Over the past couple of months I have been lucky enough to get to know Ronda Carman, the founder of All The Best Blog. After initially meeting at a blog-convention in the city more than a year ago, I was blown away when she emailed me a ‘nice to meet’ note before the PR girl got the chance to send one. We’ve been friends ever since and meet up whenever Ronda is in town. (She’s a former Texan now based in Scotland). Her blog is truly one of my favorite reads – from the Sunday Soup recipe to her list of ‘must-know’ designers, she is always one step ahead of what is hot ‘n happening around the world.
Ronda Carman, Paul Hooker and me
So when she got appointed as a ‘blog brand ambassador’ for the luxury linen brand, SFERRA, you know that something’s up! Last night I joined Ronda and some of New York’s hottest designers (Hello, Michael Devine!) at dinner with the president of SFERRA Linens, Paul Hooker. It was an evening filled with great wine, delicious food and really solid company. And it gave me such hope to hear about the great charity work that Paul and his company does. Here is the President of a really successful American-owned company that find the time and money to help those less fortunate by building two wheelchair-accessible playgrounds, getting involved in the Project Smile and countless other initiatives – while also keeping his staff happy! What a guy.
If you have never read Ronda’s blog, be sure to add it to your list of favorites – she is not only the hottest blogger out there, but also someone I now consider a friend. And that makes me a very lucky girl!
You are the BEST!
