Imagine my surprise this evening when I looked in our mailbox and inside was a box that was addressed to ME! Jeff has been ordering faucets to display vessel sinks, so we have gotten quite a few boxes lately. I saw the return address and it was from blogger friend Linda Starr.
There was also another surprise in the mailbox. Potter friend Stephanie Young is on a mission to walk everyday. The distance from her house to the post office is perfect for her to get some exercise. She decided it would be more fun to have something to mail everyday. Her mission is to send a vintage postcard from her collection to someone different each day. Today was my day to receive one. It's a card from Rosiclare, IL and the photo is of fluorite crystals. Interesting that this is the subject. It compliments Linda's tower, and Linda is a collector of rocks, driftwood, and all things from nature.
It is truly a gift to have so many talented and thoughtful friends.
P.S. Linda also sent some of those Cherokee Black beans that she wrote about the other day. Now that's a perpetual gift.
Such a nice surprise !

ReplyDeleteGosh, the walk to the post office is wonderful idea!
I remembered you liked this piece and I thought you'd enjoy it, of course it's for both you and Jeff, did you get the beans? I hope you can plant them next year with Lori and I too to see how they'll do.
ReplyDeleteYes Linda, I did get the beans! I am hoping for a bigger garden next year. Thank you again for your generous gifts.
ReplyDeleteLaurie, thank you for posting the grilled peaches recipe!
ReplyDeleteLinda is so sweet and thoughtful. It looks like we both got some wonderful surprises from her.
