Omigosh are you ready for this eye candy overload? I hope so!
There's a bevy of beauty bloggers to behold here... not to mention some incredibly colourful art installations... all mixed together with a cup of tea and cookies.
I bet you didn't know so many local ladies had awesome blogs eh? I was thrilled to be a part of this delightful meet-up, and if you don't recognise these sweet*hearts right away you can get to know them here:
Front seat: our host/artist: Michele Karch-Ackerman.
Yes, this was the breathtaking installation at the Peterborough Art Gallery that we got to meet up at.
Michele led us through her installation piece that honours the historical stories.memories.lives of unwed mothers who were hidden away by the Salvation Army - and separated from their 'illegitimate' children at birth.
We were each seated at our own vintage table setting to have tea and delicious sugar cookies made by Michele, and listened to her moving monologue about her own Grandmother's experience at these 'Army homes'.
Our table trio for tea time. Surrounded by one hundred baby sleepers Michele had sewn from vintage curtains.
And then... we all snapped! The photo-shoot marathon began - sporting vintage aprons (I sewed my own) and Polaroids for giggles.
Such a fun group to be a part of (my big baby belly waddling amongst all the feisty femmes!).
Yes.. there is still a limit to how may pictures you can pose for in one sitting (under bright lights and blasting heat vents!)... we may have begun to wilt.
We strutted ourselves outside for some fresh winter air... (Elycia wins for cutest kitty cat foot wear by the way).
Summer dresses and winter air meant shrieking and running back inside - after snagging just a few more fun shots (Jen wins for 'dreamy eyes'.. as usual!).
You'll likely be seeing many of these shots all over our blogs right now - it was such a fun get together for us. We should host P.town BlogHer I think.
This is a funky fabulous group of creative ladies,
Hope you go say 'hi' to them all!
Mel ;o)
