Ceramics, Floral, Cheese & Chats @ Commonfolk, July 2021

I feel so privileged I was part of last nights Clay, Floral, Cheese & Chats. You truly are Queen Mary of Connections. I can’t thank you enough for bringing all this creativity, fun, laughter, friendship, cheese, great food and a great venue together for us all to enjoy. I forgot the outside world even existed, we were so warm and cozy and having way too much fun to even realize how cold it was outside. I’m so pumped and ready to do it all over again! Thank you QM

I had the best time on Friday night! Thank you Mary for bringing everyone together to enjoy such a relaxing evening!
Everyone did such an amazing job creating their pieces. I only wish I took more photos of the finished pieces, I was too busy having a wonderful time with everyone.

good things lunch @ mont rouge estate redhill, february 2021

Thank-you Mary for bringing together such an interesting group of women. I loved your profile questions that helped us to see the quirky side in each of us. I drove away invigorated and inspired by Lisa’s talk, the wonderful and peaceful surroundings of Mont Rouge, the wine and happy chatter of women enjoying each other’s company. I take my hat off to you Mary. This is something you are cut out for.
— Lyn, Wonthaggi
Mary, it’s quite special that you create an environment where people bring and can share their whole selves as appropriate…and feel a sense of oneness, connectedness…and part of a shared sisterhood and connecting with kindred spirits. I leave inspired, challenged, happy, warm, excited and looking forward to the next event…with the hope that the same Gals go to the next Happy Places & Co gathering! So rich, so lovely…
