spring event

In the Details & Thank you so much!

This blackboard that you created says it all- I love reading each and every word that you shared...Showing how so many different women in many different seasons in their life....can come together, share a little something from their life....and in the end when combined makes for a beautiful piece of art.

You are awesome!

The Spring Event is about just that....women joining together to share....we are more alike than we are different. 

Happy Day.

I thought I would make this post the last Vintage Spring Sorbet post....and just share some details in pictures.

Just have to say, that you looked awesome!

Love these girls- Thanks Sandi and Ruth for being the "best-est" friends in the world.  Thanks for putting up with all my crazy silly ideas etc.  I feel blessed that in a world full of friends that I could have found....I'm lucky beyond words to have you.   Happy Day

I loved seeing how much fun you had at each class.

Thanks Becca, Adria and Sam- {also a big thanks to Sam for being our muscle and tec. guy}

The to die for smell of Flo's Cinnamon rolls- Thank you Heidi, Flo and girls.

I love receiving your emails about how you felt about the day- they mean more to me than you will ever know..... You are beautiful women.

Thank you Shannon, Becca, Paige, Jenn, Nicole, Sheila and Allison for all your help.

I would be amiss if I didn't give a great big thank you to Danny- from the start to the end he was my support.  Always helpful never complaining...truly.....I owe him big time.   Thanks "Bob" I love you.  

{Danny had fun picking up and chauffeuring Mindy, Griffin and Spencer from place to place.}

Also a big thank you to Steve {Sandi's Husband, who worked like crazy for us on Saturday} Thanks Steve you were awesome!

All we can say is- 

Our Joy comes from a feeling we now have a connection with you, we are forever connected in this small way because we shared this day together.  I believe we have choices....and we can make the choice to be happy ....we have seen in our lives the connection between gratitude and happiness.  We are grateful for you.

We give thanks in our prayers for that beautiful day.  Thank you , Thank you!

Until we meet again- Ruth, Teresa & Sandi

You were so cute- & visiting with Mindy Gledhill

 

Norma was voted the best "Vintage Spring Sorbet" style!   Norma you were so darling!

Yesterday I recived this email from Norma with the most awesome poem that she had written.

 

TO SHARE A DAY

 

Down the hill to a different world;

Let the magic flow,

Smiles on faces, tension eased;

A place that helps you know.

 

You are special, the world is yours,

There's wonder in the day,

Candy, ice cream, kites and flowers;

Presented in a brand new way.

 

Let go of your worries while you're here,

Let laughter flow like a stream;

Act a little silly, ride a bike,

Close your eyes and dream.

 

The music lifts your spirits,

The words embrace your heart;

Your soul has felt the wonder of the day,

And you're blessed as you depart.

Thank you Teresa, Sandi and Ruth

Okay, so she made me cry- thanks Norma...how sweet.

Look how cute you are. I'm loving all the sorbet colors I see.

I thought I would take a moment and show a little fashion from the Vintage Spring Event-  I had two outfits for the Event and couldn't decide which one to wear....my daughter gave me permission to wear them both...so... I did.  =)

Notice outfit #2?  If you did you got a prize...really.   Love Mindy's Dress.

Lots of colorful shoes could be found. 

Even little Ellie got dressed up.....she came with her Mom.  =)

Alisa, Kay, Flo, Monica, Trisha and Heidi- so pretty!

More cuteness 

Love the hat- Lovely ladies.

-Chilling in Style-

 

Even the men came in style- Awesome bow tie Spencer and Sam we loved the vest.

 

Shavonne, Mindy and Heather

{Monday after the event. Shavonnes little 3 year old boy...broke his femur bone....keep him in your prayers please.}

-Visiting with Mindy Gledhill-

As soon as Mindy finished her concert....everyone made a dash for the Table where MIndy's CD were- sweet.....I loved watching you with her.  Here are a couple photos.

Stations @ The Vintage Spring Sorbet-

Today's post will be about the different stations we had at the Vintage Spring Sorbet.

Name tags & Welcome-

Sandi made all the name tags and presented them at the sweet little welcome station seen below.

Welcome Leslie- so nice to finally meet you.  {we meet through my blog} 

Photo Booth-

We had several areas around the property for Photo opportunities.

This area... I believe was the most popular area for a "Photo"-

It made me smile seeing everyone getting in on the fun-  Here are a few pictures from around the area.

Kristy Falke's girls and friends.

Mindy and Spencer

The white bench was used a lot- Even Ellie and Eli got in on the action.

The Hanging frame and blackboard were a big hit- A little about the blackboard- we had each of the ladies cut a butterfly and then glue it to the board along with writing in one word.

The blackboard started off with the Butterfly quote a couple branches from my willow tree a couple banners and a little art work...the ladies added the rest.

Notice the cute name tag =)  Love reading everyone's word.

I would love to see your blackboard pictures. =)

Spencer Harrison and the girls-

The quilts made for a lovely backdrop too-

Joette, Tony, Hilary and Julie- read Julie's post about the Vintage Spring Sorbet here.

 

Water Station-

Ruth was in charge of this area- and oh, how wonderful she made it. Not only could you get a drink; you also could get a snow cone cup filled with candy.

Not only did she have the water station, but she was selling tea towels and aprons too.

Sorbet Station-

Wildest flavor- Bacon,Strawberry, banana, coconut surprise- only the brave dare taste.

Allison at the sorbet station- yum =)

Us, just playing around. 

More Vintage Spring Sorbet to come.....I told you I had lots to share.  =)

Happy Day

Where to Start.....

(Sandi, Mindy, me and Ruth}

There is so much I want to share, I truly don't know where to start.....With that being said....I think I will just go with the flow.

Mindy Gledhill added a touch of Vintage loveliness to our Event....What I like about Mindy is her endearing nature....the moment you meet her, you feel like you've know her forever- plus she is always doing kind things for other....check this out.  Talent, Beauty and kindness rolled into one.

Mindy's little guy  was such a trooper.

Spencer Harrison was Mindy's guitarist- he was adorable {do guys like to be called adorable?  I'm old, what do I know =} Well, anyway....he was a good sport putting up with all of us.   I have to say....He has mad guitar skills..Awesome!

We had several "Photo" opportunities around the event.....it was a blast to see what everyone was doing.

-All the babies at the Event- 

-Ride Spencer Ride-

-This is one of my favorite pictures of Mindy-

Mindy's music filled the air....I still hear it as I walk the property.  Sweet!  

Love this song she deicated to my Granddaughters-

Mindy Gledhill- I do adore from teresa andersen on Vimeo.

  Still more to come....get ready for lots of Vintage Spring Goodness!

 

 

 

"Spent But still Smiling"-

I have to say....the Vintage Spring Sorbet Event when way beyond our dreams- sweet happy day....and You are the ones that made the day perfect.  I honestly believe that as far as weather for that day....it was the best "weather day" of the year.   The power of 200 women praying. =)

 

It will take several posts to show you all the goodness- 

As of now....the tent is down...things are mostly cleaned up.....so, I thought I would start the process of telling you about the Spring Event.  

Starting with set up.

Sandi, Ruth, me and all the girls got an early start on Friday....

See these awesome kites?   Sandi and Ruth made the kites- Awesome!....We had a blast setting up this photo shoot area.

Danny and Sam were our muscle for the day....amazing help!  Thanks guys.

The girls baking up a storm in the kitchen.

Took some time for a little photo shoot in the garden-

Ellie's first Spring Event.  

Love this picture....you can just see in the girls faces and actions how hard they worked....love you girls. 

Heidi and family came in to work on their part...awesome.

Alisa, Heidi, Monica, Trish, Kay and Flo-{the Mom}

After most everything was ready to go, we took some time to just sit and relax down at the lake.

We had a wonderful sweet peaceful evening- Paige sang a song from Tangled while we lowered our wishing candles in the lake....sweet moment.

 

Then it was home to bed....because at the crack of dawn we were up....doing this....

and this.....

and this....

I feel so blessed to have such wonderful women like these in my life- many hands makes light work.

More on the Event later.

Happy Day

Why we have the Spring Event-

Many have asked why we have the Spring Event.   This is why.....for you, Mothers, daughters, sisters and friends.

 

Shannon and Friends-  These girls drove a combined 1250 miles to be  together at the Spring Event. Read their story here.    Some have drove from as far away as Texas to renew and rejoice in their friendship. {Becca & Allison.} And so many other stories just like theirs.

 We are inspired by . . . 

Women who love being mothers

Women who are happy, positive, and determined

Women who share their goodness, their light, and successes.

 

Tomorrow will be such a day...when women of all ages come together to enjoy life longs friendships, spend time with their daughters and Mothers.  Laugh, be silly...just have fun.  

Listen to and enjoy wonderful music- Thank you so much Mindy.  We are so doing the happy dance!

Come ready to share, connect, inspire, laugh.

See you tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow!

Oh, Sweet, Happy Day!
