Today I received a package in the mail.
It took 6 weeks to arrive.
But it was worth it. A beautiful doily fashioned into an envelope and tied up with the most lovely ribbon then adorned with a safety pin holding a collection of wonderful charms.
A Bright BirthdayMay all your hours be gladsome
And filled with Joy untold
And everything your heart desires
This day for you unfold.
Beautiful cards from a beautiful blogger.
Sweet images, a calendar, lace, buttons, crocheted goodness. I LOVE EVERYTHING and am so honored to be gifted with such treasures.

In my first months of blogging, I remember stumbling onto Jodie's blog Everything Vintage . I took a tour through her studio given by the lovely Sophie and was mesmerized by her work area, her writing and her humor. Having lived in Louisiana most of my life, I felt a connection to this Cajun girl who has the ability to make me laugh my butt off. I've oohed and awed over her beautiful creations, photography and crafting genius, and shared in her sorrow when she lost her father. This girl just makes you love her! I know that anyone who has "met" her, real or virtually, feels the same. She's a girl who pays attention to detail! Look what else she included in my birthday box of goodies! MY FAVORITE ...
Red Heart yarn! Love, love, love it! JODIE you are ONE OF A KIND and I love ya! Thanks so much for my fabulous surprise package! It came at just the right time because today started our Spring Break. We don't go back to school until April 5th. Woohoo!!!!
I hope that you are all having a terrific Thursday! Wishing you many blessings, much joy and beautiful friendships! Tammy

Yay! Great package,Tammy. Great timing, too, with the "worries" about the bod. Take care and crochet up a storm :D
What a wonderful gift obviously shopped for and sent with love. A true friend is a precious treasure. Belated Happy Birthday.
The cards and images are beautiful, and being a knitter, I know how a skeins of yarn can make your heart skip a beat...oh the possibilities....
I'm away for a few days and look what you got. Do I see a fun ripple coming with all that RH yarn. Feels a little like the US. doesn't it....
Hugs,
Kate
How nice to know that you finally got Jodie's box. I know you have been looking for that for a while. I have little doubt that you will enjoy the yarn and everything in it. Too bad for the boys if they planned on doing anything during spring break. Mom is going to be crocheting... HA!
Have a great weekend!
Love,
Renee
Congratulations, Tammy. That was a wonderful present. Sincerely, Susan

Such a sweet friend you have and lovely little treasures she sent! Enjoy! I really enjoy your blog and am now following along! Deb
What a sweet thing to get something from someone that you didn't expect. Friendship comes from places that we would least expect it. She sounds like a wonderful person and now I will have to check out her blog to see about this wonderful person that has put a smile on your face. You are truly blessed to meet such wonderful people.
