#SuffolkBloggerMeet October 2015

On Saturday I attended my first blogger event, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous! The event was set up by the wonderul Daisy of daisydaisyxxo.co.uk in Bury St Edmunds, which fortunalty for me it was is just up the road (Yay). The morning of the event Emily from emgrace.co.uk and I decided we'd meet up in Bury and go together, this eased my nerves when it came to walking through the door! 

The Suffolk Blogger Meet was held in a bar called LP in Bury St Edmunds town center, very close to The Arc shopping area. Location wise it was perfectly situated and I'm certainly going to go there for food when I'm next shopping in Bury. Back to the event....

The event consisted of stall holders and a selection of areas with little goodies for us to sample. The stall holders included, Yoohoo Mail, a monthly subscription box containing stunning stationery cards and decorative items. It turned out Gemma who owns the business is Daisy's mum. She is super talented and has a background in graphic design. I believe a website is going to launch soon so in the meantime you can follow Yoohoo on Twitter. 

Odylique (meaning 'Power of Nature'), is a company I knew little about until the event. The lady running the stall was very kind to tell us about the organic product line. I fell in love with the Lemon Butter Hand Smoothie and have been kicking myself for not buying some while I was there. Online I go.....

Charity Candles were also there and again a company I didn't know much about. Suffolk based Charity Candles gives £1 from each sale to charity. You simple say which of the selected charities you would like it to go to. They currently support EACH, The Royal British Legion, Teenage Cancer Trust and The Dogs Trust.

Ivy-Joan had the most amazing pieces of vintage homeware and fashion items for sale. Hayley does handmade items for that personal touch as well as stocking fashion lines Vero Moda, Blade and Rose as well as Sass & Belle. I'd certainly head to Hayley's website if you're after something special for Christmas, she has the most gorgeous baubles and decorations as well as the cutest cards! 

Now I must apologies for my poor photography. I stupidly didn't think to take my SLR. I therefore ended up taking photos on my iPhone 6s so I had something to show in my writeup...... 

I'll be back soon with details of what was in my goodie bag as well as the raffle prizes I won. The goodie bag alone is a whole post alone! 

All that's left to say is a massive thank you to Daisy for all her hard work and dedication in organising the Suffolk Blogger Meet. The photos really don't show you how much work she put into making this event fabulous. I've come away feeling like I've made friends with lovely bloggers and discovered so many new blogs to follow. i can't wait for the next event.....maybe some Christmas drinks ladies??
