DFW GTG - January 26th - Northpark Mall . . . who's in?

[LaurenThePartier]

So, in the last thread, I think we decided to go ahead and do it on Saturday, January 26th . . . I just want to make sure everyone has a chance to see this that wants to come, and I wanted to use this thread to plan our " diamond window shopping and lunch" day.

Is there a nice restaurant in the Northpark?

Yay, I'm so excited to meet you all!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Oh, and John and Katie from Whiteflash have also said that they will try and make it.

 

[ringabling]

I am probably not going to be able to male it on a Sunday but have a great time!!

P.F. Changs, McCormick & Schmicks, Corner Bakery, La Madeleine & Maggiano''s is there . . . may have left out a couple
plus the Nord''s & NM restatuants and food court upstairs.
Hope this helps!

Oh shoot! I meant the 26th! The Saturday!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Ali or Andrey - can you please change the title and first post to read Saturday, January 26th?

Thanks!

 

[OUpearlgirl]

I won''t be able to go anymore as I will be back in school.. But I hope you guys have fun!!

 

[iwannaprettyone]

bump

Now it is on Saturday I can probably make it!

 

[blondie23]

I just saw this. I will be in CA the week before on business travel, returning to Dallas Friday evening so right now I am a maybe. Sounds like fun!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

BUMP!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

This is still on by the way - and I believe John and Katie from Whiteflash are going to both try and make it!

 

[ringabling]

I''ll try!
Early afternoon - {1ish} is best for me. Any thought on time and location?
Corner Bakery may be good because people can eat or not eat and just have dessert, not be bothered by waitstaff , splitting bills. . . . .

I think that''s a great option - and I was thinking right around, or just after lunch time, so 1:00 pm works well for me, too! We could always go eat after we''re done "shopping" if we feel like it.

Corner Bakery at 1:00 on the 26th it is!

Count me in! I''d love to go. I''m also planning to buy more tea at Teavana--my new vice. It''s a little more affordable than diamonds. I would love to see some people''s diamond studs if you''ve got''em, especially in the .6 to .7 TCW as that is the size I am considering. I would also like to see WF full bezel in the same size, maybe I''ll be lucky and someone has it and I an i can live vicariously through their ear lobes!! And I can show off my WF micropave legato I got for my 28th anniversary! Thanks for doing this, Lauren.

 

[starshine]

It sounds like a blast! Meeting John and Katie...WOW! They''re Pricescope ROCKSTARS!

Might just have to bribe DH to watch the kiddos and let me trek up from Waco! I can show off my WF studs!

DH might not go for this though... I might get some ideas for future pieces...

Oh, count me in at Teavana! I''ve wanted to go forever! I agree - much more affordable than diamonds.

I have a pair of very deeply cut, low colour, low clarity 1.02 tcw 4.5 mm martini studs that I''m looking to "trade up" for some .60 - .70 tcw ACAs. I''m hoping Iwannaprettyone wears hers . . . I think they''re right around that size, and the W prong studs are awesome!

I''m trying to do some size comparisons on bezel pendants vs. martini set pendants. I tried on a .50 ct. tiny bezel set pendant at BB&B today, and I think I want the thin bezel, but in a .40 or so for daily wear.

And I can''t wait to see your WF Legato in person!

This sounds like it will be a great time!

This made me chuckle - I have to admit, I was a bit "star" struck when I first met them - but they are soooooo incredibly nice, and knowledgeable.

I hope your DH is in a particularly good mood - I would love to meet you.

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Oh, and I''ll probably be going to see Van Halen at the AA Center that night, too. Keep your fingers crossed for me that my DH actually gets the tickets!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Bumpity bump.

 

[iwannaprettyone]

26th?? I''m so confused, I thought it was at the mall....

Yes, Saturday, the 26th, and we''re trying to figure out at which restaurant in the mall we want to meet. Have any preferences?

Also, my new hire is named Kathryn, a little part of me thinks about you when I see her in passing.

OH! I thought you meant 26th st/ave...hah

Great, I don''t mind really. Just hold up your left hand so I can recognize you...

Actually, that''s a good point - how will we recognize everyone?

I guess, I''ll be the short blonde with the tall willowy brunette and John.

Oh, and I may have a new surprise to show off by then.

 

[iwannaprettyone]

I''ll be the tall redhead.

Hee hee - when I met up with KtIceRn and Shay37 the first time, I brought along a mousepad with a picture of a diamond on it. We were pretty easy to find then!

LOL

Hahahaha! That''s a fantastic idea Al J! I can''t imagine what the other people who happened to see your mousepad must have thought.

Maybe I''ll stand there with a Whiteflash ring box or something.

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Yay, it''s THIS SATURDAY!

The weather looks to be in the 50s, too.

 

[ringabling]

ahhhhhhhhhhh! I hope I can come!!!
Should we confirm meeting time/place?

 

[curiopotter]

I''ll try to make it if I can get someone to take my shift at work...

Yes, let''s do NOON at Corner Bakery?

Does that work for everyone?
