That sounds like fun !
I wish we could attend, We will be in Michigan and that is my husbands birthday which we will be celebrating with his 100 year old mother.
I wish you the best time !
Oh how I wish I could be there and meet you both. Lucky are those who will be able to. Have fun and thank you for all of your wonderful posts and tips.
It looks a wonderful location, everything I imagine an American hotel to be. Should I win the UK lottery in the next week or two I’ll be on a plane out to join you. Have a great time and hopefully we can see some photos after the event.
What a sweet, sweet event that you have planned for your readers! I would love to attend, but will not be free to travel from FL to TN for the event that day. Thank you for the invitation and I hope that many will be able to attend.
What a fun event! I can hardly wait for the photos. Unfortunately I live too far away to join you all. By the way you look incredibly elegant. Wishing you a happy and peaceful week.
O how I wish, it would be an honor to meet you and Mr. Mickey! So nice of you to extend this invitation to your family of readers. Unfortunately I am not able to attend. Please share the excitement and pictures!
What a wonderful idea for a meet and greet! I wish I could attend but like other readers, I will have to be there in spirit. Best wishes from Wisconsin and have a wonderful time. Looking forward to any pictures from the event.
What a wonderful idea! The hotel looks like the perfect spot. Unfortunately, I also live far away – in ME – and won’t be able to attend. Enjoy and I look forward to the pics!
Susan, I would love to have accepted your kind invitation but distance is a beast and Australia so far away.
My best to both of you and I shall be with you in spirit.
Dear Susan, and Mr. Mickey,
What a fabulous idea, to greet and meet so many people that you have become blog friends with, but never met in person. Sometimes you have a general idea how a person is wired, by the way they respond to you.
Thank you for the invitation. I will not be able to attend, however, I will be with you in spirit.
On a side note, I love ❤️ this pic of you both. This is magazine cover worthy.
Hugs and smiles.
Hi Susan,
Thankyou to you and Mr Mickey for the invite, alas I am unable to attend as I live in the UK but I look forward to hearing about how the event went and any photos that follow. I hope you all have a brilliant time getting to know one another.
Thank you for the invitation, I really wish I could attend! And like Pauline, if I win the Portuguese lottery in a week or two I will certainly join you….
Have fun and we would love some pics of the event, please!

Reading these comments really brings home that you have followers all over the world. Or should I say, friends! Like others who don’t live in the States, I’m sorry I can’t be there. But what a wonderful chance for you to meet people you only known from their comments, and for them to meet you in person. Enjoy what I’m sure will be a wonderful event!
What a lovely idea—wish I would be able to attend and a getaway right now would be great. Looking forward to pictures, it’s sure to be a festive afternoon. I’d be very interested to see other bloggers you follow.
What a fantastic idea. While I will be in Brussels, I wish you a fun event and extend my sincere thanks for your many wonderful fashion ideas and packing tips. I lift my glass to you.
I am disappointed I cannot come to meet you. Attending a music festival in PA May 16. I enjoy your blog filled with tips to help me dress with confidence. Thank you!
So sorry I cannot attend. What a beautiful idea. I would love to meet you both, but Johnson City is too far away for me to come, although I am just across KY in the western end of that state. Please shower us with pictures.
What a wonderful idea, Susan! Wish I could attend! I’m usually in your area in October, when I visit a friend in the NC mountains. Please take pictures!
Thank you Susan for your kind invitation. I would love to meet you and Mr Mickey and spend more time in your beautiful part of the world! Sadly, you are too far from me here in Melbourne, Australia. but I wish you a wonderfull time at the event with your readers and friends.
Susan, thank you for your lovely invite to meet you and Mr. Mickey. So wish I could attend but a bit far to travel. Have a wonderful time and yes, post some pictures for us!
Thank you very much for this special invite! I’d love to take a trip that direction sometime, but it’s not likely for us this year. Enjoy and have a pleasant time!
What a wonderful idea! I am going to try! I am traveling now and some of the airlines will not let me look at ticket prices and schedules from a foreign IP address. But I will check when I get home. If I can do it, I would love to stop by and meet you and Mr. Mickey as well as some of your wonderful community of readers.
My husband and I will plan to attend as we live close enough to drive there for the day. Thank you for the invitation, we look forward to meeting both of you.
RSVP: I am so sorry that I won’t be able to attend! I would love to meet you both one day! Please post photos of the event! Enjoy your writing very much! Pamela Boling.
I would so love to make this work. Even though we will be not far from there at about that time, I can’t make it line up.
No doubt it will be a fun gathering!
Best to you and yours.
Oh how exciting! I will be there in spirit. Pictures please after the event. What a great idea.
No real description of this event…
It’s just an informal gathering. We will talk to each other and enjoy an appetizer.
Sending my regrets. Have fun & enjoy meeting your numerous blog followers.
Nice idea. As I am in Switzerland -?It is a bit far. Best wishes for the event.

Thank you, what a great idea. I wish I lived closer and could attend. I’m sure it will be a wonderful event.
Sounds like so much fun! Unfortunately we live too far away to attend.
I love your top in this photo with Mr. Mickey – it would be perfect for an event I’m going to. Would you please

My top isn’t from this year, but this one is very similar.
So perfect! Thanks, Susan.

Maybe it will be so successful that there will be another one in the future for those of us that miss this one.

Regrets, but it sounds amazing!
How delightful. Living in Florida prohibits me from going, but what a great opportunity to meet you both.
What a lovely invitation. Sadly, I won’t be able to attend. Enjoy!
Drat, I can’t make it! Please do it again sometime. I so enjoy your blog and hearing about Mr Mickey and your travels.

This is sure to be a lovely get-together! The Carnegie Hotel has a classic, casual elegance that makes it such an inviting venue. Count me in!
Hey, Susan, what are you planning to wear?? : )
Please bring Jason too! I was so hoping you all would join us. I’m planning to wear a silk blouse and nice slacks.
What a wonderful idea, Susan! Wish I could attend! I’m usually in your area in October, when I visit a friend in the NC mountains. Please take pictures!
Thank you, we will look forward to it!
Regretfully, will not be able to attend!
It sounds like a lovely opportunity to meet you and Mr Mickey!

Susan, thank you for your lovely invite to meet you and Mr. Mickey. So wish I could attend but a bit far to travel. Have a wonderful time and yes, post some pictures for us!
I’m going to try to make it!
What a lovely idea for a gathering, but we will not be able to attend as that is during the same timeframe as our Viking cruise.
So bummed, I will be out of town that week. I would have loved this and been so excited to attend! This is a great idea and I hope you do it again!
Thank you very much for this special invite! I’d love to take a trip that direction sometime, but it’s not likely for us this year. Enjoy and have a pleasant time!
