While I didn’t take a lot of people pictures (we were too busy talking) here are some quick mentions of who was in attendance ...<br /><br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Linda Merrill of <a href="http://chameleon-interiors.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Surroundings</span></a> (another designer with a great digital design magazine) who I have mentioned <a href="http://designvignettes.blogspot.com/#uds-search-results">numerous times</a> on this blog!</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />Photographer <a href="http://michaeljleephotography.com/www.michaeljleephotography.com/HOME.html">Michael J. Lee</a>, who actually shoots all the covers for <span style="font-weight: bold;">Surroundings Magazine </span>and whose work has been seen in a wealth of other shelter publications (he even made it in </span><span style="font-size:130%;"><a href="http://issuu.com/nefinery/docs/nef2-april.may2011">New England Finery</a>, see page 32-33 of issue 2). </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Designer <a href="http://www.lesliefineinteriors.com/pages/about.html">Leslie Fine</a>, who wrote an article for <span style="font-weight: bold;">New England Finery</span> issue 2 (see pages 28 – 31). While we were talking that night, she mentioned an upcoming project to design a 20 x 30 foot display area for </span><span style="font-size:130%;">the Residential Design and Construction Show</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> for <span style="font-weight: bold;">New England Home Magazine </span>(who we have both <a href="http://blog.nehomemag.com/upcoming-guest-bloggers/">guest blogged</a> for recently). Take a look at how it came out by visiting <a href="http://blog.lesliefineinteriors.com/events/leslie-fine-interiors-designs-new-england-home-magazines-booth-at-rdc-2011/">her design blog</a>. Fabulous!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I also got to meet <a href="http://katierosenfelddesign.com/">Katie Rosenfeld</a> a designer from Weston who I had only “</span><span style="font-size:130%;">spoken with</span><span style="font-size:130%;">”</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> on twitter previously. We had discovered online that we both attended Boston College around the same time. We have probably crossed paths many times without realizing it!</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmSsgA06TKpxnumFRQfJAN_9fVDCO4etDTsOMzU8D6nbmQ4Ebbns71Hsi1yvIWjcc95w2ANBbdjwBS_iIXe40BhCR1q1HdUw30EkuJqN9C52rlF4n-CEBWSl8YrdmF8gIvqaHrys5sC3ef/s1600/Fancyseeing%254012chairs.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601926885224096546" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmSsgA06TKpxnumFRQfJAN_9fVDCO4etDTsOMzU8D6nbmQ4Ebbns71Hsi1yvIWjcc95w2ANBbdjwBS_iIXe40BhCR1q1HdUw30EkuJqN9C52rlF4n-CEBWSl8YrdmF8gIvqaHrys5sC3ef/s800/Fancyseeing%254012chairs.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 450px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />I met others including lifestyle blogger Erika Johnson of <a href="http://radiantrepublic.com/">Radiant Republic</a>, designer Rachel Reider who just <a href="http://www.rachelreider.com/news-5under40-award.html">won this award</a>, artist <a href="http://www.leedesign.biz/about.html">Marilyn MacLeod</a>, photographer <a href="http://www.sarahwinchesterstudios.com/">Sarah Winchester</a>, remodeling expert <a href="http://meadowviewconstruction.blogspot.com/">David West</a>, and <a href="http://www.jdcomm.biz/content/christina-tassie-miller">Christina Tassie Miller</a> of the PR firm J.D.
