A gift I'll always treasure...that's why I'm making it my treasure for Treasures and Trinkets Thursday!

How many of you have had days that were just horrible?

I was having that kind of week last week..

ALL. WEEK. LONG.

I was in the middle of having one of those days

when I heard the doorbell ring.

Now, to get to my main story, I have to tell you a funny

story first.  I had ordered some priority boxes from

the post office for a future endeavor (you'll find out more about that later too!),

and had been waiting on them forever! I called the post office

to find out if maybe they were there and I hadn't been informed.

They said "no".  Hmm...maybe the order didn't go through I thought,

so I ordered them again.  Meanwhile, I get an email saying something

about them being held, so I called this number explained everything and they released my order.

???? who knows what the deal was????

Anyway, I told him I had placed another order to make sure

he canceled the first one.

Sooo....to make a long story short,

the day the door bell rang, I told Lincoln, my son,

to go get the door.  Well, I heard all this noise downstairs and

went to check it out.  He was standing there among

10 big boxes!!! 

Oh, dear...it was the post lady, the post office sent BOTH orders of boxes!

So here I am going through all these stacks of boxes and

I'm getting a little frustrated, (remember I'm already having a bad day) when

all of a sudden I move a box and notice there's a box in there

that's a little different looking than the rest.

I look to see who it's addressed to and it's ME......

THEN I noticed who it was from and

I just sat down in the floor among all those

boxes to open it up and take a look.

This is what I found....

I promise you I almost cried when I saw it.

My sweet, sweet friend Deborah, from The Fairfield House

had sent me a gift.

She knows me so well..just look at those pink roses on that bag!

I took the bag out of the box and slowly opened up

the little card..  It simply said, "to Missy, Just Because."

I had not been touched so deeply in a long time and
I hadn't even looked in the bag yet!

But when I did open it, I found these.....

Does Deborah know me or what??!!

Pink dish towels and rose covered pot holders!

(See, I told you I was sitting in the floor...

I just yelled for one of my boys to bring me my

camera and I sat right there and started this post!)

:)

I ran right to the kitchen and took a picture

to show you guys just how wonderful they look in there!

See, they match my cookware and salt and pepper holders.

(actually, they match everything in my sweet little pink kitchen!)

Here's where they are now....

They will be living on the end of my island that

I love so much!

I have such wonderful and dear friends!

See the flowers on the island?

Another friend, here in my hometown,

knew I was having a rough week too

and sent me flowers the next day!

I am truly blessed.

Thank you Deborah, I appreciate your kindness

more than you'll ever know!

Hugs and Blessings!
Missy
