That time I met Sherry and John
November 13, 2012
If you’re a blogger, or read shelter blogs with any sort of regularity I’m sure you’ve heard John and Sherry Petersik (I admit it – I had to check how their last name was spelled – Doh!) of Young House Love, and I’m sure you’ve heard that they’ve written a wee little book that was recently released. As tends to happen when one releases a book they’ve embarked on a rather exhausting book tour of 21+ cities, and Toronto just happened to be one of them, and the only Canadian stop of their whirlwind tour.
Last evening on a dark and rainy night I made my way across town to the West Elm store for the signing and arrived to find quite a line winding it way around the store, and while it took about 2 hours for me to get to the front of the line it was time well spent as I got to ogle West Elm’s lovely wares. Below are some pictures of the event – they were all taken with my phone so I apologise in advance for some of the blurry shots.

| I'm in love with this gold cutlery |

| What's not to love about these glasses? |
 |
| Mason Jar cocktail shaker? Yes Please! |

| I really like this Branch Floor lamp. I would LOVE it if it came in Gold. |

| Eeeps! Getting close! |

| Sigh - the record of my brush with blogging superstars, and it's blurry :( |

Sounds like a super fun night!
ReplyDeleteI love that lamp too.
I was there too! Too bad we didnt recognize each other, I was at the front of the line and could have squeezed you in ;)

Aww - that's sweet of you :) I have to say being near the back of the line had it's benefits - I got to lust after quite a few of the things in store :)

ReplyDeleteI've never heard of them buy heading to check out their blog right now - thank you for sharing, Michelle;-)
ReplyDeleteYou could gild that branch lamp really easily, though I realize you probably don't want to pay that much for something you have to DIY!
ReplyDeleteThe sales guy at West Elm suggested that too, but all I saw was more more money for a lamp than I'd ever want to spend.
