Sometimes You Feel Like a Schmuck......

See this lady????

Unless you live in a cave or under a rock somewhere...

chances are....

you know who she is.

In the event that you don't,

she is Heather Bullard.

Queen of blogging

and vintage living.

Heather Bullard is the reason I started

to read blogs in the first place.

Somehow, I stumbled upon a pic

on the internet from her blog.

I was intrigued to say the least.

So began a year long routine of stalking.

Every evening I would sit down to my computer

and see what Heather had done next.

She is my blogging idol.

I have always wanted to meet her and tell her

how much she has influenced me

and inevitably changed my life.

Fast forward........

to Warrenton....

to Theresa's blog party.

A woman walks up and shakes my hand

and says "Hi. I'm Heather."

Me:  "Do you have a blog?"

Heather:  "Yes. It's called Vintage Living."

Me:  "Oh. I've read that blog. It's nice."

Heather:  "Thanks."

End of conversation.

I don't know if it was the fact that I was

trying to hurry and see everyone before I had to drive back home

or the Jack Daniels in my mason jar...

either way....

I TOTALLY blew off the one woman I wanted to meet!!

I didn't even recognize her and she was right in front of me.

GEEEEEEEESSSSSSSHHHHH!

As I was walking to my car,

I caught a side profile of Heather

from far off.

THAT's when I thought it might be her.

I actually asked The Divine Mr. M

if I should run across the field

like some crazed lunatic

and try to get her attention

as she was leaving too.

Mr. M just stared at me....

(insert crickets chirping)

Heather,

if you just happen to be reading this....

I'm sooooo sorry.

You are such an inspiration to me

and I only wish that I could have told you

that you are the bee's knees.

I'm just gonna have to wait until

I hopefully meet Heather again.

Until then....

my new name is

Angélique

Schmuckately.
