I echo what Mary said. You and hubs were the BEST hosts. We felt very special to be treated so royally. Many, many thanks. And hugs to all the kitties. xo

I third what Mary said. I had a blast!!!!

It was a pleasure to meet Ann and Steve and enjoy their beautiful home, yummy food, and awesome signature cocktail!

Thanks for giving us an occasion to dress up! It was FAB to see sequins, lace, silks, fishnets, metallics, pearls, and even white jeans!

It was a splendid evening!

Truly a fabulous evening, Ann! I also enjoyed chatting with you and Steve along with kitty playtime afterwards ^^ Thank you again for hosting.

Ann, it was fantastic. Many thanks to you and Steve for all your hard work in organizing this fabulous party.
Your bikes are AWESOME!!!!

And also? I want to have lavender flowers floating in all my cocktails from now on...

Ladies, the pleasure was all ours Mi casa es su casa! Steve really enjoyed himself and getting to meet all of you, I mean, come on...what man in his right mind wouldn't? I think he "gets" why I spend time on the forum now!
Angie, you ARE royalty...duh!
Mary, glad to be a part of your fab birthday weekend and you SHOULD have lavender flowers in all your cocktails!
Deb, you were a lifesaver at the party, seriously. BFFs!
AJ, you and your sister...I just wanna squeeze you!
Aida, my polish and feline sister, separated at birth (and a billion years, lol). My chilluns loved you, no surprise. Come back soon!
Sveta, you are just a doll and I'm soooo happy you could make it down for SSIF. A weekend for the books, no?

I'm planning on doing a big post this weekend to share recipes and such, and I know Greg has put together a DropBox for photos so we can all share with each other and those folks who couldn't make it. Be patient fabbers, we're just now recovering from the weekend! (or maybe it's just me ;-))

I'm chiming in late, but I too want to thank you and Steve again for a brilliant evening. Thank you so much Ann. You guys are the perfect hosts and spoiled us rotten with all the super delicious food, the Fab napkings, and our very own signature cocktail. It was such a treat to dress up for the party, see all the other ladies in their magnificent outfits (your blue dress was out of this world stunning), and get to mingle, chat and laugh all evening long. Plus it was super fun to check out your bikes and twin closets:-)

Inge, you are exceedingly gracious and a joy to know! For those who don't know me, I'm not prone to unwarranted flattery. I mean every word, Inge. You and Angie (and Greg, of course have built this fab community of supportive women who happen to have fashion in common, such that we were able to come together this weekend and make lasting friendships. I hope to get a chance to see you before you head back to Belgium, though I know your schedule must be crazy!

Oh Ann, thank you so much for your extremely kind and generous words_

And yes, I do hope we can meet again before I go home!
