online friends who become real-life friends
July 15, 2010 | Uncategorized
Sometimes you meet friends online that become real friends in real life. Felicia (Flea) has become one of those people. She’s a fledgling writer, humorous blogger, and as I just discovered a “smocker”. Smocking is a painstaking hand-made process that produces an heirloom-like quality garment. The above is the beautiful outfit that Flea created for my granddaughter-to-be.
Looking at this custom dress reminds me that there are precious people who are selfless, who are willing to invest in others, even if they’ve never met them. My daughter hasn’t seen this yet. It’s packed in my car as I wait for the phone call to drive to Texas to meet Elle.
Flea didn’t make this so that I would give a shout out about her beautiful custom-made smocked garments, but I want to do that. She gave it to me with no strings. She held out the bag and the wide smile I received when she placed it in my hands.
I can’t wait to see this on my beautiful granddaughter (who is due tomorrow!).
Check her out at the Good Flea on Etsy or email Flea Christenson for more information.

You’re so sweet! I had fun smocking for your new baby granddaughter! And she’s gorgeous. Enjoy her and nibble those toes now while you can!
