Can you imagine a better welcome than this? I got to spend the day with Kim of Daisy Cottage! A big Welcome, Rhoda waiting for me in Kim’s diningroom AND a precious pup that I could not resist holding like a baby. Girls, I have to tell you that Kim is all you would expect her to be AND more. You know how warm, genuine, and sweet she is on her blog? Well, multiply that by 10 and you’ve got it. Kim and I clicked immediately and it truly was like we had known each other forever. We really have known each other online for probably 5 years now and have gotten to know a lot about each other’s personal lives and meeting in person just solidifies all of that. What an absolutely wonderful day I had with Kim. If you have never visited Kim’s blog (which I can’t imagine that you have not), you have to…now!
Kim so graciously gave me a precious coffee cup. She didn’t even know that I had secretly wished for one of these ever since I saw it on her blog. Thank you, Kim! I’ll think of you everytime I have my coffee.

I’m so glad you and Kim got to meet and had such a wonderful time. The photos are awesome. I was born in Lakeland. My brother and sister-in-law had a home in area there just like you describe. Their’s was a large historical two-story house though. We once visited them and went together to a Goodwill near them that sat on a hill overlooking a small lake. It was the nicest Goodwill I’ve ever been to. Wonder if it was the same one you visited. xoxo

I so enjoyed reading this! I knew it would be nothing less than fantastic when the two of you got together. Kim, now you know why Rhoda is so well-loved. Being that you are adored as well, I knew the two of you would have much in common and lots to share with each other. Call me envious! I love when friends get together and have a charmed day like this!
Sher says
Great to know the two of you had such a good time! Makes me want to head out on a road trip!

These pictures make we want to rearrange all my “stuff” as my man calls it!
It’s a rainy dark day here in Atlanta, and this has just brightened it up for me!
Have a wonderful weekend.

Sounds like you had a great time Rhoda! You lucky girls. It’s so fun to meet people that you can instantly click with and have such rapport. Nice creamware finds also. Oh Thanks for the pound cake recipe. I’ll be trying it Sunday for family game night. WAHOO! Strawberries are in season. Gotta run. Take care.
