Bloggers Night out at DownEast

This past Wednesday I had the chance to participate in a bloggers night out!  I LOVE these events!

Meeting other writers and chatting about "blog world" and how they make it work for THEM... is SO refreshing!

People who GET what you're going through...not just through your computer, but in PERSON!

It was just TONS of fun.

me, Kami, and Jen

There was LOTS of yummy food provided from the Corner Bakery and Cafe... LOVE that place!

As well as fun prizes given away!

(No... I didn't score the Pottery Barn lounge rocking chair. arrrhg)

but I DID score a free sandwich at Noodles and Company! yesssssss...even better! LOL

Do you guys shop at DownEast?

I always pop in from time to time.

They have TONS of Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, and other name brand items at SUPER discounted prices :)

I love it!  Definitely worth checkin' out.

 I was in LOVE with this bed.  Aren't the details just to DIE for!?

If you're not sure... yes... they are. LOL

This was the store I actually found Aubrielle's cute Pottery Barn pillow cover for her bed, in.

it's actually part of a crib set. lol... but it works :)

I thought this nightstand was really sweet too, for a little girls' room.

It was a bit too low, for me, but the details and curves were right on.

There were a LOT of pieces that I LOVED and Ooo'ed and Ahhh'ed at... but there was ONE "mister, mister" that I literally couldn't take my eyes off of, all night.

Wanna meet him?...

K... but ONLY if you promise not to take him... lol

***sigh***

I NEEED HIM! (sorry hubs)

But he would be PERFECT for our basement.  To put our TV that we don't actually own yet, on!

And OH THE STORAGE!!!

It just made me happy.

WAY out of my price range at about $600 bucks... but maybe it will get marked down a ton, and still be there, after I hit the lottery???

here's hopin'

I DID walk away with this fabulously sleek mirror from Pottery Barn.

It was originally a bit over $330... and I snagged it for about $78 and some change!

cha-ching!

He's gonna make friends with my new pet zebra, I think :)  He's pretty lonely, and feeling out of place.

I'm excited for them to meet up... I hope they get along... because this guy weighs about 100lbs, and I REALLY don't want to haul it back to the store to return it. LOL

Anyway... I had a blast, and I'm SO GLAD that I FINALLY was able to meet these great gals, WHILST shoppin'! What's better than THAT!?

:)

Ashlee, Tawni, Melissa, Jen, Kami, Me, Dianna

And all you beautiful, talented ladies... for the amazing company!
