous! I am so envious. I'd have loved to have met Rachel, but with a 3 year old rascal taking up all of my time, it wasn't possible. Still. Am loving her latest book, and ooh, fingers, eyes and toes crossed in hope that Shabby Chic may open here. How gorgeous would that be!
ReplyDeleteI've met several blog friends (I met one for the first time at my wedding, almost 5 years ago), and it's always wonderful to meet up. YOu already know so much about each other that it's like meeting up with an old friend.
Enjoy your weekend :o)
p.s, just loving your blog!
Oh yes my cup of tea, you and Kelly looked nice and relaxed, wish I could have been there x
ReplyDeleteGreat that you even had a chance to talk to her AND that she considers a supermarket shabby chic line in the UK. Now you are enjoying the book everybody's talking about I suppose, what is your opinion?

ReplyDeleteI don't mind the wind it's the damn rain that got me earlier. Can't hold an umbrella because of pushcahir, can't stand hoods so I think i'm going to have to get one of those sexy granny rain hats that tie under the chin ;).
Hope you're having a good weekend hun
