A Night in Girl Heaven (Bloggers Night Out at Gardner Village)

Ever wonder what heaven for women would look like? I have discovered the answer. It would look exactly like Gardner Village, in West Jordan, UT. This cute little shopping village is full of decor, apparel, fabric and much more, all in cute little old houses turned shop.

Gardner Village and My Craft Channel invited some local bloggers to come spend a night checking out the little village. I have only been to Gardner Village one other time in my life and I was with my husband, someone who thinks that apparel and fabric stores were invented to torture men, so I didn't get much time to browse. This time we went to every single shop and it was pure heaven. I already want to go back. This place is literally a little slice of heaven. Here let me show you.

Country Furniture and Gifts is full of wonderful decor and holiday decorations that I want to fill my house with. I think I snapped about 100 photos in this store alone.

Sassy Babies is full of everything you need for a sweet little girl.

I spent a good 5 minutes ogling these snake rings from Plum Dandy. I am seriously so in love with them. I hate snakes. Seems odd to be so in love with a snake ring, but I guess I can't help it.

Walking into Kamille's yarn and knitting store is seriously like a yarn paradise with all of the pretty colors of yarn.

I am so in love with this red lace cardigan from Posh Peddler. I have pulled up this photo to look at it about a million times. I think I just need to go back and get the cardigan.

This little one was pretty much the best part of the night. Sometimes I think I go to blogger events just to stare at Amy's (from Ameroonie Designs) sweet little girl.

Apparently I have an owl obsession, although I didn't know it until I saw the Halloween decor at Upon the Shelf. I love their Halloween stuff so much, I pretty much want to make my front room look like an advertisement for their store.

As someone who has loved dolls from a very young age, I gasped when I walked into Georgell Doll Shop. I think it might be little girl paradise. Marissa from Rae Gun Ramblings found her twin in a little doll.

I had never seen so many beautiful beads in every color until I walked into the Bead Farm. Have I convinced you yet that this is a women mecca?

No woman heaven would be complete without a candy store that sells fudge. I dream about Sweet Afton's.

Our trip into Pine Needles quilt shop was particularly special. Amy found a pillow made from her tutorial. She is pretty much famous. I need to make sure I have her sign this photo.

Anyone who knows me, knows that my personal heaven would be filled with cool consignment shops. Aunt Elsie's Trinkets and Treasures is welcome in my personal heaven anytime. Look at those beautiful blues. I am pretty sure my husband's wallet weeps when I walk into this store.

Cottage Retreat Day Salon and Spa was one of my favorite stops. Who doesn't need a little pampering?

Seriously the only thing better than a girls night at Gardner Village is one with a bunch of hilarious bloggers.

Have you ever heard of Witch Fest? Gardner Village has activites all October long focused on witches, and their witches are an absolute scream. I thought my little one would be too scared for a witch-themed activity, but I spent the whole time laughing my head off as I listened to one of their witches.

What post about a fun place and great night would be complete without a crazy mustache picture? I mustache you a question....When are you going to go to Gardner Village? I think I would move in if they would let me. And they didn't tell me to say any of this, I just loved this place.
