A surprise in my mailbox

Post by rcperryls »

A big white envelope appeared in my mailbox Tuesday afternoon. Hélène (poppy) and Sally (Squirrel) had sent me

which Hélène had found on a day trip to France.

The Harbinger designs are beautiful and though in French, the charts are very detailed and I think I'll be able to figure it out. The teabag rest is lovely and a big improvement over the chipped saucer I am currently using :oops:. Now I will think of them every time I have my evening cup of tea (I love herbal teas in the evening).

These lovely ladies have once again proven there is nothing "virtual" about the friendships in the forum.

Thank you so very much.

Carole

I love these continental magazines. Such interesting and different designs. I have a few and I treasure them. What a lovely, lovely gift, and you are so right, Carole, nothing virtual about these friendships! :toast: :grouphug: :cloud9:

I sort of guessed that you would be able to figure out the charts ok and if not I am sure that Helene would translate the needed bit of instructions for you.. So glad you love and it and can enjoy having a change of fabric now and again. :)

That's really lovely, Carole! It's nice to go to the mailbox and find something that isn't a bill of sorts. :lol:
