Saturday night we were able to go to a party with the Barn House boys and Queene of Tarte. It was quite the experience for me since many of the parties I currently attend include balloons and scary clowns and someone under the age of six normally throwing up on me...
After a short car ride with 7 of us packed in...
Hi Jeanne and Rebekah!
Jackie.. who if I haven't mentioned was the best roomie ever and so sweet...
and the beautiful Brooke... Who is also a very talented jewelry maker .
We arrived en masse all purdied up..
Entering there was this cool vibe
and great displays.
The tables were covered in burlap with bandanna's for napkins.
a chocolate fountain
a band
and look at thie cooooollll sign we all wanted to steal made of burlap and transfer paper. Tara agreed that she and I would steal it and then split it and she'd have the Wel part.. I guess you know which part I was stuck with...
and these clever favors!.. Brilliant! The front and back of an old book cover bound with binder rings..
That were made into autograph books. I have to admit I could not shut up about them.
It was cool with a beautiful view and a s'more bar..
Drinks were chilling..
The bar was busy...
And Tara was contemplating stealing her half of the sign...can't you just see it in her eyes...?
Rebekah was the cutest thing EVER..
And this is the fabulous Miss Kimberly Taylor.. A.k.a Mimi Charmante
A girl who is so fun, friendly and a fantastic and talented photographer. She took on of the best pictures of me I have ever seen (Aaammmmiiee.. what ya lookin' at?).
It's my new favorite.
The inside of Chaps was just as cool as the outside too...
Thanks girls for putting up with my endless gushing the last few days. I am so glad I could share my trip with you. And I have to admit.. when I looked at my pictures I thought.. I could get three posts out of this easy.. You can't blame a girl for trying! I promise we'll get back to normal everyday asap!
