Introducing....Nostalgic Press! (pssst...a Giveaway too!)



Stacey and Dana of Nostalgic Press

I couldn't wait another day to tell you about a business venture that my friends Dana and Stacey have begun!

But..

Before I do - I'll give you a little background on how I know these wonderful gals.

I met Dana back in - gosh - it must have been 1998 or so, at a Women's Conference.

Weird like I am - I met her - and said 'I have a feeling we are going to be great friends'.

Sometimes I just know things.

It's hard to describe.

I mean - KNOW things.

Disclaimer - yes..I'm fat - but I'm in no way as fat as that blouse-y get up makes me appear - really!  I wasn't!

Anyhoo - we formed a fast and fun friendship.

We enjoyed each other's company often - and there were always tears - mostly from laughter - some from sharing our hearts - but it was always so, so, so good.

I adore her.

We took road trips to Minnesota to see Sarah Brightman in concert - 







We'd go camping together and keep the whole campground up while we giggled at 2am by the fire.

And cooking?

She's one of the few friends that I have that adores cooking like I do.

We could talk til the end of the earth about things like Gnocchi with Sage Butter, and Flourless Chocolate Cake with Marscapone.

She gets me.

And then she got something else.

A bug up her butt to move to California to go to Culinary School.

Ya.

I forgot to mention that she's selfish.
She done up and left me in or around the year 2000.



We had our belly buttons pierced together (well - not TOGETHER - but at the same time) right before she left for California as our 'friendship rings'.



I had the pleasure of visiting her in San Pedro, California a couple of times. Once was in September of 2001.

I was actually there when the planes hit the Twin Towers and my goodness...it was a nightmare getting home.

A very somber visit, and sadly my last visit so far.

I was blessed to meet her friend Stacey while I was there - and all I can say about Stacey is this - you can't say enough about her.  There is no way.  You can't begin to put into words the fabulosity of this girl.

She's Snow White and Emily Dickinson all rolled up into a petite ethereal bite of sugar.

Well...Dana and Stacey have gone and started a wonderful business....

They are both lovers of all things vintage - and they have offered to give away a box of cards here on me olde blog!

Take a look at some of their offerings:
