Isn't she pretty as a picture?Fiona is the coolest thing I ever found on Craigslist. Her husband walked into my house last year to buy some cool chairs and ended up giving my husband his business card on the way out the door (do I smell a "bro-mance"?) After closing my store in September, I got the nerve up to call him for a creative job but when I went to meet him in person he decided I was better suited to work for myself (a-hem, you can't write shit like this all day at Weiden & Kennedy!) But more importantly, he thought I should have coffee with his wife and apply for the job of BFF. His instincts were right.One of Fiona's famous "free" finds! We went on a blind date and when I saw her standing at the counter with her Orla Keily purse that she found for $5 at a yard sale I knew I would be texting her five times a day by the end of the week. We've been hanging out ever since because we are both graphic designers with (eerily) similar taste and we're both Virgos (which means we're likely to organize your medicine cabinet if we use your bathroom.)

So I begged Fiona to be a part of Nifty Living from the start. She is the blog aficionado between the two of us but she wants it to be MY blog (because she's either chicken or battling a cough syrup addiction, you decide.) She also insists that I post at least every other day so I think it's fair that she pitches in and becomes my first contributor! Lets hope she keeps these cool posts coming, I know she's tacking up for her very own "yard sailing" section because this gal is a freakin' "bargain pirate" and finds the coolest crap ever ("ardy- har- ar!")
