It's been a full week since my mini-blogger meet-up with
Roisin,
Solvi and
Anneke and I still can't believe what a lovely day I had - it really felt like we'd all known each other for ages! I'm sitting at home filled with the cold right now on a hot day so remembering last Saturday's fun is really cheering me up! One down side of how much fun we were all having though - nobody remembered to take many photos. You can see
Roisin's or
Anneke's post for a few more photos if you'd like - they're also much better than my terrible attempts at candid camera below.

We started off with brunch at Bills, where we were joined by Roisin's boyfriend Nick. The chat started straight away and didn't stop all day. We were soon joined by Anneke's boyfriend Dimitri and while we girls all headed off to Liberty, Nick and Dimitri went to a comic shop in Soho. After Liberty we got on the tube and headed east to explore
Kathryn's recommendation of the
Vintage Shop on Cheshire St. If you're in London and haven't been, you should really check it out. It was amazing - shelves and drawers just bursting with fabric! After a good wander round Brick Lane we headed to the Carpenter's Arms on Cheshire St for some much needed refreshments. Solvi's boyfriend Anders then joined us and we all headed back towards Soho to meet up with
Zoe. Zoe's was one of the first sewing blogs I started reading so I was really excited to meet her and she was as lovely as you'd imagine - and looking absolutely glowing in her pregnancy too! We went to
Brasserie Zedel for some food and more drinks and had such a great evening. I know I said it already but I still can't believe I'd never met any of these people before that day - we all got on so well it was like we were old friends. I'm so hoping I'll be able to make the
big August meet-up in London, who else is going?!
