I have to say that I have the most wonderful friends. I am so blessed!
When we returned home late Saturday night from Hershey, worn out and glad to be home, I found a package in my mail box from my friend Barbara. I hoped it and found that she sent my birthday gift early (a good thing, especially with how slow the USPS has been lately). I didn’t open it right away, but wrote to her to let her know that it had arrived and to ask whether I should open it now or wait until my birthday.
She responded that I could open it whenever I wanted, so I ripped into it this morning. I starting have a bit of a down period yesterday and while I’m starting to feel better already today, I figured I could use the pick-me-up. Besides, it’s my birthday month, so close enough, right? 😉
Lo and behold, that little brat Barbara was able to get her hands on the Ashley embroidery scissors from Gingher that I was unable to find online or in my local Joann store. What a sweetheart that Barbara is!
She also stitched me a quaker hedgehog using a beautiful rainbow of colors on purple fabric, with a luscious deep purple ribbon. And she stuffed it with a lovely lavender mix which makes me want to eat it! 😆
My heart overfloweth as I sit here in tears. Thank you, my dear friend!
Oh, that is wonderful! So sweet of Barbara. 🙂
Fantastic gifts! I love the hedgehog!
I had state-side help in securing the scissors (thanks, Carol!) – but the first time I saw them, I immediately thought how perfect they are for you. And that hedgehog … it’s sure to bring a smile to even the grayest day, isn’t it? 😀 Happy, happy (early!) birthday, dear Jenna!!!!!
What a super special friend Barbara is 🙂
Happy Early Birthday 🙂
What a sweet gifty from Barbara! Enjoy your gifties!
Isn’t that sweet! I love the scissors and the colours in the hedgehog are adorable.
You are a very lucky girl!!
