It was from a wonderful girl named Sara who has been one of my best etsy customers & who has become a wonderful blogging friend, too...
I sort of knew this was coming...after all, Sara did need my address...
...but I had no idea what would be in the box...Sara had mentioned she wanted to send something to the kids for the start of school as a way to say thank you to me for the clothes I had made for her little girl...(a thank you to me...can you believe that? She's the one who deserves to be thanked...profusely).
I opened the top of the box and this is the first thing I saw...
She had me at this view...vintage linens...awesome fall colors. wow. (this sheet was Sara's grandmother's..)
And this is what was inside...
Here's a close-up of the tee...
Vintage Lucy's is one of those shops that I've always wanted to buy something from...but never have for two reasons...#1: I'm too darn cheap...#2: The selection is so vast & so amazing, I'd never be able to choose...
And this is the tea towel...

Oh, Sara, how is it that you know me sooo well & we've never even met??? I adore this towel & it matches my kitchen perfectly...
Because of this amazing, amazing thing Sara did for me and my kids, I decided to do the same for someone else...I actually got the opportunity later the same afternoon I received Sara's gift...I was able to pay it forward, and hopefully make someone as happy as Sara made us...
So now...this is my challenge to you...is there anything that you can do to pay it forward somehow? Has someone done something amazing unexpectedly for you? Can you do the same for someone else?
Sara...thank you. You rock. And so do tiaras.
