I met Elyse Major several years ago, when I found her lovely frames on Etsy. Then I discovered her blog Tinkered Treasures and was hooked.
Decorating ideas, articles from magazines that she has written, crafts, and beautiful posts. When she mentioned that she loved You've Got Mail I knew that Elyse was a kindred spirit.
Elyse wrote about how this book came to be in a lovely article called Wish Out Loud.
Most recently she has written a series of posts about her amazing trip to London and Paris.
Last week Elyse had a book signing at Barnes and Noble in Rhode Island, and I got to finally meet her. She is as lovely in person as she appears on her blog.
After reading about Elyse's exciting adventure, I take away a lovely life lesson, that perhaps we all should try...
You can find Elyse's next book event at the Garden City Center Art Festival on June 8th and 9th from ten AM until Five PM.
I am linking to Mosaic Monday, hosted by Mary at Little Red House.
and Pink Saturday, Bev from How Sweet The Sound is hosting.
Hello Karen,
I haven't visited Elyse's blog in some time and you have inspired me to go pay a visit. It's lovely when you get to meet someone you feel is a kindred spirit. One of my all-time favourite movies is You've Got Mail. Enjoyed your post and have a beautiful day.
Blessings,
Sandi
Karen, you should share this for Pink Saturday. Elise is a Pinkie, and everyone will be happy for her.
Karen, this is lovely, indeed. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hope you are having a good Sunday.
Love from Florida...

How fun to meet her! And look at you peeking out behind her:>) I love your smile Karen! I think as long as we have the courage to try we can make our dreams come true, the sticking point seems to be the courage. I find I have more of it the older I get.
Lovely post and review on Elisa's book. It must have been nice to meet her in person. I will go and check out her blog. Thanks for sharing, wishing you a happy week ahead.
Looks like a very pretty book. Valerie
How fantastic is THIS!
Karen, you look so happy and beautiful and what a blessing that Elyse is a success; her art is outstanding and I was hoping to do something like this in my lifetime, but we shall see. I have so much to figure out.
Much love Karen! Anita
Hi Karen, How wonderful to meet a blogging friend in person and what makes it extra special is her signing a book for you. I have never been to this blog so I am off for a visit. Take care and have a great week:)
Delightful post and fun photography ! Love the creations!
Elyse's book looks lovely and I read her WOL post which is inspiring.
How nice to finally meet her and share your photos; bloggers are so supportive of each other.

How awesome! And you look as cute as can be, too! What a fun meeting and neat mosaics! Blogging has sure led me to meet some interesting people over the years! What a blessing!
I've followed Elyse's blog for some time and am so thrilled with her success. How lovely that you were able to meet her.
Hi Karen,
Oh I love this post and I just have to go over and meet Elyse. Her book looks delightful and one I know I would enjoy. Love the pic of you two together. Special memories.
Thank you for sharing.
Have a wonderful week.
Hugs, CM
This is such a lovely post about Elyse. She's a favorite of mine, too and I love the book. The You've Got Mail connection sealed it for me, too. Maybe we should create a following like the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The YGM fans probably know all of the lines.

Dearest Karen!
Glad to see you today my dear. I was just looking at your lavender fields watercolour painting this morning and was thinking fondly of you. I am putting you on my list RIGHT NOW for the France Party! Your contribution will be fabulous! Anita
I am visiting via Mosaic Monday. I will be back to read more just based on the photos of your blog header.
I have followed Tinkered Treasures for awhile and have been waiting to get the book. I retire in 5 weeks so I will have the time to do each of the crafts.
I will be back.
Thank you for directing me to a new blog - I look forward to visiting Elyse's posts.
Karen, what fun! We're you photo bombing Elyse? Too cute! She has a charming blog. I will have to return and visit it again over tea.
Oh, Karen, how I love to visit your blog to learn new things and see all the beauty! Elyse's book is definitely on my wish list now! Anybody who loves "You've Got Mail"is definitely a kindred spirit!
Have a lovely weekend,
Robin
