There has been much going on behind the scenes here at 11 Magnolia Lane and our wheels have been turning!
One thing we’ve discussed is that we love interacting with our readers and we’ve been thinking about ways to do more of it. We also had such a blast at the Haven conference hanging out with other “like-minded” women that we have been kicking around ways to hang out with you all, too. We love the idea of gathering “like-minded” women who like shopping, antiquing, eating, drinking and socializing–you know, all those fun things! So we thought why not plan something–we’ll handle all the details– invite our readers, go somewhere fun, have them bring their friends and we’ll all make a “Girls’ Weekend” out of it?
So, we’d really like to hear your thoughts on this today. Would you mind taking a quick minute and filling out our very short survey? To say a big THANK YOU we are giving away a beautiful gold monogram so you can make a pillow just like the pretty pink one Christy made (in picture above and below).
All you have to do is take our survey at the end of this post and you will be entered to win a customized gold fabric monogram, and we’ve included some bonus entries as well.
We’re considering places like Savannah {Not sure? See Christy’s post on the Savannah Home & Garden Tour here, the Savannah Book Festival here, or you can read more about my visit to her house in the Savannah area here}. Since Christy is currently a local she knows all the great places to shop, eat, and drink, so it’s sure to be a great time!
We’re also considering planning a “Girls’ Weekend Getaway” on the outskirts of Washington DC. We’re hoping to tie it into a visit to the Luckett’s General Store {home of the famous Lucketts Antique Fair}, you can read all about that event here, and we have some other fun ideas about chalk painting workshops and some other “girls” events we’d tie in as well.
To share your much-valued feedback with us and be entered to win a gorgeous gold personalized monogram, you can enter our Rafflecopter giveaway below. And, please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section–we’d really like to hear them!
Thanks for stopping by–
Savannah is my choice. I live here and know there is a little bit of EVERYTHING for EVERYONE here! Plus, its easy to get to and get around in. Y ‘all come on down!
I think this is a GREAT idea. I feel like so many of these girls are long lost friends,, refreshing to see, while we may live in different parts of the country, we can have the same taste in décor, frugalness, creativity. The opportunity to come together as a group would be so much fun.
Oh Savannah! And the chance to hang with you guys! SIGN ME UP!!!!!!!!
I would love to go to Savannah and meet up with you ladies for a girls weekend! Sounds wonderful
A girls weekend sounds so nice I just live too far away. It would be nice to spend some time in the Florida Keys.
What a great idea. I’d love to see you and Luckett’s!
Girls getaway weekend is a fabulous idea! Especially if it involves the 11 Magnolia Lane girls! I vote Charlotte, NC!
I love the idea of doing a weekend in Savannah! I’m local, however I think Charleston, SC would be great also.
I live far away in Vermont, so it’s be hard for me to go. Sounds like fun though!
Would love to getaway with blog friends. I hated that I missed Haven this year. Love Savannah and always up for going back! And, not far for me since I am in Atlanta.
Sounds like so much fun and I would love to meet y’all!!
Fabulous idea!!!! I would like to travel to any of the destinations listed in the survey! I love all the places you all shop and would really like the chance to see them in person with someone who knows where to go. This is my idea of a great girls weekend!!
What a fun idea!! Can’t wait to hear more details!
Great idea! I think Charleston, NC could be one of the destinations as well.
What a fabulous idea! I voted for DC and Luckett’s weekend. A paint workshop and a day of shopping is at the top of my list.
I would love to travel to a getaway to Charleston, South Carolina. Beautiful city with so much to see and so many great places to eat. 🙂
any location would be a great time! a girls getaway sounds awesome!!
Girls Getaway.. no need to say anything more. LOVE girl time.
Would love for it to be in Charleston, SC! Not that i would mind Savannah, though!
would love to meet up with all my “followed” friends! anywhere in the southeast would make the journey doable!
Savannah! I live here too!
