rachel aswell's book signing at country roads...

for me, it was a dream come true...rachel ashwell purchased "treasures" from my booth on sunday at the book signing at country roads...
unfortunately, i could not be there as i was not feeling well, but you can only imagine how excited i was when country roads called and said she was purchasing MY TREASURES! i'm very flattered that she liked my "stuff"...
thanks to sue, bryce, katie, tim and the rest of the gang for putting on a lovely event {i saw some of the pictures} and all the hard work you did...
you're the best!
