Attending the Aladdin Southern Luncheon!

This post was brought to you by Aladdin, Momtrends and Party BluPrints.  

Every now and then, I get an intriguing email in my inbox.  I was invited to the Aladdin Southern Luncheon in downtown Atlanta!  Me!  Believe it or not!  Do they know that in order to leave the house and look semi-normal, I have to wash all the paint out of my hair and put on something besides my Sponge Bob Square Pants shirt?  Momtrends and the awesome ladies from Party BluPrints invited me and a bunch of fabulous bloggers to celebrate the arrival of the Aladdin Mason Entertaining Collection!

The luncheon was hosted at the historic Piedmont Estate in Atlanta.  The mansion, originally known as the Pope-Walton house, was originally built in Wilkes County Georgia in 1797,  117 miles east of Atlanta.  During the Civil War, General Sherman’s troops spared this particular home only because Mary Elizabeth Pope Walton was caring for her newborn there. In the mid 1960’s, the mansion was actually moved brick by brick to its current location in the heart of Buckhead over a three year period.

What a fabulous place to hold a gathering!

So, I ditched the Sponge Bob shirt, made myself presentable and headed on out.  I love an opportunity to meet a cool brand like Aladdin, and some fabulous bloggers!

Once I had gotten through the trauma of leaving the keys to my VW bug with the valet dude, I managed to relax a little in the beautifully decorated mansion.  True to southern hospitality, the nice folks at Aladdin had set up a nice display of flavored lemonades in One and Two Gallon Classic Mason Dispensers, creating a fun focal point and a stress free help yourself beverage bar.

An interesting thing about the internet is that you make very close friends that you often never meet in person.  And then when you finally meet them, it is like you have known each other forever!

And then there was the beautiful dining room!

This amazing tablescape was created with the new Aladdin Mason Entertaining Collection.  Even the fresh flowers were in Aladdin mugs!

The photographers caught me taking a photo of my place setting with my cell phone.  Why, you might ask?

We enjoyed a fabulous lunch.  Lot’s of great girl talk!  And it was so nice to meet bloggers from all over the country in person!  Every single woman at this table has her own unique style, unique point of view and drive to accomplish some amazing creative things.  There were fashion bloggers, mommy bloggers, artists, party bloggers, interior design bloggers; such a great mix of creative professionals.

I can only say, it was worth dressing up for!

Oh, and the dessert was totally worth the drive.  Just saying.
