A meeting in the land of bubbles !

Before leaving on vacation to the south, I just tell you a very special meeting held in June… I had the great pleasure to participate. That the ADNS. But what the ADNS ? It is the Association Of New Soap. A group of professional and amateur soapmakers. A swap space, support, sharing, good humor and passion around the soap. I put you site link here for more information.

But back to this wonderful day of 23 June 2012. We were invited twenty participants in the beautiful region of Chabeuil. From all regions of France and even Tunisia !! We all took a little something to eat for lunch, dinner organized way “Spanish inn”. Then of course soaps show, humer, share, short a great time when all senses were touched. I would not explain precisely what was in the air… but say that I could describe in one word and… “happiness”. A wonderful atmosphere hovered, the reception of the two hosts Frank and Sabine (Soap Gaiia). People whose good mood is contagious. Everyone shared, smiling, laughed, like a big family which. The place is just wonderful, the countryside and horses… I love horses that I was very happy. Besides Sabine works in this medium, elle a site www.moncheval.fr where we can provide in riding equipment.

I also had the pleasure to meet other bloggers with whom I exchange years… since some 5 years now. We all had the same resentment, printing to know for ages and to meet again with friends. People with whom I keep in touch is some ! Then again of course :).

The meeting also allowed me to meet new faces. People as far as Tunisia (Taoufik) and another much closer… in the same city as me, small clin d'oeil to Missrimel. I left the evening, light heart and head full of ideas. Another huge thank you to Frank and Sabine… I look forward to seeing you all at our next meeting !
