I think it's safe to say we got a lot of sewing done this weekend! I left yesterday feeling refreshed, happy, and inspired. So many wonderful and creative people all in one house! It was so nice to spend time with like-minded friends, each of us so different yet with so much in common. More to come this week, including a stop at Whipstitch, dinner with a few special visitors, and some yummy recipes.
Welcome to Bijou Lovely. This blog is named after my great grandmother, Bijou Lillian, who encouraged me to embrace all the lovely things that the world has to offer. I hope to provide you with inspiration for sewing, quilting, photography, design, and daily life here at Bijou Lovely! It's truly lovely to have you here.
It looks like you guys had such a nice time!!! :)

ReplyDeleteHolly, you are queen photographer. I think you should live with me. It could work. But I'll seriously have to start paying you for the updos.
