guess who I met?

How exciting! On her whirlwind world tour, Liz and her companion Borromini Bear made a stop in Kansas City, Missouri. Kate & Joseph and I were able to spend a delightful day getting to know them both --- lots of sketching, mad dashes around the city, and a spot of tea (of course!)

First a leisurely breakfast / sketching at the Savoy. A very gracious staff allowed us to linger (2 hours) as we played with our pens and paints on their linen tablecloth. (Oops! What's that stain and who's paintbrush made it???)

Next, a trip to Architectural Salvage --- Normally closed on Wednesday but they opened up just for us to explore more subjects to sketch. Bill is SO sorry he couldn't get the day off to come see this place. I'll have to kidnap him later on for a visit to this place --- a renovator's treasure trove!

After this, there were giggles & grins driving madly around the city (OK, Joseph drove and the rest of us giggled). We checked out the Half-Price Bookstore, enjoyed a snack at a lovely hidden tea shop, and visited Creative Coldsnow, an art supply shop.

I feel like I've known Liz for ages --- How wonderful to meet her in person and enjoy such a fun day together. Thanks for inviting me to join in on the fun, Liz!
