Hello, lovely ladies!
I found this picture at an antique store this weekend. I loved
how she was clutching her doll and her little wrinkled socks.
The picture just pulled at my heartstrings. Isn't that one of the things that get us
when we are collectors, darn heartstrings!
I just finished another baby blanket that happened to be a special order for my friend
Sarita. It is baby blue and brown. It was so sweet of Sarita to order this from me. She often buys Lindsey's tags, too!
I first met Sarita one day when I checked my emails and had one titled 'I love your blog!'
I first met Sarita one day when I checked my emails and had one titled 'I love your blog!'
She introduced herself and told how she enjoyed our blog so much that she had read all the way back to the beginning! We were so touched. Sarita and I have continued to email one another ever since.
If you read our comments you'll see her name pop up. She doesn't have a blog herself. Sure wish she did!
I was overwhelmed when she sent me this shadowbox. She lovingly put together items that had been in her own mother's sewing box. Do you know how special that is to me?!
Each little item has a story and it means so much that Sarita shared these with me. I will treasure it the rest of my life.
Blogging has been so wonderful because it has brought so many wonderful ladies into my life.
Thank you all for stopping by today!
Have a wonderful week!
Love, Twyla
Oh Twyla...that shadow box is just beautiful and so meaningful! It will always be so special!
ReplyDeleteOh wow - that is such a pretty shadow box - perhaps one of the loveliest I have ever seen. It really makes you think doesn't it? How jolly special we all are to each other, and how comforting it is to know there is such unity in the world between people who sometimes don't need to meet to know they are cared about.

Such a little darling she is! I feel that sometimes these vintage pictures can tell me an entire story. Or, at least I fantasize about the life story of the people on the picture.
