The past week I have been thinking a lot about how blessed I feel to have a community of femmes from all over the world in my life and mailbox.  I'm a big penpall person and just in the last month I've had wonderful package swap with a dear Irish Femme friend of mine and the sweetest typewritten letter from a Femme friend in Canada.

Last week I had the exciting experience of getting to meet a femme friend who I've known online for years and years but who I'd never met in person.  She was visiting NYC from Australia and was able to make time in her schedule to come over for dinner! We had a wonderful wonderful time chatting about community, and all sorts of fun things.  Before leaving she told me she had some gifts for me! One of them was the fantastic bag you see me carrying above (which has turned into my current favorite purse) it's a bag from the Sydney Femme Guild whose logo I'm absolutly in love with (notice the fisted proper lady glove?!?!?!) which I have since been carrying everywhere with me

I'm now thinking of ways to pull together an Australian tour in the next few years because the Femmes Guild sounds like a fantstic group of folks I'd love to collaborate with!
