Heather & Erin
My husband will hate this statement, but I love Facebook. He's totally on board with Twitter, but really dislikes (and refuses to use) Facebook. I don't use any of the apps or send hugs (sometimes I will return them because I feel bad for ignoring them) or build farms or anything. But, I love the idea that you can reconnect with people that you've known over the years and really see what people have been up to. Inevitably, you will run across people you probably didn't like very much when you knew them before, but you never know what people are like now. So, I try to be friends with everyone and sometimes hide notifications for people with statuses I regularly dislike. It's a very neutral way to be friendly, without a lot of effort. And, we are all SO busy these days that we need ways to keep in touch without a lot of effort, right? (I think this is part of what my husband objects to. He thinks if a relationship is worth having, it's worth the effort. Which I agree with on some levels, but...) I'm always excited, though, when I see people on there that I have missed, or really enjoyed knowing when I knew them. Do you do that too? Do you like social media in its various forms?
One of these people was Libby Hopper. I've been friends with her brother Dan for a long time, in real life and on Facebook. I don't know why it didn't occur to me to see if Libby was part of his friends list. (That actually almost never occurs to me, to look for people.) But, Facebook is super cool for suggesting people that you might want to be friends with. Libby popped up, and I was excited. See, Dan and I dated a couple of times in middle school (if you can call it dating) and high school. Libby was his younger sister. She was young enough that we never really hung out, but I could tell even then that she'd end up being a really cool person. She was always nice and genuine and those are my favorite kinds of people. I was checking out her profile and found she has an Etsy shop, Goldeluxe.
My kind of girl ;) So, I follow the link to her shop and it's so fun! This is my favorite necklace she's made!
Super cute, right? She makes jewelry with vintage finds. I love the idea of using vintage items in crafts and especially jewlery, but I really love Libby's results! I'm usually not even a big fan of gold jewelry, but these are such fun combinations...
Have you found that some people from your past are really fun, creative people? Do you love Facebook, Twitter and the like? I'd love to "meet" some of the creative people you know! Comment with a link below and I'll pop on over sometime :)

PS - This is one of the posts I promised for last week, but I messed it up and had to redo it before it posted. Sorry! I'm trying to figure out HTML and I keep breaking things in Blogger ;)
PPS - I should've known that Libby would be a crafty girl because she made me a homemade birthday card once. She's super sweet that way ;)
