Happy little Garden Fairies

Le jardin 017 

This past weekend at Jenn Hayslip's home was over the top beautiful, just like she is.  Every inch of her home is swathed in gorgeousness.  She never missed a detail of making our visit the best it could be.

It was all such a pleasure, that this is how I felt all weekend, ready to burst with joy!

We weren't just treated to Jenn's graciousness, we were treated to a giant dollop of Southern Hospitality by her neighbors too. They offered up guest cottages for some of us to stay in.  Here is the view from our balcony.

Not a bad scene to wake up to each morning, huh?

You guys might have heard me gush a few times about Silverbella and how much I love going there? Well, of course, I love that event and always will, but this trip to Macon was even more special.   I always say that the best part of Silver Bella isn't the classes(but of course, they are interesting and its great to meet the talented bunch of instructors).  My favorite part of Silver Bella is the camaraderie, of meeting like minds and spending time with a group of women who feel the same way.

Jenn's classes were adorable, her home, the treats, the day trips, the limo, all of it was abso-freakin-lutely special.  But most of all, it was the time to just hang out and talk, bond, and laugh for hours that made this so remarkable.

Jenn never missed a detail, and provided for all of our needs in her own extraordinary way.  And I love details!  Her attention to our care and happiness created a magical time, where we could forget about "real life" and be silly, happy garden faires for a few days.

Thanks, Jenn, for bringing together such a delightful group for such a memorable weekend!

  4. What a perfect weekend to spend with. Beautiful home, views, event, and most of all meeting and spending time with beautiful people. What fun it must have been.
    Your worries while packing then must have dissolved the minute you arrived and saw what laid before you eyes. 🙂

  5. Karla..my not so nice friend(haha),
    I am so glad that I got to hang with you girls this weekend, you all were even NICER than I had imagined and I can’t wait to get to Silver Bella to be with y’all again. I will be posting later today so make sure to come see the “Prize winning puppies”!

  6. Karla – it was wonderful to meet you and all the other fleurs for the day. I will be posting as well, but linking out to everyone else for the good photos.
    Have a great week.

  7. Magical is definitely the correct word! I’m still feeling dreamy today… even though I’m back at work looking at a pile of papers that need to be filed. 🙂
    I had a great time hanging out with you & Carol in your guest cottage. Thanks for including me. Can’t wait to see you again.
    hugs, Joanna
