Guess who I ran into?!

[szaza]

Well, actually it was planned...
@dibbles passed by Belgium during her holidays and we spent a lovely day together, showing her and her friends around. It was so great to be able to talk about soap all day!
And to top it all off, she gave me some beautiful soaps.

Now I finally understand what all the fuzz is about with them FO's! I've been sniffing these babies the entire time since I came home. My boyfriend was worried my nose would turn into soap

How cool! Now, who's coming to New Zealand?

 

[Marilyn Norgart]

How fun is that!!!!!!!

 

[dibbles]

It was so fun to spend the day with @szaza . We all enjoyed her company very much.

If anyone passes thru the Copenhagen area, let me know! And, @KiwiMoose, I would LOVE to visit NZ!! I'll keep you in mind if we ever make it that way I love the idea of meeting soapers.

 

[szaza]

It is really cool to meet people on here in person! Who would have thought meeting strangers off the internet would be so much fun!
I actually also met with the wonderful @Ladka on my holiday to Slovenia. She showed us the shop where she sells her beautiful hand-dyed wool and took us to this amazing spot

I have family in New Zealand. It's a place I'd love to visit one day but travelling really isn't within our budget at this stage... unfortunately.

So lucky! How nice to meet someone you know from online in real life.. If anyone happens to come to the Philippines let me know too lol

I wish I could travel.. But it's not in the budget right now either. Not with a kid in private school and a little one with monthly doc checkups lol

@KiwiMoose you're so near yet so far lol

 

[Ladka]

It surprised me too how people who have never met in real life can spend such a wonderful day together. And to crown it all there was a rainbow down the valley we drove from Kranjska Gora in the Julian Alps to my home, after a hot sunny day.
In the workshop Kreativnice in Škofja Loka that I showed Szaza I do not sell my soaps cause I'm not registered, I sell natural dyed wool and silk items I make as my other hobby.

 

[Mobjack Bay]

Absolutely wonderful! Just in case - I’m not far from Williamsburg VA.

On my bucket list...

I'm in New Zealand! Alas, I could have attended a conference in your city last week but I'd attended another conference the month before so didn't feel I could. But I understand you were relaxing in Bali so my trip would have been in vain anyway (apart from the important conference stuff ...)
My trip to the Philippines has also been postponed Sorry @Dawni !

I'm happy you got to meet up with @dibbles , @szaza , thanks for sharing!

Mobjack, not for at least a year or more, but I love Alexandria and when we get in that part of the world, Williamsburg is generally a must as well. So next time I get over that way, I'll let you know. I'd love to get together.

Or maybe I could convince Hubby to jog over to New Zealand next time we leave the country.

 

[KiwiMoose]

We like jogging over here
We are a very 'outdoorsy' country.

Cool beans. Those soaps are beauties. I'd hate to use them if I had those gems in my home (eventually I would though).
