It has been such fun getting parcels, although the queuing at the Post Office, not so much fun for my hubby.
Anyway, cutting to the chase, on Tuesday night I got home from work, tired and cranky and just looked at the pile of items, but didn't check them. I was just not in the mood.
So imagine my utter delight when last night I opened a box that I thought was the FootKiss products
to find lots of those polystyrene thingys
and hidden beneath them was not my FootKiss products but this!!!
A Grosvenor Fine Bone China set - and believe me,
these photos do not do this justice.
Isn't it beautiful - tears swelled in my eyes as I knew even before reading the note, who this was from - the beautiful Tanya at MadMother.
Earlier this year I posted about getting me some pretty. Tanya had recently lost her Mum and she generously offered to send me something of her Mums (Wise Woman). I had all but forgotten the offer with every else going on in my life, but not MM. She has struggled with Wise Woman's death and it is only now she is finding the strength to return to her Mother's house and start to pack up all the memories. Something I know that I too will struggle with when my Mum leaves this earth. And yet, she remembered me and her promise, even with all she is dealing with ...
So Tanya, from the bottom of my heart I thank you, not only for sharing part of Wise Woman with me by sending me this generous gift but for these words as well ....
I chose this set because it reminded me of you, bright and beautiful, fragile and yet strong.
Much love to you, Big Boy, Boy 1 and Boy 2 and may you have a Christmas and New Year filled with all things wonderful xxxx
p.s. I think I used a box of tissues writing this post, that is how much my heart is touched by your beautiful spirit.
