Morrocan magic made a stop in my town this week.
Wrapping up her international book tour, Maryam Montague made an appearance at Nest Inspired Home in Rye, NY….not far from her childhood home in Chappaqua…thanks to some friendships developed via twitter!
Morrocan fare, specialty cocktails by Colleen Mullaney, Gratitude Beads by Jewelry for a Cause and a book signing! Not your average Tuesday night!
Here’s a peek at the fun.
Me with Lonny cover girl and author, Maryam…we discovered we have children about the same age.
Sandwiched between my special blogging friends, Carolyn James McDonough & Cynthia James Matrullo of Diane James Home.
Me with entertaining expert, Colleen Mullaney. She created the evening’s special cocktail!
I’m crazy about these Gratitude Beads….I went home with some lavender and purple.
And, here’s Maryam signing her book, Marrakesh by Design, for the lucky give away winner….Sue of The Zhush! Congratulations, Sue….wish you could have been there, but this is the next best thing! By, the way, she loves your online shop!!
Who wants to join me in Marrakesh next year?

In addition to a brand new book to covet, the evening looked like a warm and happy turn-out of people who can appreciate the beauty of Marrakesh.
Lovely.
How fun to have a little bit of Morocco in your town on a Tuesday night. Looks like such a fun bash! I wish I could have been there, but am so glad that I least got to attend vicariously through your fun photos! Glad you had such a magical Moroccan evening! XO
