Having a friend spend the weekend with you (and stay an extra night) with the sole purpose of supporting you and helping you cut, glue, sort, package, create, plan, dream, and organize; and chauffeuring you; and listening to (putting up with) the music that makes you happy…all the while always being supportive, never complaining, and simply making you feel good about yourself…and having a husband who keeps said friend and you fed and is the king of all things needing to be stamped with number/letter stamps and ink: the blessings that make up this moment right now…
my sacred life

It sounds like the perfect weekend, burns and all! Hurray for friends and hubbies!
Oh how I wish I could come to your show - it sounds like it's just going to be magical. I hope you have lots of pictures! I'm wishing you the best of everything possible next weekend!!
Beautiful post! I wish I was close enough to attend the show...
I always like your posts... but your photos are fabulous! do you use magic of some kind? do you take a million shots to get just a few incredible ones? I am in complete jealous awe...
Make sure you share pictures - it sounds like it's going to be amazing! I do think that weekends like that are the ones that make the best memories. Knowing that you've got people in your corner, and appreciating them, and them not even realising that it's as big a deal as it was! With food and music too!!!
yummy pieces as always...beautiful weekend to you too.
What a great post! Thanks for walking us through the numbers and for painting a picture of your days. Lovely! (and so great to be supported by friends and loved ones too!)
