Really great idea. I love reading missed connections, but typically because they're funny, not because they're sweet. These are just too much! It's so true that sometimes you don't have enough guts to tell someone they've caught your eye...

Oh my! I think this is my all time favorite thing I've found through your blog (aside from your own work of course). <3

So glad to know I'm not the only person curious about those Missed Connections! Love that Ms. Blackall has used them as artistic inspiration. Can't wait to see more of her work...headed over to her site now. Thanks, Elsie! ;)

Wow, so cute. I want one!
Although I do find the last one curious, why does the man have a knife in his back pocket?

These are great! it is nice to live in the fantasy that your missed connection is not a terrifying weirdo. The Swan Bike is lovely: thanks for sharing!
