Still had time to find lots of great stuff. One of my favorite booths was Carolyn Westbrook Home. How they managed to set up such a gorgeous setting in the middle of a field, I'll never know.<br /></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SOPkMWV--_I/AAAAAAAADuY/OjatSOrV7Xg/s1600-h/***Round+Top+2+-+01.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252292491251481586" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SOPkMWV--_I/AAAAAAAADuY/OjatSOrV7Xg/s800/***Round+Top+2+-+01.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 477px; height: 712px;" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SOPkMhWd0WI/AAAAAAAADug/JXrHtjvzLRg/s1600-h/***Round+Top+2+-+05.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252292494206292322" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SOPkMhWd0WI/AAAAAAAADug/JXrHtjvzLRg/s800/***Round+Top+2+-+05.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 505px; height: 754px;" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SOPkMpEEgKI/AAAAAAAADuo/2p4Gl6BPcBQ/s1600-h/***Round+Top+2+-+10.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252292496276619426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SOPkMpEEgKI/AAAAAAAADuo/2p4Gl6BPcBQ/s800/***Round+Top+2+-+10.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SOPkMoRLZbI/AAAAAAAADuw/WcNTkMHyvck/s1600-h/***Round+Top+2+-+11.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252292496063161778" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SOPkMoRLZbI/AAAAAAAADuw/WcNTkMHyvck/s800/***Round+Top+2+-+11.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 515px; height: 769px;" /></a>Love these party gowns!<br /></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SOPkiAiZLOI/AAAAAAAADu4/Vd0b-tI-Rr4/s1600-h/***Round+Top+2+-+09.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252292863355071714" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SOPkiAiZLOI/AAAAAAAADu4/Vd0b-tI-Rr4/s800/***Round+Top+2+-+09.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 487px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SOPkiERjqhI/AAAAAAAADvA/dbu7VM1wnME/s1600-h/***Round+Top+2+-+15.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252292864358197778" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/SOPkiERjqhI/AAAAAAAADvA/dbu7VM1wnME/s800/***Round+Top+2+-+15.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 608px; height: 405px;" /></a>I call this photo "The Cool Girls".

We had casually mentioned meeting, but didn't have anything specific set up. When I did find them, for some reason I decided to include myself in on their lunch. The worst part is, I had already had lunch! I only sat there and watched them eat. I swear I don't know what gets into me sometimes. So, Cheryl and Chris; I had lots of fun meeting you and I hope you don't think I am a total crazy.<br /></div>
