From Across The Pond - Thanks, Charlette!

Yes, indeed! A BIG thank you to Charlette, whose name I saw on the package that showed up in my mailbox yesterday.  I was so busy getting things set up at Mum’s retirement home that I could not open it till very late last night.  When I finally pulled it from my bag at the end of the day, it added much pleasure to another very difficult day. Your gesture touched my heart, Charlette!  ♥


You can see that a certain someone is also most appreciative of the kind gesture...  : )

Another nice thing happened to me yesterday.  I WON the draw over at Pamela’s blog, here at Needle Tatting and Other Nonsense. I jumped at the chance to win one of this designer’s fabulous tatted pieces.

Pamela’s blog was one of the first tatting blogs I found back when I didn’t know the difference between a shuttle and a needle, let alone anything about something called a split ring or an HDT! I fell in love with her designs as I found them simple enchanting.  Go have a look if you do not know what I mean. She is the best!

Then, get this!  I hardly ever buy a lottery ticket, but a stranger advised me to buy one for the largest draw in Canadian Lottery history last week worth a staggering $50,000,000. I thought the words might just be a sign...

Well. I suppose they were, for when I went to check the numbers at the kiosk (I had already looked online and knew I had missed the big one, where I had a one in twenty million chance of walking away with the biggie) and the machine told me I had won something.  I was so excited!  Oh yah.  I won a free ticket.

Hmmm.  $50,000,000  ------------------- a free ticket.       Hmmmmmm.

The Universe sure works in strange and often wryly ironic ways! 

I’ll gratefully take what I get and give many, many thanks!  : ))
