Ronda Carman, Brand Ambassador for SFERRA (a fine linen firm), but better known as the editor/founder of All the Best Blog is touring the U.S. in promoting SFERRA’s latest ad campaign, LOSE COUNT. The tour stopped here in Atlanta and was hosted by none other than Phoebe Howard (Mrs.Howard/Max & Company).

Given the fact it was my first time visiting Mrs. Howard’s shop I wasn’t prepared for all of the grandeur, pomp, and circumstance. Fortunately I did have my new camera with me to get a few shots of her breathtaking showroom.

Press included, Atlanta Journal and Constitution, Veranda Magazine, Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles, and of course our beloved bloggers: Ronda of All the Best Blog, Shameeka of The Broke Socialite, Jenny of My Favorite and My Best, Cristi of Charm Home, Blayne of This Photographer’s Life, Claire of High Gloss Blue, Helen of Whitehaven, May of Snug Furniture, and Shani of Camille Maurice.

The night ended with an very amusing conversation with Jenny, Molly, Shani, and a surprisingly funny Phoebe Howard! I also got a chance to know Ronda Carman who is such a lovely woman. We had a conversation about hurtful comments sometimes made on her blog, about her “pretentiousness” and other myths regarding her online persona. This is so not the case! She is so down to earth and I think we may have hugged about 10 times that night! Shameeka was right, I loved her instantly.  I also had a chance to speak with Jill Sharp Brinson. I didn’t recognize her face, but I realized when I got home and “googled” her that I am a HUGE fan of her work! I think that was my most embarrassing moment of the evening…especially since I joked with her about giving her “my autograph!” Fun times in the ATL…
