Charlotte Bloggers Meet-Up at High Cotton


A couple of weeks ago, I attended a fun blogger event and am finally getting around to sharing pictures from the night.  It was held at High Cotton Home Company, a new furniture & accessory store at 2137 South Blvd. in Charlotte.  I had the chance to meet some new-to-me bloggers and finally put "a face with a blog" for others.




 
Bloggers pictured above are Mr. Goodwill Hunting, Eat Drink & Decorate, SuperChyc, and yours truly :)






I had such a great time catching up with Rashon, "Mr. Goodwill Hunting" himself.  He has such a warm personality, and it was fun to hear about all of the exciting things he has on the horizon.  (He's hosting a huge "I <3 Thrifting" day on July 9th in cities across the country.  Read all of the details here.)





This is Melissa Lamkin, a super fun stylist in Charlotte that I've had the pleasure of meeting before.  (And, some spooky shadow . . . )





I also got to see my blog buds, Aleigh of Wow! Goodwill and Rachel of Rachel Sutherland Communications (she did a great job of organizing the event!).  Both of them were adament that their pictures not appear on the blog :)  So, for now, they will remain undercover. . . (kind of).  Can you spot them in this picture?




 

This is Rodney Hines, owner of High Cotton.  He was a fun host and I enjoyed hearing about his plans for the store.  They're going to have a fun mix of new and refurbished pieces.  (He's even hiring a couple of "pickers" to scout out unique pieces for the shop--sounds like a fun job to me!)


 
Of course, I had to sneak away to take some pictures of the store while I was there.  Here are some of my favorite things I saw:










This was my favorite vignette--tufted headboard, bedding, chair, all of it!















Makes me want to spray a simple mirror in this bright coral shade. . . .




 
Thanks High Cotton and all of the Charlotte bloggers who attended for such a fun night!
