SO much fun at the Portland Bloggers meet-up!
The event was put on by Jenni of A Well-Crafted Party and Leave the Laundry for Later, with help from Sam of Sam Rosen. The event was held in the community room of the posh Atwater Place in Portland's South Waterfront district--thanks to the lovely Adi of Garden of Edlen for the space!
Here are some pics I was able to take in all the hullabaloo...

It was a cocktail party, not a brunch like the other events, so significant others were invited, too! My sweet husband came along and not only was a good sport but had a great time, himself!

Well, I haven't told you about the dress I made for the event yet (that post coming soon! Details and all, I promise!) so how about we do this in reverse order?
Lipstick: Radiant Poppy. Dress: DIY, post coming soon!
Oh, and the moral of the story? Look around for blogger groups in your area and really try to go to their events. You won't be sorry! I always feel really excited and positive when I get to talk to other bloggers. And if you're in Portland, of course... email Jenni for details, and I hope to see you at the next event in June!
awwww how fun!! i love blogger meetups!!
ReplyDeleteMe too, it's so awesome to meet other people like us!!
DeleteThis looks like such a good time, and the dress is gorgeous. Now I'm off to search for local blogger meet-ups in my town...
ReplyDeleteThanks! Do it, you'll love meeting other bloggers!
DeleteLoved that dress so much! I am so glad you and your hubby came. It was great meeting him and I was glad my husband was not the only man in the room!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Of course! It was fun to have the guys there too, and I think all five were great sports and found lots to talk about! ;)
DeleteYou are adorable! Looks like fun. I have a good DIY question for you ... How do you get your lipstick so perfect!! I am just starting to dive into bold lip colors, but I have somewhat thin lips and the color always falls off onto my skin a bit and it bugs me. I tried a clear lip liner, but maybe I just need a better one? Any tips would be fantastic. You always have such bright beautiful lips, I have lip envy :). And as always, your dress is stunning!
ReplyDeleteAaw, thanks! Hmm, I tend to favor long-lasting lipsticks, which I think are crisper by nature. If you want a really, really long lasting one (it's like a thick glaze/stain) try Revlon ColorStay in the liquid--I can't imagine it ever spreading! It doesn't come in tons of bright colors, though, but I bet there are others that do! I've also heard that the MAC lipstick base is amazing and makes any lipstick work like a long-lasting one.
DeleteThis looks like it was so fun! I should try to go to the next one
ReplyDeletePlease, please do! It would be great to meet you, and have more sewing bloggers!
DeleteWish I could also come but I'm so far away :(
DeleteI LOVE your blog! Great DIY ideas. And this dress is beautiful! Looks like a fun meet-up!

DeleteYour husband is a good sport! We had other plans so I couldn't make it, but there is no way I would have been able to drag my husband there.
ReplyDeleteMost of the ladies didn't bring their hubbies; it was still 80% women! Definitely come next time! =)

I'm so glad you were able to go and meet with some other local bloggers. It is always nice to meet in "real" life when you can. The pictures you took were very good and you made such a lovely outfit. I am one of your new followers, and a new sewing enthuasist so I enjoy your blog a lot.
