| Some of the wonderful design books & resources from brought back from Design Bloggers Conference, March 6 – 8, 2016, in Atlanta, Georgia |
Today’s post is all about
sharing with you
inspiring designs
from
bloggers, designers and sponsors
from
this spring’s
Design Bloggers Conference!
Have you ever
hoped to meet someone “famous?”
Someone you admire and esteem
because
she or he creates such beautiful vignettes
and decorates with such panache?
A designer who creates
the
most beautiful bouquets
which cause your heart to skip a beat?
Whose work you’d love to
emulate
and recreate in your own home
and DO?!
While at conference, I was able to meet
blogger/author/photographer
Courtney Allison
of
French Country Cottage.
Courtney writes from her 1940’s era cottage in Northern California
sharing
beautifully set tables ready for a garden party,
tips on decorating
and
between redecorating projects in her home
she also finds time to bring
her readers wonderful recipes.
Her photographs and photography
are also inspiring
and take her readers off into blissful daydreams…
It was an honor
to finally meet Courtney Allison,
the person behind
the blog!
She is just as personable as comes across
in her posts!
Courtney shared blogging tips for writing one’s blogposts
and
essential information for working
with vendors.
Please stop by and visit her blog if you haven’t already.

many
designs for the fashion industry.

I spoke with Cynthia
when our sessions ended on Monday.
She was very gracious!
Then…
a bit jet lagged but elated
I sought out
Cynthia Rowley designs
at
Staples
while my husband looked for things needed for the next day’s
track meet at our high school.

more stories I heard from other
great designers
