Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting, in person, one of my favorite bloggers, Connie from Hartwood Roses. We've commented on each other's blogs for quite some time and discovered that we don't live that far away from one another and so we made a plan to meet up and have a day of junking.
I wasn't the least bit nervous about meeting Connie - her charming personality comes through on her blog and I new that we would hit it off from the start. She arrived here in Richmond yesterday morning and it was like I had known her for years. The topics she writes about, her love of her home, her family, her animals - we have so much in common.
After the tour around Haven she and I drove off to one of her favorite junking spots - Class and Trash. Don't you love the name? I loved even more poking around in there. Connie has a great eye and found some treasures amongst the happy chaos. I located a coffee table that I'm hoping to paint a high gloss periwinkle (am I nuts?)
and put into my new place. I'm trying to come up with something clever to call my townhouse in Old Town, like Perch on Pitt? Not sure- it will come to me. In any case, the coffee table find was not as significant as finding a new human connection - one that I hope will continue and grow. I can't wait to visit Hartwood.
That's so exciting. I've been emailing back and forth with Connie as well and hope to visit her gardens in the spring!
ReplyDeleteThe coffee table will look great in periwinkle!

Oh you lucky lady, meeting Connie! She and I have discovered one another -- she wrote to me after I blogged about our daughter Alida getting married in June -- to tell me that her daughter is also getting married that month (and that I would survive!) and also about a beautiful rose called "Alida Lovett." She's promised to have one for me in the Fall.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course I need to add that Connie is lucky to have met you also. I think that table will look smashing in periwinkle. It is just calling out to be a bold and bright color; it's tired of being well behaved.
And thank you for your kind comment on the loss of my father; it's much appreciated. I will always miss him, but I understand now that it was time for him to join Mom, and leave us to muddle along without them both.
All the best ... Cass
Very interesting blog. A lot of blogs I see these days don't really provide anything that attract others, but I'm most definitely interested in this one. Just thought that I would post and let you know.
