Did you know I’m kinda obsessed with Terrariums?
Well I am.
There’s a local floral shoppe named Amelia’s that I LOVE to visit, and when I found out they were hosting their first-ever Terrarium building class I signed up right away! I even turned my blog post about my new, pretty Terrarium into a DIY post.
Then Amelia’s hosted a second Terrarium class, and of course I signed up for that!
And then I had the genius idea to host my next bloggy/twitter meet-up at Amelia’s. I asked Christina, the owner, how she’s feel about that ~ and lucky for all of us she said YES! :]
That’s Liz up there in the yellow cardigan. She helps teach the classes, and she’s so sweet & adorable and I secretly want to be her friend.
I’ve hosted a few bloggy/twitter meet-ups before. Mostly local ones here in Minneapolis, where I live, but I even planned one in our home state of Michigan for Christmas 2010. And I’ve BEEN to other meet-ups. I just love meeting my online friends in real life. And actually — pretty much all of my in real life friends here in Minneapolis were first met online. Yeow! Isn’t the internet fabulous?! ;]
Here are the details on the class:
Amelia’s Flower & Garden Shoppe ~ Sunday, October 2nd from 2pm – 4pm
910 W. 36th St. | Minneapolis, MN 55410 | 612.208.1205 | Google Map directions
It’s $20 for the 2-hour class, and that price includes all materials you’ll need to make & bring home your own Terrarium. Plus, they’ll have a cheese & wine tray out. Yum!
To RSVP: please send me an email [gussy AT gussysews DOT com] by September 27th {Tuesday} with how many friends you’ll be bringing! Maybe collaborate with your friends so you don’t double or triple book your reservation? hah.
I’d LOVE to meet you — hope to see you in just a few weeks, October 2nd!
