image; the fabulous My Sister Pat bathing suits found at Lark
The blogworld is a hilarious place, I can't get over how much it brings people together from all over the world...
Case in point; I strolled past a woman on the beach today (yes, still here!) who gave me a big smile and said to me, "I love your bathers"; we were in identical styles with different prints - ie. My Sister Pat 50's inspired one piece.
We got chatting....Prue was down from Christchurch NZ with her family, we spoke about our swimwear, quickly jumping to Lark, the power of blogs, our google readers and how full they are becoming. Prue told me during her visit that she'd also been to Meet Me at Mike's and Cottage Industry, as a result of her blog-love.
Then we chatted about our little people, travelling and professional lives.
"Oh, I have this business that sells vintage posters...."I answered.
Prue looks over with a glint in her eye, "Really?? What is the name of your company?"
"Oh my God", says my new acquaintance, "I was on your website the other night. I noticed you via The Design Files."
It ends up that Prue loves Lucy's blog, it's her daily read, a post about us caught her eye, so she spent a while checking out what we do.
Unbelievable; Do you call that Six Degrees of Separation??

That is incredibly cool! Love it when blog world and everyday world collide.
Great to know that yes, most of us out there are actually really cool chicks that would be fun to meet, and they'd be sure to be wearing really fab bathers when we do!

Haha... its like a web 2.0 version of someone wearing the t-shirt of a band you like, and then on talking to them you discover you like all the same bands, and instantly know that person is a kindred spirit. fabulous!
Surely you are talking about my wonderful "Prue from Christchurch" or could there be more than one!!
Deidre from Christchurch
Yay, I love it when that happens! although it might be a while until I am next on a beach as it is freezing, knee-jangling weather!
Glad you are having a lovely summer,
