Hello!
This post is long overdue... I wanted to make it perfect and put it to the next day all the time. Well, now you have to read my unperfect blog post about a perfect meeting!
As you know, I was on holidays in Canada for three weeks this summer. Just before I left, I posted about my house slippers which I was going to take to Canada with me (they were absolutely perfect for the hostels btw) and asked if anyone from the Vancouver area would like to meet for coffee/tea. And guess what! Darrah from the ButtonBuffalo does actually live close to Vancouver and agreed to meet with me!
Man, I was so nervous to meet her and her husband! After all... Would we like each other? Would we have something to talk about? And so on. I shouldn't have worried! It was as if we knew each other forever and time passed by in a second!
We met at Thierry, a chocolate café close to my hostel. They have amazing chocolate cakes - if you live anywhere around there, I recommend you give it a try! We talked for over two hours about everything and nothing really! Darrah is an amazing American who moved to Canada some years ago. To tell the truth - I envy her a lot for being able to live in the Vancouver area! My fingers are crossed that she will get her permanent visa soon! Did you hear anything new about that yet Darrah?
Darrah gave me this really beautiful little bird! It traveled with us for the rest of the journey and now lives in our flat in Germany! Isn't he cute (I reckon he is a boy... not sure about the name yet. Any ideas?)? What a thoughtful gift which will always remind me about our wonderful meeting! I can't wait to meet Darrah and her family again!
When I started this blog almost a year ago, I didn't know how much it would help me to connect with people all over the world! I met so many great people through our and other blogs already whom I wouldn't want to miss! I adore reading their blogs and therefore becoming a part of their life, just as they become part of mine through the comments they leave for Michelle and me. THANK YOU!

I have noticed that we have some new followers on Bloglovin and here on blogger! Wow! I always squeal with excitement when there is a new follower! Thanks a lot for becoming part of our little world!
Take care

It was so fun to get to met you. I never expectedd my blog to take me places, either! Hopefully in the next 2 years we'll be able to get over to Germany and visit you on your side of the world!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to see you here in Germany! I will show you allll the wonderful yarn stores! :-)

ReplyDeleteHave a nice Sunday
It is indeed wonderful to meet new friends! :-) I wish I could more in person!
DeleteAmazing! It must have been so nice to meet in the flesh :) and cake is always a good thing. The bird is lovely! maybe you could name him after your favourite place in Canada? or even after Thierry?!
ReplyDeleteThierry is a nice idea! I think that might be his name from now on! Thanks for the suggestion!!! :-)
DeleteLovely photographs of you both. :-)
