My girlfriends and I met up at a central location and rode in together to the event that was held in SE Washington, DC. And we had a blast! Not only was it good seeing and catching up with old friends and making a new one, the event was really nice. I’d spoken with Tempie, the hostess, a couple days prior to the event so meeting up with her was one of the first things on our agenda. Tempie was super nice and attentive! She made us feel right at home from the first few seconds upon entering the building. She even joined us for our Karaoke bit! Ok, the real story is, after we attempted to chicken-out of performing, she “encouraged” us to brave the crowd by volunteering to be the lead singer! *We ended up being “Sister Sledge and company”, jamming to “We are Family”!! We weren’t all that good but had such a good time up there, feeling like stars as cameras flashed. I’m still waiting (dreading!) to see us appear on a youtube video somewhere!

In addition to embarrassing, …uh, I mean performing our bit, we hit the vendors booths! Yeah! After visiting EACH and EVERY single booth, I ended up making a couple decent purchases; my favorite was this awesome sterling silver and turquoise bracelet from “Shopwize Treasure Chest” (www.shopwizetreasurechest.com). Denise, the owner, really knew how to make a sell!
I also found this gawgeous pair of earrings at the booth of Sabirah, Metal Jewelry Artist!
There were many other awesome vendors there; check out a sampling below:
Ms Takisha Robinson, Designer and Owner of "Many Treasures For You" was seriously working it out!

Ok, you get the picture...there were many more vendors but due to time constraints (and the arrival of my Thai dinner!), I guess you guys will have to attend the next event to see them all! lol!! Later ya'll!!!
