A PEEK INTO THE LOOKING GLASS
The gathering of women at Alice Lands was a diverse and interesting collection of distinct personalities, each special and wonderful. Like the individual items in the treasure box above, the grouping becomes more beautiful as the collage becomes complete.
Our hostess in Alice Lands greeted each of us with a smile. Lauren made all of us feel welcome and special. Let the tour begin!
There was a feast for the eyes at every turn. Lauren's home was fun and lively, filled with great displays of artists' creations and vintage collections.
A place of repose and relaxation, but does she ever rest....I think NOT!
So many treasures await Lauren's thoughtful and talented hands in the Den of Inspiration. How could anyone not be inspired in this room? Just think of all of the artful designs waiting to be completed!
Ulla and Donna...teacher...artists...friends
Nicol and Mary...new friends
Lauren and Sharon...kindred spirits.
Here we are the Eight Princesses of Alice Lands. Our day was filled with laughter, endless chatter, sweet treats, special gifts, and one extraordinary lady from France. Ooh la la Corey, thank you for making the journey to Alice Lands!

It totally surprised me to see Ulla in this post, we used to be neighbors and I just can't get used to seeing her around everywhere in creative blog-land. It's very cool.
That place looks wonderful!
