On Saturday night, our friends John and Stacey had an incredible dinner party and we got to meet so many of their friends. Toben and John have been working together a ton on a book that John is writing, and Toben usually has dinner at their house on Wednesday nights when he's in Phoenix.
Among the friends I got to meet was my blogging friend, Linda. Linda and I have emailed back and forth and commented on each other's blogs quite a bit. It was so fun to meet her in person! Yet another blog friend I've now met face to face. See? Think it won't happen? It will. It's just a matter of time.
Anyway, Linda has the most amazing craft room ever--I have total craft room envy. Go check her blog to see the pictures.
Next time I'm in Phoenix, we're going to go shopping together and she can teach me how to thrift. She gets amazing things--and the best I can find is sewing patterns. I think I must be doing something wrong. As I told her, "Teach me!" (You can see the amazing apothecary jar she got recently for only $12. Yes, $12!)
I also had another small world experience. Before we left, I got an email from Stephanie, who lives in Denver but moved here from Phoenix. Turns out she's friends with Stacey. And Angie, another blogger I sat with at dinner on Saturday. Hey Stephanie, Angie says hi!
hey joanne.
i just wrote a post about sorting through my grandmother's attic, and then i read what you wrote about thrifting for old patterns. we found a ton of them while we were cleaning and were wondering what to do with them. is that the sort of thing you can sell on e-bay?
also (sorry this is long) i was wondering if there's an easy way to get that library thing you have on the right side of your screen...i can't figure it out, but i've been wanting to do something like that.
thanks! have a great thursday (it's 7:00 in denver, so i'm assuming you're already in deep sleep, haha).
