Mary's Hotel Lobby Seminar

On Mary's second day in Iowa, we went to the Figge Museum and had lunch at the Blackhawk Hotel. Then, a little magic happened. Magic is more likely to happen if you are in a beautiful place...or with people you love....Although we didn't exactly plan this part of the day...it did end up glorious...

This is the side entrance to the Blackhawk...

The side lobby is smaller, but still stunning

with a magnificent gas fireplace

The furniture is all custom made

When the hotel reopened, after the big expensive remodel -- we had a cousin's party there!!

WHICH WAS AWESOME...

So, on this special occasion -- after lunch, we decided to enjoy the gorgeous lob...by

And it just so happens, Mary brought gifts for everybody...

There were books, and patterns...

And -- WHAT THE HECK?? She might as well do a little seminar...

I mean -- the chairs are really comfortable...

And the lighting IS STUNNING...
