what a week!
Today (5/7) is the last day to vote on the Softies Awards… although if you haven’t already, by the time you read this it will probably be too late.
I am back at work-
a group (choir? gaggle? giggle? luncheon?) of big ladies in pastels.
I have been reflecting on how the internet and blogging community has become such a good part of my life. In one week I met Ariana of Staindrop (Sunday) who gave me a fantastic walking tour of Portland. Then Sister Diane of Craftypod (Monday) for talk, coffee and recommendations for great places to visit in Portland. Tuesday was spent visiting those places.
On Friday, back home, I spent the morning with Abby of While She Naps. We discussed all the favorite topics- kids, marketing on line, our blogs, other favorite blogs, the state of Art and art and the world. Wonderful! But not only that- we went out for a walk and stopped in a fantastic coffee/tea shop- Look at this!
We split one of these-
Thanks Abby!
Sunday was a party to celebrate a little more then one year since Boston Handmade began. It is my Etsy marketing and friends group.
Wow! What a week! And so many people look at me like I am some kind of nut when I say I blog, sell online, post on Flickr… they just don’t know what they’re missing.

I voted for you:) Nice comments about blgging~ If I hadn’t discovered art blogs last year I wouldnt have taken up dollmaking again and pursued that arena. I only wish I had time to write something important on my blog and visit more often!

Susu. A great bakery. That tart was so good, and you were great company!

Lucky you to spend time with all those great ladies! What a treat! You got my vote too in the Softie Awards
When I saw your pile of ladies my first thought was a “gossip of ladies”, what do you think?!

hey mimi! I’ll be hitting Portland next week- Wish you were going to be there!
We really do need to plan a visit sometime. Maybe in June?

I voted for you too! Because you rock. And the naked dude is fabulous.

Your last paragraph is oh so true! What’s the name of the bakery that you and Abby visited? I’m in New Hampshire, and it looks worthy of a road trip!
May 7th, 2008 at 8:50 am
Oh silly me…I just read a few comments above and got the bakery name - so never mind!
