I just returned from the
ShabbyLaneShops member retreat in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee!
It was wonderful to meet so many talented website owners and learn about their talents thru some very informative classes. The best part is we all became fast friends and had great fun! It was hard to leave those lovely ladies and fly home! I promised to share some pics--so here they are~
the massive Cabin Catherine rented for all of us
posing for our group pic--the SLS sisters and friends!
our nightly visitor,he was a BIG guy!
Bunny and Rita cook Italian sausage and sauce for us!
Bunny carted that sausage all the way from New York!
a day of shopping hitting the antique malls and flea markets!
Left to right---Lynn of The Vintage Nest, Carla of Blue Heron Studios, Rita of Tesorofino, Bunny of B.Catherine Designs, and Claudia of Antica
a drive up to the Smoky Mt national park--the redbud trees were gorgeous!
overlooking Gatlinburg Tenessee
I hope you enjoyed! This was my first time visiting this part of the country. Being from the Pacific Northwest, this was a long way from home. I will treasure the memories and the many friends I have made!
