I got an email from Amy Powers late Saturday afternoon informing me that Lesley Austin of Small Meadow Press was staying with her this weekend and doing a local show and would I like to come over for dinner? Lesley and I had tried to meet up once before and it did not happen, so I was thrilled to get another chance ... even if Amy lives about 1 1/2 hours away and it was already around 5pm! So, I said yes and jumped in my car and headed out to her house. I am SO glad I did. Lesley is the most wonderful, gentle natured person I have ever meet. And of course, if you know Amy, you know how great she is as well!
We went to Whole Foods for dinner at their Cheese bar (best grilled cheese and salad I have had in a while!) and then bought some tarlettes and tiny cupcakes to bring back to Amy's to have with tea. We talked the night away and before I knew it, the clock said it was 11:30 and I had to head home. I had a wonderful time - and look forward to meeting up with them again in the future. I honestly felt like I have know the 2 of them for ages - I have known Amy for awhile, I see see her at local get together and stuff, but I was really happy to get a chance to know her better. I can't wait for her to invite me over again (hint hint!).
This is us at the cheese bar
Joel was our chef and quite entertaining!
Amy's house was such a delight to behold! She has this great old hand crafted doll house and little Jacky that lives there.
Hmmm... tea and tartlettes!
