Yesterday I was at Starbucks waiting for my coffee when I noticed that the woman standing next to me was carrying a black Lindsey! Eeeee! Being a Lindsey and Sophia lover, I quickly (but quietly) said, "I love your Lindsey!".
She glanced down at the bag and said, "oh....uh huh." Hmmm. So much for first impressions.
I tried again, "I just love the Lindsey, but truth be told, I was sad to see the large Sophia pulled off the market....it's still probably my favorite bag. Are you familiar with the Sophia too?" I asked her. " Oh yeah." she said.
Conversation is really flourishing at this time. I can just tell we're gonna be BFFs. One last try...." I just got a new Lindsey in the Aegean.....it is really beautiful and I'm so happy with it!". "Uh huh."
Ok.........time to give up. Maybe she was just having a bad day or something.....ya never know. At any rate, it's interesting, I've met people with foaches who were more enthusiastic about bag chat. Living in kind of a rural area as I do, I've never seen anyone with a Lindsey and only one Sophia.....ever. Here is my possibly first ever kindred sister in person and she turns out to be Debbie Downer. Well never mind her.......I've always got you guys
Boy, do I feel a kindred spirit to you! I grew up with a Mom who could talk to anyone, anytime. I got that trait from her and I talk to strangers All the Time. I never hesitate to compliment someone on a handbag, nail polish, haircut, etc. I think your comment to the woman in line shows you have a good personality. I agree she does not have to go on a vacation with you, but I think she was a big drip. A compliment from a stranger always makes my day. You never know when an unsolicited and sincere compliment given to a stranger could really make their day. Keep up the good work.
