In a moment of blind narcissism I have copied a new Facebook friend’s first blog post for my readers to read…and heartily agree with. She has a unique business – one I’ve been clicking through all week – thrift shopping on line:
Instead of issuing the usual newsletter this week, I thought I would try my hand at blogging. In all honesty, this wasn’t an idea I developed on my own. I recently met someone on Facebook who writes her own newspaper articles/blogs for a living and it was at her suggestion I get out of the Stone Age. Her name is Eve Bushman and she’s the author of Eve’s Wine 101. As you can tell from the title, her expertise is in wines, so for me to ask for her help in writing a blog about an online thrift store would have been fruitless. (Pun intended)
Personally, I think it’s a plus to know someone who knows everything you’d ever want to know about wine. Trust me it is not easy to choose a wine for a special dinner – if you are anything like me anyway – wine ignorant beyond belief. To help with making my special dinner wine selection, I would often ask a grocery store clerk for their recommendation. The irony is most of the clerks are even more ignorant than I am. At least I know where they keep the wine. I’m sure I’ll be chastised for attempting to buy a ‘good’ wine at a grocery store. But hey, I already admitted I know nothing about wine. Nada, zip, nil, NOTHING.
So even though wine doesn’t have anything to do with our online thrift store, other than us having some wine glasses for sale, I hope you’ll take a few minutes to read Eve’s blog and see for yourself how much she really does know about wine.
