a lovely meetup:

May 20, 2010

you all remember cathie from ampersandity - she did a guest post last week with a collection of some lovely cabinets. i mentioned that i met her a few weeks ago and so i wanted to follow up on that :) i don't even remember how i came across cathie's blog, but i was so excited when i read that she was local in orange county. i immediately emailed her to chat and we decided to do a meet up! here are some pics i snapped of the tea shop we met up at:

we met at a lovely little place in costa mesa: milk + honey, dont you just love the name? it's a charming tea shop with succulents and a really sweet outdoor patio area. we chatted about blog-ish things and Jesus and life :) she treated me to a strawberry shaved ice, she is so sweet. (and i might add, i am totally obsessed with this japanese dessert as of late, its so good! i've taken nick to have shaved ice a dozen times since) cathie blogged about it here too!

meeting a blog friend is so much fun, cathie and i chatted for a couple hours and i felt like we had been long time friends. i totally encourage you to do a meet up if there are local bloggers in your area :)
