There are times when the interwebby thing really amazes me and makes me smile. I recently read this post at Velma's blog which made me think I have to go follow up this woman's work. I diligently went and explored the web to find Trace of soewnearth in a few places; and was then totally amazed to discover that she was Australian!
I love how you can travel half the way around the world (figuratively speaking) only to come back home and find what it was you were looking for.
I followed her to her etsy shop and bought a beautiful book, just like Velma's. We had a lovely little email exchange - she was just as surprised to discover that I was who I was as she sometimes reads this blog! Small worlds, small wonders.
I was delighted to receive my parcel from her last week - with lots of gorgeousness and goodies. Here are a few of the pieces...

gorgeous little book
ReplyDeleteA lttle treasure!
ReplyDeletei do think trace is a treasure. and i love my book, too. isn't it great how we can get to "know" one another through the ethers?
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff - and a great story!
ReplyDeleteDelicious is the perfect description for those yummy items...especially that little book!!! I could eat it up!
ReplyDeleteI always chuckle at your phrase "interwebby thing"....but it too is the perfect description for the way we've all become so interconnected. Curious how the distances collapse, so that your new connection in your own country was found in the same way you'd find someone halfway across the globe! What fun!
What lovely treasures Fiona. Will have to visit the site... that's what networking is all about.
ReplyDeleteAbigail and Robyn - so true it's gorgeous isn't it and just like Christmas unwrapping it!
ReplyDeleteVelma - yes the wonders of the ethers; thanks so much forckeadibg me to Trace
TT/gabriella - yes the story is as lovely as the works in a way...
Patti - yep I'll stick with delicious and the interweb! I loved the way the web brought me home so to speak...
Jo - oh yes, definitely worth a visit! Enjoy!
What a beautiful little treasure Fiona! And so love the connection story. I also had a happy meeting last night with a fellow ALaW'ian Jo only know via blogging, it was only by chance that I happen to see her writing her name on a list and recognised her!!!!
ReplyDeletefiona, trace is great. i looked at the comments, what is "forckeadibg"? !!!
ReplyDeleteV I am relying on my phone at the moment, that should have read for leading me to Trace! Sorry!
ReplyDeleteyay! i thought it might be a menopausal thing...for me it would be!
ReplyDeleteTrace is wonderful and I am lucky enough to work in the same shed as her!!!
ReplyDeletejillipop - thanks for popping by. You are right Trace does amazing things and lucky you - sharing a shed. I love that that sounds so Australian! Go well.
