Day 1572: So much eye candy, ocular insulin shock!

  

CCC handrail, I phone photo

I know the nicest people!

 I had an invitation from Ann (aka Raquel Welsh)

to join she, Rose, TJ & Frances on Saturday to go to ...

 

I had heard about it years ago through artist/friend Sherry Goodloe, 

who attended for years but is now 

gallivanting all over the world house & pet-sitting. 

I was tempted to wear a tag that would say ...

"I know Sherry Goodloe" & get preferential treatment!

In the beautiful Carson Convention Center ...

I was warned to wear comfortable shoes and bring $!

 

I though I'd just look! But ...?

 

There were expert demos & "make & takes" too.

Even my weak spot, paper.

Every kind  & color  of supplies & tools.

And some new to me ... but I guess everyone needs a ...

"sparkle sweeper"?

Even some gag gifts and clever socks!

 

After all of that, we 5 went for a leisurely, delicious Italian meal,

followed by splitting two purely decadent desserts!

"Raquel" chauffeured us home in style,

& I have to admit I had an involuntary nap on the way home.

She promised that I didn't snore!

A great Saturday!

 

Thank you Ann, Rose, TJ & Frances!

A smile for Monday ...
