I enjoyed a soft quiet Mother's Day. Patrick grilled and prepared dinner and I made a fresh rhubarb cobbler from the rhubarb that I picked up the farmers market on Saturday. I opened my trunk that's filled with old pictures and pondered tender thoughts about past days before I was a mom.
The Fed Ex man delivered a package on Saturday and I said to him, "that's funny, I haven't ordered anything to be shipped to the shop." He replied, well this is for you! I opened the package and inside a cd from one of my friends, customers. One she thought I'd enjoy playing at the hand made shop. I had to hold back some tears for her thoughtfulness and kindness.
Then some more love sprinkles, that's what I'm calling them, came later on Saturday. Another friend, customer dropped in and gave me a beautiful candle. When I stop to think about their kind gestures a smile appears on my face and a joy fills my heart. It's those sprinkles of love that really matter more than anything else.
A nice little spring rain today, but on Saturday in a small town just northeast of us a small tornado hit. Well, having said the word small and in reference to a twister, there really isn't such a thing as small. A tornado sucks up and spits out no matter what size it is. I'm praying for the community and thankful no one was injured. Thanks to another kind gesture from the towns chief of police whom drove his car through the town playing take cover announcements just minutes before the tornado hit the small town, sprinkles of love in a most protective way.
New Lemon Lavender soap is listed on the web site! The beginning of a lavender soap line I'll be working on.
The new "Hosta la Vista" decks are almost finished! The area is behind the coffee shop almost in a natural habitat. where squirrels climb and birds chirp. Lennis built the decks! I'll have some after pics to share.
The coin purses have always been a favorite. I'm making more from Liberty of London cloth. I'm fond of the sew in clasps simply because it has a more hand made look.
Enjoy caring and sharing spring days.
Warmly,
