Festivities long gone, appetizers eaten, cocktails drank, friendships made, loveliest of time spent. #sgbcTX
Y'all may have seen my post last week where I talked about #sgbcTX . I'm a member of a Southern Bloggin' group on FB. Texas, North Carolina and Mississippi ladies from the group decided to have meetups. I was in charge of the TX meet-up along with Ms. Addie. The event was held at one of my favorite Dallas restaurants The Rustic. I've mentioned before that The Rustic is owned by Pat Green and a few members of Free Range Concepts.
Now that I have my first meet-up under my belt, I'm excited to do more and meet more Texas/Dallas bloggers. Quite a few ladies signed up but as you can see only a few showed up and I ain't even mad about it. I really got to know the ladies and the blogs they blog at. Plus y'all know I can talk so, hey girl hey. Wait, that ain't even make no kind of sense. I can't wait to stay in contact with these ladies. We are plannin' on gettin' another larger meet-up/ event together for the end of summer/ beginnin' of fall. Of course it'll be before the start of football season. Who y'all think we are...
We spent hours gabbin' about everythin' under the sun. It's nice to feel like you have two new frans. How was your weekend? What y'all do? I also spent much time poolside yesterday. I've been toooo excited cause I was only out for a few hours and already started to get tan lines. Y'all know what that means: Summer in Texas is on it's way.
And a big thanks to Addie for all the pictures above
Looks like you had a fun time meeting some new friends. I miss the sweet tea!
ReplyDeleteHa, I have plenty to spare. And yes it was a fun time had by all

ReplyDeleteAnd I love, love, love your comment and lovely words. Thanks Alli. And yes we did
DeleteThat looks like an awesome place. I love the big letters.
ReplyDeleteMichelle F.
It was. Yes those letter are all over Dallas. It's spells big when you get inside. There are instructions at your feet but the goal is to social media yourself so others can see where you've been in Dallas. It's a Dallas thing.
DeleteIt's awesome to see fellow bloggers bond together as a community. Congratulations on successfully planning and hosting this event.
ReplyDeleteThank you thank you. Hopefully now that we have one under our belt we can do another one but have it bigger and nicer.
DeleteWow! What ana amazing setting...it looks like you guys had a lot of fun at your meetup! Isn't it wonderful to connect faces to the blogs we come to love. We had our NCMeetup this weekend and it was so much fun :D
ReplyDeleteI saw all the pics on Instagram. Looked like y'all had a fabulous time. Congrats
DeleteLooks like you had fun dear
ReplyDeleteI love that you got together with some bloggers and had a lunch. It's great to meet new people. That place looks like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteYes to everything
DeleteGlad to know that you had fun!! I really like the set up!!
ReplyDeleteAs do I. And I'm glad I had fun too.
DeleteI have never heard of this place before, sounds really nice and a fun place to hang out!
ReplyDeleteIt's a Dallas thing. Look 'em up if you are ever in the area.
Deletelol, so much fun & must do again! =)
ReplyDeleteOh yes ma'am we shall
DeleteLooks like you all had a great time. The restaurant looks awesome! I would be nice to meet some of the faces behind the blogs.
ReplyDeleteIt really is. It's even better to see they are as you imagined them
DeleteWe don't like to spend much time under the sun so we can't go on swimming even if we want to because of the heat this summer. Aw it looks like you had a really fun time together!
ReplyDeleteI did.
DeleteIt's nice that there is the blog meet up in your area and you got to meet some of the bloggers. You can really learn a lot from other bloggers too. I'm sure there will be more to come.
ReplyDeleteIt was and we are hoping to plan more and really get the word out. I left to full and that's what I loved the most. That and feelin' like I have two new friends. I keep excluding Addie cause I had already met and got to know her and already consider her a friend.
DeleteWhat a wonderful and a very productive weekend. I am now convinced that blogging can lead us to find more friends.
ReplyDeleteIt really can and I love that
DeleteI love meeting other bloggers. So fun to meet in real life and it looks like you had a great location to do this.
ReplyDeleteYes ma'am to it all
DeleteI love meeting bloggers. Some of them are my bestest buddies now. You guys picked a great place!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to meet new friends. I live close to a couple of bloggers and believe we'll meet sooner rather than later. :) I'm glad you had a nice time!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a really good time at your meetup! I hope you enjoy all of them! :)
ReplyDeleteI sure did
DeleteI'm in that same group :) But I haven't seen any meetups in VA yet :( This looks like a lot of fun, meeting other bloggers is so awesome & the friends you make.

ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! Wish I could have went. We had birthday parties and wedding stuff!! I still haven't been to the Rustic!
ReplyDeleteToo fun! I have so many friends that keep on telling me to check out Rustic. It looks like an awesome place.
ReplyDeleteOhh, you deff should check it out. It has become one of my favorite places in Dallas.
DeleteThat dress made you so pretty and I think you really had fun on that event.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you and yes we did
DeleteLooks like such a fun time!
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with the exterior of the restaurant. It's beautiful!
It's the best. Maybe cause it's also owned by Pat Green the county singer.
