Anyone fancy a little get-together ?
Something to look forward to in the Spring ?
In this wonderful crafty blogland of ours, we get to chat about and share little snippets of each other's lives, loves & pretty makes - cultivating and growing some lovely friendships along the way.
And don't you sometimes read a fellow blogger's post and think how much fun it would be to just meet up, have a natter, a cuppa (and cake, of course . . .) and craft the afternoon away, because you just know you'd enjoy it ?
Well, I've had the privilege of doing just that - and it was oh-so-much fun.
The lovely Jane who blogs over at Plain Jane, organized our last bloggy meet-up, and over a BYO picnic lunch at beautiful Shugborough (which you can read about HERE if you like), it was decided that the historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon should be the ideal venue for our next get-together.
Here on this Great British island of ours, it's pretty easy to get around and no place is really that far from any other - and Stratford is pretty much in the middle. Easy to get to by road or rail (the train station is literally a 5 minute walk from the town centre)
And if you're coming from a little further afield, bring a friend or your loved ones and make a weekend of it. There's lots to do in Stratford and if you'd like some ideas on what to do and where to stay, I'm happy to oblige - or pop over here to the Visit Stratford website.
So consider this your invitation . . .
Nothing fancy, just a fun, informal get-together of crafty bloggy peeps on

Oooooo Gilly! This looks like such fun. I'm going to chat to hubby and see if we can make it happen. I wish I had known about your trip to Shugborough - love that place and it's not too far. Stratford-Upon-Avon sounds wonderful and it's on our 'Places to Visit' list. I shall get back to you if it all works out - fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful, but unfortunately I will be in Holland on that date, maybe another time.
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds so much fun....
ReplyDeleteRosezeeta.
Oh I would love to but I suspect that it is just too far. I'll look into it. xxx
ReplyDeleteSounds like an exciting prospect & lots of fun. I'd love to do it but it might be too early in the year. I shall certainly check though x
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like lots of fun, and I know you'll get a great response from everyone! Too far for me, but someday I'll come overseas and visit you all one by one ;) Wendy
ReplyDeleteBoo boo! At least 5 hours by train or car each way. Definitely can't do it in a day! Ah well.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit far for me, Gilly, but I hope you get lots of takers. It would be a fabulous day, I'm sure! :o)
ReplyDeleteBlog meets are so much fun aren't they, I'm sure you will all have a lot of fun. I'm hoping to organise an Essex one as soon as I come out of hibernation xx
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish I could come and join you. How much fun would that be! It's just a bit too far for me plus I'll be in Sydney for my brother's 50th birthday! Who knows, maybe one day we'll get to meet Gilly.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to get together and meet blog friends. It sounds like it will be so much fun. Wish I didn't live so far away! Have a wonderful weekend.

Blogger gatherings are fun, and I hope you have a wonderful gathering at yours, Gilly. I just enjoyed seeing your poncho and love the color and shape of it. You should feel chuffed : ) I also want to thank you for the post you did on how not to be a no-reply blogger. I have spent hours researching the topic. Unfortunately my computer screens do not match up with the ones you so kindly and cleverly posted. Waaaaaa... I am blogging from a MacBook Pro laptop and have Google + . Your post offered a light at the end of the tunnel and I so appreciated the time you took to try to help fellow bloggers and am encouraged even if I still have not resolved my issue yet. If you have any further ideas for my situation my email is graciesaylor@aol.com. I hope you enjoyed your unexpected crafting day you mentioned several posts ago! xx
ReplyDeleteI would have come but I'll be at a 2 day workshop. Stratford will be perfect. I will enjoy seeing your photos and post after the event.
ReplyDeleteSounds brilliant - unfortunately I can't make it as going on holiday on 11th for a week. Have a great time xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea wish I could join you all but I will also be on a 2 day course. I hope that everyone who does go has a fabulous time and hopefully the rest of us can read all about it. Ali x
ReplyDeleteSounds like oodles of fun...but 'tis just a wee bit far for me.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, gutted I won't be able to make it :( it's right in the middle of a very busy time at work. I lived in Stratford back in 83 for a year and have such happy memoires of the place it would have be grand to visit again. hope you all have fun! Rae x
