Friday afternoon Ceekay @ Thinkin of Home and I had the thrill of getting to meet Mary @ Mary's Meanderings while she was here visiting her in-laws for the Thanksgiving Holiday. She and her husband came down from Colorado. I was so happy when she notified me that she was going to be in the area and possibly we could get to meet. We were able to get a time set up for Friday afternoon and Ceekay was able to join us. (In the above picture Ceekay is on the left and Mary is on the right.)
Mary and her husband have begun a new Ministry in Colorado. It was so interesting to hear how they were led to this new adventure. She is just as gorgeous and gracious as she is in her blog. They bought this wonderful huge old home and they're in the process of bringing it back to life. If you don't know either one of these ladies, then you definitely need to check out their blogs. They are both so creative and such truly lovely women. Ceekay and I both had the best time. It's always like you are meeting a very old friend when you get the chance to meet a fellow blogger.
As usual, whenever bloggers get together there are always gifts. I can't even begin to tell you how thrilled I was when I opened my beautiful gift bag and found this beautiful cloche. Isn't this the most wonderful cloche you have ever seen. MARY MADE THIS!!! I am so impressed. She took a candle holder and glued it to a beautiful little dish and then she took a glass container and attached the gorgeous finial and now I have the most fabulous cloche. I can't wait to decorate it for the upcoming "Holiday Cloche Party". Now does Mary know how to give the most perfect gifts in the whole world or what.
Mary thank you so much for making the time for us to get together. I had the best time and it was so wonderful to get to meet you in person. I really look forward to seeing you when you come back.
Hugs, Marty

Three lovely ladies who I have enjoyed getting to know so much! Can't wait to get back to AZ! The cloche Mary made is just stunning! Hugs, Cindy
Beautiful cloche.
Isn't it wonderful to get to meet in person!! Oh, that would be so much fun to get to meet all our blogging buddies. Glad you had a great visit.
Oh how what a fun visit, Marty! It is such a treat to meet in person, share information, and just plain have fun. If only we could do it with everyone...
Hope this finds you well and looking forward to the Christmas holidays. I am so behind in everything- it makes my head spin more than it has been doing just thinking what I'd like to get done, but probably won't this year. I guess "they" are right~ most accidents DO happen in the home!
hugs, Sue

hope you are all having a wonderful thaksgiving weekend...

Mary and I have met in person several times here in Colorado. You are right - she is the best. Glad Ceekay was able to join you. My prayers go out to her on Monday as she has another round of the 'nasties'. I would love to meet both you and Ceekay someday, as I enjoy your blogs so much. Have a great weekend. Sally
I agree with the others Marty - it's been a pleasure getting to know all three of you. You have always been one of my most faithful followers and that means alot to me.
What fun! What a great way to spend Thanksgiving weekend time! I love visiting all three of you via your blogs! Boy, Mary was ingenious with the handmade cloche! I love your idea of putting a faberge egg inside! God Bless! Lauralu :)
Happy Pink Saturday, Marty! Love the egg and I'm so glad you enjoyed your time with the girls! Enjoy a lovely weekend.
Blessings,
Sandi

How nice that you got to meet Mary, and Ceekay again. Isn't that just the most beautiful cloche? And you know it is one of a kind. Mary is very talented!..Christine
Marty, it is just so nice that you all were able to meet like this. I can't get over the fact that the world just keeps getting smaller and nicer thanks to blogging!
Best wishes, Natasha.
Marty we just got home from traveling back to Colorado. Checking emails and had to come over and say how very much I enjoyed our time together! Thank you so for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet me and then the wonderful surprise of getting to meet Ceekay too!! I think we would have talked for another 2 1/2 hours and never paused!! I felt like this is just a little taste of heaven - meeting other sisters in Christ! Looking forward to doing this again when we are down that way and going to your favorite shopping haunts!!!
Thank you friend! It was such a special treat for me!

I love your pretty egg in that cloche!! I think a cloche might be just the thing for my sweet shell ball you made me!! Love it!
Looks like you all had a great time! What beautiful ladies!
Love the cloche!
Hi Marty! It looks like the three of you had a great time! And I love your new cloche...so very you with the beautiful little egg! Have a wonderful week!...hugs...Debbie
I can't imagine three more sweeter ladies getting together for lunch. I'm so glad you were all able to meet up. What a wonderful way to start the holiday season. Beautiful cloche. Rosie
Looks like a fun time was had by all Marty! You're so lucky to have so many blog friends to meet with! The cloche was perfect for you! Blessings! Luanne
Hi Marty....
Oh YeSSS! I have been over to visit BOTH of these lovely ladies. I'm so glad you had a good time together. And, a CLOCHE! Isn't that right up your alley. And, it's lovely too.
WOW.....I don't think I knew you used to live in Bend. It's just the cutest little town, isn't it? We always go in October and we ALWAYS have wonderful weather. They just built a new Italian restaurant at the Old Mill District. It's soooo yummy! We'll go back there for sure.
Huggies and Lovies,
Spencer
How wonderful that you all got to meet and visit. I think that would really be so nice to do. Gives me something to think about with all the new sweet ladies I have met on here just through comments.
Happy Holidays

Isn't that just so much FUN meeting fellow bloggers?!
I must say.....those poinsettias on the ledge behind you guys.....well, they don't look too inspirational. Are they SILK? If they were fresh that would be sooooo much prettier.
The smiles on your faces makes up for them, though!
Oh that is so much fun!! yay for you- sounds like a great experience.
Look how cute you all are! :-) I am sooo jealous! Isn't it wonderful meeting our dear blogging friends?!
You all look great and so happy together! What precious memories with sweet blogger friends. :)
