Holy Canolies!
Yesterday my buddies Amberlina and Lola and I packed up a wheelbarrow full of gnomes and headed on down to the Mother Earth News Fair in Puyallup to hang out with my online boyfriend Ryan from Botanical Interests Seeds.
It. Was. Nuts!
Not only did we help Ryan sell a few seeds in his booth, but we were also able to raise over $450 dollars for our Send in the Gnomes fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Several One Hundred Dollars a Month readers stopped by to say “Hi.” It was totally awesome!
It was fun to meet everyone in person and finally put a name to a face.
Some peeps stopped by to drop off gnomes, some adopted them and some loaded up on boatload of seeds.
It was a blast! Thank you soooo much for coming by.
Oh, and a big thank you to everyone who went up to Ryan and told him he was a “total hottie.” We had him passing out free radish seeds and blushing pretty much the entire afternoon. It was hilarious.
Getting to meet my readers is always a reminder that I am not alone sitting on the computer all day typing about my crazy gardening obsession. So, thanks for helping me keep it real, people.
You rock!

It was such fun to meet you, choose a gnome, buy a ton of great seeds that I surely needed – NOT, and have a photo op with you! After yesterday, I’m on information overload and I’m heading out to the greenhouse now because … ahem … I have a ton of seeds to plant. Thanks for the fun 🙂
Mavis says
It was nice to meet you Gale! I have a bunch of seeds I need to get planted too! 🙂

That looks like Erica from Niorth West Edible Life in a pic with you. Also another awsome garden blogger.
Mavis says
It is! She is one funny lady. I like her. 🙂

I’m surprised nobody took a photo of me standing there for like 10 minutes with my mouth just open in awe that I was standing in the presence of the amazing Mavis Butterfield! XD No instead, we had to get a photo of me making grumpy faces of my husband for goofing off with the camera ;b
Denise says
Yay, made it on your blog again! 🙂 I gotta get you my pic with my favorite chicken & updated garden photos!
Mavis says
Yay! Send them in Denise. 🙂
Denise says
I didn’t tell Ryan he was a hottie, but I did ask him if he was your boyfriend. Haha!

this confirms it! there is no place that you go that you are not the center of attention. and obviously the life of the party.
glad you had a great weekend.
