The generosity and kindness of people in the blogging community never cease to amaze me.
Last week the postman brought a thick envelope from Bookie in Missouri. Her blog is Claudia's Page.
Inside was this box.
She knows I love miniatures of all kinds and sent me three really amazing treasures.
There were two darling red pitchers about the size of one's baby fingernail
They had belonged to her great-great grandmother.
Also in the package was a charming little thumbnail-sized tea cup and saucer!
Can you imagine how immensely happy that gesture made me? I looked at the little items through tears of gratitude.
Yesterday, another totally unexpected package came in the mail Linda in Oregon! Her blog is Lady Linda.
She included adorable handmade Valentine cards, one for me and a teeny tiny one for the dolls! (Linda knows I have a collection of dolls that I love.)
The "big" one is shown at the top of this post.
She also included three lovely pieces of Valentine candy that looks way too beautiful to eat.
The cameo could hang on the end of a necklace if it weren't pink candy!
Linda included a tea bag, too, and I can't wait to try that pomegranate raspberry tea!
These lovely, unexpected gifts from dear blogging peeps came even before Valentine's Day arrived and they filled my heart with love.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN SURPRISED BY FRIENDS IN BLOGLAND?
Yes, by you my friend! :)

The generosity of people amazes me and I wish they'd report more about the good stories than all the bad stuff! Love to you, XOXO
ReplyDeleteI think people in blog land are some of the most generous and beautiful people in the world.
ReplyDeleteYour gifts are very beautiful and will be cherished by you for years.
Real maple syrup from Vermont came in the mail one day from a blog friend...I think you know who it is...ha! I enjoy my Saturday morning pancakes with it almost weekly!
ReplyDeleteSince I'm not a blogger, I do not receive gifts from blogland, but I have received some wonderfully unexpected gifts from Facebook friends! One friend has pecans growing in her yard, and she sent me FOUR POUNDS of them, already shelled, last fall!! Her hubby is disabled, but he had helped her shell them, which makes them even more special to me. It's wonderful how God sends such special people into our lives to enrich our experience on the earth! Love all these precious gifts, Susan!! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy dear friend, you make me blush. I am so honored to be featured on your beautiful blog! Your blog inspires me and I love to visit as often as I can!!!! You have helped me to improve my blog. I have been surprised by friends in blogland, but the friendships I have made are the BETTER than any gift!
ReplyDeleteLove ya,
Linda

ReplyDeleteThe cameo candy looks like the real thing! I didn't take pictures of the little red pitchers so hope you will let me copy these as they are so good. You had a good week at mail call! Good for you...
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I just got a few goodies in the mail from bloggy friends, and I love getting surprises. The candy cameo is sweet, and the miniature tea cup and pitcher I love. Do you know that Jess has a thing for miniatures too? What nice gifts that your bloggy friends gave to you. Happy Valentine's Day, Susan.
