We’re so excited to finally share all of the pictures and details of our fabulous Mary Poppins blogger party! If you’ll recall, we had a giveaway where 10 blog readers and a guest were invited to attend a fun party at Toni’s home (Design Dazzle), hosted by 12 Utah bloggers. We had an amazing day filled with perfect weather, gracious guests, wonderful hosts, delicious food and amazing sponsors & vendors! We hope you enjoy browsing through the beautiful pictures of the event taken by Lyndsey at Lyndsey Fagerlund Photography.
