Dear Mom,
One of my favorite blogger friends is coming to Phoenix on Thursday. I’m not sure what your schedule looks like but I was wondering if you would enjoy meeting her? You know the blog Velvet & Linen? Yes, it’s Brooke Giannetti and she’s in town for one day signing copies of her newly published book, Patina Style….

“Lisa, it was soooooo much fun meeting Brooke...she is everything you said she would be. A very warm and genuine person....a true gem! On our next trip to California together it would be such a treat to see her again. And the bonus of meeting Brooke was discovering Sweet Salvage & Laura Ingalls Gunn from Décor To Adore!
Brooke signed our copies of Patina Style & yours is on its way. What a fun day!
Love Mom”

Dear Mom,
I’m thrilled that you took the opportunity to stop by Sweet Salvage and say hello to Brooke! I knew you would love her. I also want to take a moment here to remind you how special you are and to say “thank you.” Taking time and taking care are two graces that you always carry with you. They are also gifts that you give to everyone that you meet. Your taking the time yesterday made everything so much more special and memorable for everyone involved.
I love you.

The first thing I said when I met the lovely mother, Nancy, was how much I liked her necklace.
ReplyDeleteNancy you truly have such grace and style. Listen to Lisa and start a blog! I for one would hang on your every word.
Meeting you and hearing about your interesting life was a true highlight of my day. I even told Mr. Decor all about you. :)
Ok, Lisa...honestly I just want to pickle and bottle you...and preserve ya forever.
ReplyDeleteLove you...your mom...your family.
Lisa, this is such a lovely post! I am so happy that you and your mother were able to be there together.

Have a nice weekend.
