Gifts from forum friends!
Last week, when the grandkids were here from Jackson, I got a package in the mail. They were excited to open it, especially when I mentioned that it came from Cathy/Mustangs, in Florida. They very helpfully ripped it open for me, LOL.
This is what I found:
Elery's granddaughter, Jamison, has already used the "kid sized mitt/pot holder, she made her first loaves of Frisian bread while she was here on spring break. The salt is for good luck, and the stainless steel towel holders will probably end up in that small bathroom, as hooks for towels or robes, since I don't have anything in there yet. Makayla thinks the "chicken sign" will make perfect advertising bling for her farmstand this summer and we got a very nice note besides.
A day or two later, an envelope came from Chicago, Peppi sent me seeds for Wisconsin 55 tomatoes and some Chinese cabbage. Elery already foresees Kimchi in his future, and the tomatoes are in my "grow facility". It has been mentioned by Elery's son that I'm the only person he knows that actually grows legal things with those lights, LOL.
So, thank you so much, Cathy and Peppi, your gifts have already been put to good use!

A Touching Gift from a Garden Junk Friend
Comments (6)What a gorgeous ornament, and an incredible gift. It almost made me cry too! I like that you have it in the doggy den to watch over Marley. It is so special and now you can see it every day and not just at Christmas. Your doggy den turned out really nice. Tho doesn't Toeby consider it a "cat house"? LOL. I am so glad you plan to get Marley a friend, he will really love that. Goldens are such dear, sweet dogs. (my son, Jason, has one that is almost 10 yrs old.) Chelcass, you are so talented as well as a sweet, generous friend. hugs, Karen...See MoreWANTED: On my way to the beach/ocean..thanks Michelle!!

LOL So that makes only 3 things!!!LOL...See MoreMy latest find - an unexpected gift from a friend !
Comments (22)Thank you everyone for all the lovely compliments. I agree it was so very thoughtful and DH would've never agreed to another piece of furniture for this room. I love the idea of a thank you pie! I think she would appreciate the significance of it as well. She said she used to have my style before marriage, but after marriage she and her DH bought a more contemporary home and have furnished it that way. I asked her again if I could pay her for the table, but she declined and in fact, gave me a picture as well. I'm thinking of inviting the family over for a barbecue dinner next weekend so she can see it place and our husbands can get to know one another better. She is a very creative person herself and has sewn many furnishings throughout her home. It always fun when you find a friend in the parent of your child's friend......See MoreA visit from Forum Friends
Comments (27)We don't seem to get together as much as we used to, John, and I miss my friends. Sherry/sheshebop also stopped a couple of weeks ago, she's moved since her husband passed away. She only spent one night, because Elery and I had to leave for Tennessee, his BIL passed away from cancer the day Sherry arrived. So, she spent the night and the next morning she started north for Nancy/wizardnm and we started south. I was sorry to cut that visit short. Annie...See More

We are opposites in several ways, maybe that's why we have fun together.
Good idea Lars. My Lily (8 year old) loves coloring and is very good at it. This is the white pillow I bought her; she did an amazing job coloring it.
