Thelma meets Louise...

On Saturday I met my very first Etsy friend live and in person! It was so cool, kind of like meeting a celebrity. You may remember this post about my 500th sale on Etsy being made by Lorelei. Well, on Saturday she made the trip to Syracuse to visit me at the market.

We had such a great time, the conversation flowed easily and we both mused over how interesting it is to know so much about someone simply by reading their blog every day. We really have a lot of common ground both having grown up just miles away from each other in tiny upstate NY towns, then both studying art history in college and now both having a love affair with handcrafting jewelry.
We had such a wonderful time - her visit made an otherwise lackluster day at the market totally fun and worthwhile. Thanks Lorelei!
