meeting great people online... does this happen to everyone?

Sorry I haven't been posting lately , the store Dime Store Emporium takes up most of my time.  I have been real busy trying to perfect my verdigris, now with me having to take it indoors it has been much more difficult to achieve the look I want.

here's some new stuff I've done.

What I really wanted to post about is this really nice women I met through Etsy (she bought some charms) what I didn't know  was that she needed one of the item to make up this gift for a friend (who she has never met in person) kind of like a pen pal.  How nice is that.. anyway long story short she put together the neatest gift made from a vintage first aid kit.

Her name is Pam and we got to talking (typing) and only to find out we have more in common , Pam lives in a 90 yr old  Arts & Crafts home (Hate Her), My Fav... She is also a collector look...

These are just the neatest hands...so my question of the day is does everyone meet such interesting people on line as I have ?

This could be a new blog theme...hmmmm.
