A SPECIAL DAY



Today, I finally got to meet one of my online friends, Roc. Roc and I became friends online through the blog world and art swaps. She only lives about an hour away from me, so today we got together, and it was just wonderful! Roc has a friend near her that owns a beautiful clothing boutique, with some special and unique clothing and accessories, and she was kind enough to ask her friend to look at my work. Again, pure amazement at what friends do for friends, and I had never even met her yet! Well Patti, the shop owner looked at my online jewelry and I agreed to pay her a visit and show her in person. Patti is super, the meeting went GREAT, she made a great purchase, and now will feature my jewelry in her shop, and I am so honored and humbled. Arty people will never cease to amaze me, and that includes all of you that visit me. You all get it!
We went for lunch afterwards, and then I spent more time with Roc. She made my daughter and me homemade lemon cookies...yuuuuummm. We had fun with her pups, Benny and Ruby....here is Benny, he's adorable, Ruby hid a lot.
It was a fantastic day, and my emotions are still overwhelmed. Thank you Roc, for your kindness and your caring, support and friendship...it means the world to me, and I am so happy we could meet. I look forward to the next time, and to meet more of my online friends!

How fabulous!! and richly deserved to have your jewellery in Patti's shop.

I too have had the opportunity to meet some of my online friends here in England and it is a blessing.

how absolutely wonderful! every single thing is wonderful... how nice that you will be featured in a shop - definitely are deserving of it... maybe you could give her a couple of the publications you have been in or featured in to set in with your work...
