MEMORABLE GUESTS

 Where Women Create
visited the Old Grey Mare yesterday

I am still processing the entire experience.
Jo and Ryne are simply wonderful. I need not search
for additional adjectives.

Here sits Jo, so very pretty, and she is just kickin' back in MY 
easy chair. C'mon how cool is that!


I tried to snap some shots without getting in
the way but Ryne is a blur of motion and I got this..
The only other clear one is this:
I warned them it was a tight space.
I am actually standing outside the room!


I have searched for words to describe 
this experience but all I really want to express is
my gratitude and my joy.

Jo is admirable for many reasons, but 
what became most clear to me
 as the hours progressed, was that she is a true
champion of women. 

It is not just about spaces, or magazines, or art,
those things we all share and love,
it is about the people on both sides of the camera.
Thank you Jo and Ryne.
Yesterday will always be a precious memory for me.

Suzan

What an amazing day that must have been. I think I would have been too overwhelmed to even speak! Do you know which issue you will be featured in yet?

Suzan...I am so happy for you. I can just feel the leftover happiness in your words! I knew your space would be awesome (because I've seen how great it is) and I knew that Jo would love you as much as I do. Now where have I heard that before???? I am beside myself imagining you in the days before, and then imagining you last night when it was all over. I am so thankful to you for sharing the experience with us, because it has put my mind at ease so much. I am writing down a list of things I want to ask when I call you in a day or two (after I've thought of all the things I want to ask you)hehe))
I think I am more excited for you than I am for me. Two people who have never had this experience before (I know Karla has been published a Bazillion times) have got to be so happy for each other!!!
big hugs

Oh my - so very well deserved.
I remember when I first "saw" your room on WBC and was so enthralled with it. I was not at all surprised to hear you had been selected to be featured and I have been wondering when they would get there. This experience may have rocked your world but just wait until the issue featuring you comes out - now that will be a debut!
Have you a lovely white dress Miss?

Susanne said...

It's going to be spectacular! So excited for you!

Geez Suzan I'm so happy for you!!! Your gorgoeus studio so absolutely belongs in Where women create!!!
Ah what an exiting day you must have had! :) I'm all excited too now he he

And thanks for coming over to visit me, I thought no one would find my new post after I changed my blog layout on Monday and someone my feed burner vanished and I had to burn a new one because I forgot my login name to feedburner.com grrr. I can see that the icon/avatar in your side bar has not refreshed once again and now you'll always see my Happy New Years pic there lol

Suzan!!!!!!Suuuuuuuuuzzzaaaaannnn!!! I am soooo excited for you!!! OK, now, I'll calm down and stop with the exclamation points but they are still here in my mind. A great big congratulations to you! Seriously, wow. wow. wow. I love your space and I know everyone who reads the magazine will love it. You've packed more "yowza!" and style into a small space that I've ever seen. I'm sending a big congratulatory hug from Nebraska!

Evi said...

Suzan, congratulations. You so deserve it !!!
Your studio is fabulous, warm and full of creative joy, and was ment to be in the magazine.
When will we get to buy the issue?
It is all so interesting to see the process. You don't want to miss a second, and yet not be in the way. They sound like really nice people.
So girl, take a bow, job well done!
Hugs, Evi
PS. Hope you are feeling better!!!!!!!!!! The little bears are adorable. My friend used to make litlle boo-boo bears for children. They remind me of them.

Romeo said...

Well heckfur - I didn't travel back far enough....have I really been hibernating that long?!? What a beautiful experience. I don't think there is anything that brings more joy than to spend time with people of kind hearts! Congrats to you, Howie and Justice!!! This is so wonderful! You did mention to Jo, that it's really Howie in charge of the studio, didn't mew???

Purrs!

Romeo
