Unnecessary Kindnesses....

I have been blessed with some very unnecessary kindnesses.....

A dragonfly from Myra at My Mother's Daughter:

Myra makes these wonderful creatures from "found objects" - his body is actually the spindle of a 100-year old chair.....She had a giveaway on her blog for one, and ended up making one for EVERYONE who entered her giveaway.  (He will spend his summers in my flower garden....but, given the inclement weather here in Nod these days, he's acclimating himself to the indoors where he'll be spending his winter days.....He seems particularly fond of pumpkins.....)

Myra also included some beautiful bittersweet (thinking a A Little Raggedy Angie might have had a whole lot to do with THAT!!):

 In any event, thank you so much Myra (and my raggedy friend)!!! I ADORE my dragonfly and....oh I so love bittersweet!!)....

And....a week or so ago, I received an email from Jackie at Bliss Farm Antiques.  I had entered a giveaway she recently had, but had not won....But she wanted to thank me for having taken the time to congratulate the winner....

A few days this arrived in the mail:

  

WOW!!! I LOVE these!!! Old tin, old wood, together in kitchen GADGETS!!! Woo Hoo!!! How perfect is THAT?!!!  It truly touched me that Jackie wanted to thank me for something so small - and actually took the time to even get to know what sorts of things I like (and got it SOOO right!), and picked out such special treasures for me....Thank you so much Jackie!  Talk about unnecessary kindness....

Lastly, but certainly not leastly......I received another very special package in the mail this past week (yeah, it's been a very good mail week!)....It, too, started with an email.....from someone whose blog I relatively recently started following.  "She" asked if I would give her my address - and not ask questions.  Well, you know....now you just tested this crow's limits....After I ascertained "she" wasn't asking just a hypothetical question and she assured me "she" would not send anything "nasty," I did, in fact, give her may addy....and "she" sent me the most wonderful package....

A handmade "crow" basket (it has a sweet liner that I neglected to photograph...bad crow...); a darling little crow pinkeep; a cuter-than-cute pumpkin pillow tuck; and....ahhh....sweet, Sweet Annie.....

....And a little crow on a pumpkin mat.....

LOVE EVERY STINKIN' THING!!!

I'm still not entirely certain "why...."  "She" said she thought of me when she came on these things....and she certainly "gets" me and what makes my heart smile....So, I'm leaving it at that - no questions asked.  (Lesson: Sometimes questions aren't a good thing!)  "She" is a blessing to me and one of the kindest people I've met in this journey.  An unnecessary kindness that touched my heart deeply.  And "she" wishes to remain anonymous....

Thank you Sweet Anonymous.....You made my heart sing....

Wishing you many "unnecessary kindnesses...."
