Val D'argent

Ahh sheshh its over already! We had a fantastic 5 days together with Marion, Dijanne and Thelma.
We laughed alot, and bonded, the four of us from around the world gathered together bound by the common thread.
I met some wonderful people, some of the ladies from their blogs. Kristin La Flamme who by the way is a fantastic lady. Who by the way will have her own exhibition in Germany in December .... watch this space for more info on that. I actually recognized her from her daughter whom she had with her... that lovely red hair and BLUE BLUE eyes .. what a sweetie. Kristin I might just come to see your exhibition ... keep me informed so that I can let others know.
I also met Isobel who is from ireland but now living in france. Wow talk about a lovely soul she is so wonderful. She invited us back to her apartment she was renting in st croix aux mine and had some nibble and champagne for us. We laughed and joked and even had a lovely song sung to us by Marion... thanks Marion it was fantastic.
It was also nice to see some of Dijannes students from last year ... I remembered most of them and they also remembered me..
I also went to the shopping area and there I found Maggie Relph whom.. I of course I had to purchase a lovely piece of mudcloth .. will take a photo when it arrives.
Thanks Maggie and her hubby who incidently comes a town nearby in canada.. small world. Lawrence and wife from contented cat were there as well. A wonderful friend Elizabeth helped Lawrence out in the booth selling, she is a sweetheart as well.
I ran into alot of very nice people that I had met the previous year who it was lovely to see again, and met new friends as well. Phew well enough of that chatter for now, I will save more for another day...talk soon
