A photo for Jane

The first comment that I ever made on a blog
was on Snapdragon's Garden.

I can clearly remember the moment.

I filled in the comment box
and then paused.

It seemed such a leap in the dark
to press the publish button.

When I did publish the comment
I felt completely panicked.

I am not sure what I was worried about
but I knew that I had stepped
into a new world.

Jane has a business selling flowers
and handmade goods
and recently offered to send
a handmade button
in return for a photograph
for her new brochure.

Here is my offering:

Jane's badge
on my plate
with viola from my windowbox.

There is a postscript to this story:

The first envelope was emptied en route
and so I phoned Jane to let her know.
It seemed such a natural thing to do
because we have 'known' each other
for over two years now.

Thank you for your friendship, Jane,
and good luck with the brochure!

Jane is a wonder, and clearly, you are, as well.

Isn't it incredible how connections can be made via the ether?

Cheers!

Lovely badge from Snapdragon and lovely photo that you created. It's such a fun project. I am waiting for my badge to arrive but it has such a long way to come.

It does seem so difficult to make the first few comments but when you find that people are so friendly- you wonder what you worried about.

I remember leaving my first comment on Yarnstorm and from that moment I was hooked. I think the viola border sets Jane's delivery off perfectly! Shame I missed the giveaway, I think we were on holiday. Love Salx

What beautiful pictures, makes me want to do something similar to my mum's hydranger (? I gave it about five goes and still wasn't happy trying to spell it!) next time I'm home and they are in bloom

I love your photos. And I share the same feeling in my first comment ever on a blog, Bb's. The world I entered is a magical one, filled with the nicest people, whom I wish I can all meet one day in person.
