Caffeine and Serendipity

Something happened to me today that doesn’t seem to happen very often in adult life: I made a new friend!

But let me back up. One night back in early December I was experiencing one of those Etsy-comas (I almost fell into another one merely clicking to the website to grab that link) characterized by acute wantyness and keyboard drooling. Somehow, I came across these beautiful note cards and bought them for my mom, who is a very creative soul.

The artist emailed me to confirm the order, and it turns out that she lives not only in Chicago, but in my neighborhood! What are the chances? We met today at Jarvis Square’s spooneristic Dagel and Beli. I drank a latte in the afternoon. (Can you tell?) It seems we have an awful lot in common, including love for Jane Eyre and the family who brought you Jane Eyre.

Nice to meet you, Sarah!
