Perfect

Perfect spots of color among natural surroundings...
Perfect Grand Entrance....
Perfect bling....
Perfect French Vanilla Latte feeling in Linda's WillowNest room.....
Perfect details, every last one tended to by the Queen herself. It was beautiful and inspiring, and we are so glad we were there. Cindy always does such an amazing presentation, wherever she goes, and this entire barn was gleaming under her careful touches. Marvelous job, Your Highness!

As expected, the turnout for the show was wonderful. It was delightful to see so many of our new friends... Cindy & Barry of course, and Joe (with no Jermonne), Robin, Isabelle & Lisa, Linda & Ludmil, and tho we didn't officially meet Donna & Diana of Annie, Fannie, & Abigail, we drooled over their displays both at the barn and at Monticello. Heather & Jim were there, too, hard at work when we arrived earlier than planned at 8 AM...but more on that later! (Along with some very cool shots we got after we left the Tarte show, and after some very successful thrifting & garage sale-ing, when we drove over to the coast.) ;0)

Added: Tracey emailed and asked me why I didn't share more photos of the Tarte show.... mostly because everything I shot Heather ALSO shot, and I didn't want to give away any of the stuff she'll be using in her article for Flea Market Style Magazine. Pissing off magazine contributing editors who happen to be friends is NOT a good thing! Even Cindy didn't share a lot of photos of her own event. This is why you have to BE THERE, girls!!!
