I have a friend...
...a wonderful friend, who is among the amazing friends I've met through this blog. Whoever would have thought that blogging about my passions would lead to meeting other women who blog about theirs, and that we'd connect in so many ways?
This wonderful friend, Linda Sue, is an artist, and a writer, and a feeler. And, in feeling my passion for linens, lace, creating with found things, and everything old and beautiful, she thought of me when she began to let go of some of her beautiful things.
I have to say she felt, because feeling is of the heart, and generosity such as this can only come from the heart...
Do you see the beautiful birds? The delicate lace and crochet?
The bold, colorful, dainty, and sweet linens?
The whimsy? The color!
This little purse with feathers and tiny buttons made my heart sing.
Heartbreakingly beautiful!
A cutter quilt of feed sack fabric...
Not just linens, lace and crochet, but vintage fabrics, too!
So many Spring flowers that I could forget we had none outdoors this year, during our non-existent Rockies springtime!
Three boxes full, friends -- huge boxes, as you can imagine!
And while I was already overwhelmed with joy at her generosity, I came home from OK to yet another large box! Aprons, and a sweet, shabby bedspread!
Four boxes now! Full of the things that I love!
I hadn't even mentioned to Linda Sue that I was planning to have a linen trunk show this Spring, but I am, and now I have so much more to share! These beauties I'm showing you are only the pieces I've decided to keep for me and my crafts -- there is more!
But most of all: her gifts are inspiration, and fodder for my imagination, and they sit in piles like little cheerleaders, urging me to go forward and create, giving me the feeling like someone knows -- and wants me to! They are support and understanding and so many other things, not just threads and colors, beautifully woven together!
I know you know what I mean!
And there's more to show you, for Linda Sue sent other bits and bobs!
I am overwhelmed -- but in a good way!
