We even made the local newspaper!!And...the dear sweet charming Kristi Day of junkology.wordpress.com AND.... Anne Lorys, the famous photographer of Fionandtwig.blogspot.com and her charming friend Tom (also a brilliant photographer) graced us with their company. Kristi posted photos on her blog the very next day!!! please stop by her blog and see them. And Anne posted the most beautiful photos on her blog. So you really must go see. I'll show you a few here, but, please go see the rest.
Thank you Anne and Kristi!!! ya'll rock!!
