A few weeks ago (two, maybe? I’m losing track of the weeks zipping by), I hosted a lifestyle blogger meetup at Peperina Garden Bistro in Ranelagh on the south side of Dublin. It was so much fun and I’m excited to share lots of photos with you today!
First, giant thanks to Rincy and Julie for these photos. They captured the evening so perfectly while I was running around organizing and chatting!
Now, the location. Peperina Garden Bistro is a really sweet cafe in Ranelagh that was absolutely perfect for our autumn meetup. The decor is simple and colorful, and our pumpkins and gourds blended right in! Evan, the owner of Peperina, was so sweet to let us take over for the evening! (That’s him below!)
I strictly enforce name tags – no one escapes!
We had the nicest goodie bags with bits from a few talented Irish artists, but I’m going to save that for a post of its own next week! It deserves proper attention and shouting for all the talent and generosity!
I asked Alex to recreate her awesome autumn leaf wall as a little photo backdrop for the event. We loved it, but there was so much chatting we kind of forgot to use it very much!
Peperina put together this delicious punch for us. I’m going to share a version of it next week because I think it’s a lovely autumn drink for November! It would be perfect for Thanksgiving afternoon!
For an activity on the night, I asked Nikki from Daintree Paper to come and do a little craft demo and she was just amazing. She brought so many fun craft supplies and everyone got to play with glitter. You just can’t go wrong with a little glue and glitter!
Peperina also put together a whole bunch of mini snacks and treats for us. They were delicious. I think sliders are one of my favorite foods. Mini hamburger buns are hard to beat in the cute department.
My only complaint of the night was that it was too short. We had almost thirty bloggers and it was too tough to try to chat with everyone in only a few hours! We need a whole weekend next time!
Huge thanks to everyone who made the night a huge success. I can’t wait to see everyone again in a few months!
