blog out loud sf>>

Rebecca and me, raring to get the party started...
This past Sunday, fellow blogger Rebecca Orlov {loving.living.small and Apartment Therapy L.A.} and I took our Blog Out Loud, blogging symposium to San Francisco. The venue,BellJar, was simply, stunning. If you haven't already been there, git on in there.
We had a completely stellar and generous panel {see below photos} filled with such great experiences and ideas to share. The audience, was as much a part of the evening as anything. Great input and questions. It was fun to meet, in person, readers and fellow bloggers~ who added to the night through their great dialogue.
We began the morning by having a get together at the de Young museum cafe {a little shout out to the staff there, who were incredibly helpful and cheerful}
In the fore ground, my two oldest friends, Allyson and Analisa represented the 'non-blogger' contingency and my personal support system. {thank you, you two!!}
Lynn Goldfinger- Abram, telling the group some great little story.
and then on to BellJar....
pre-event shopping takes place among the gorgeous little things.
our audio video guy, Matt, gettin' set.
Nick filled in as bar tender to the 3buck.
wow. we had some serious blog out loud booty for the first 20 guests. All of this talented work came from etsy/bloggers who donated their work: paper pastries, we collective, tiny pine press, ink and wit, erin vale design, ferm living {also a panel member}
thank you Fleurt design for you overly generous floral art.
old friend, SF landscape designer, blogger of garden rooms, Robyn Pope, contributed this beautiful, organic gathering {this was one of two!I know I keep saying this but, the generosity was unbelievable}
and so we begin...
Our talented group of bloggers from Left, Cassandra LaValle of coco+kelley, Christiana Coop of Ferm living/clever spaces, Lynn Goldfinger-Abram of Paris Hotel Boutique, Susannah Murdock of Petunia Faced Girl, Sasha Wingate of BellJar, Anne Sage of The City Sage

Petunia faced girl blogger, Susannah Murdock chats it up {the real petunia faced girl made a brief cameo}

Megan,
You looked amazing! It's incrediable how many people attended and OMG I want to move into that store. Why can't we have one in LA? It makes me want to move. It's incredialbe the support your group received by all the bloggers and donations. It was beautiful. Just goes to show how many incrediable, talented, and generous people are out there. I'm waiting for LA because I so desperately need all your help. LOL! It's getting easier. Congrats.

Megs,
It looks great, so proud of you. I look forward to the next one soon and hopefully I will be settled in my new digs by then with some free time to attend and play. I loved seeing you and Nick, always nice to see good old friends in a new setting. Hope to see you in the near near future!
Much love,

What a great event! It was wonderful to meet you, however fleetingly. You had a lot going on. It was a really generous and empowering thing to do. And Nick was a very suave bartender. He should have had a tip jar...

As a side note, do you happen to know who makes the black/colorful wallpaper with the birds? I've been dying to know the source for months now!
