Friends from afar.....

Beautiful Autumn card from across the miles.

When I had the pleasure of meeting blogger/writer/lover of the brocante, Corey Amaro, in Aix-en-Provence last Autumn, that pleasure was doubled.....no actually tripled.....because I also met her cousin Judy with husband Chris who were visiting.
Funny how one sometimes gets the feeling an acquaintance may become a friend. Despite separation by vast continents and thousands of miles, we may be lucky enough to meet again the people who briefly crossed our path. This happened when we visited Judy and Chris at their lovely home in California in late July. An all too brief stop, full of warm welcome and hospitality, made possible on our way to stay with lifelong friends at Lake Almanor. Hopefully we'll meet again along the way some day.
Inside Judy's lovely card was attached a verse from
Keats' poem To Autumn.

  1. You trip to France and California were made all the more special by meeting new friends.

    Yes, we do have some help on our remodeling. We have a contractor doing the tearing out. We will have someone paint the two story great room and two stair ways, because I won't climb that high! I will paint the rest of the house, lay the new tiles in the master bath and shower. My husband will do the plumbing...We are looking at moving around the week that you will be over here. If you have time, since my home is about 10 minutes away from the Screen Door, maybe you can come by for a look!
    Hugs,

  3. I love Keats and I love the fall. That is a lovely card. Are those silver liquor glasses in front? They are very pretty looking with their patina.
    It has such a nostalgic feel for me. I'm not sure why. I always felt like fall was full of new beginnings, instead of spring like most people.
    Thanks for sharing, and have a beautiful fall!!
