Cheerful Pick Me Up
Thank you for the outpouring of concern for my family and the residents of Southern California. The strong winds have died down today and will help in fighting the horrendous fires. I believe the news said there were 18 still burning the last time I checked. I have never seen anything like this in all the years I've lived here. Hopefully, in the next few days there will be continued improvement in containing them.
I received this package in the mail yesterday from McMaster & Storm and it couldn't have come at a better time. My heart was aching all day thinking of the victims and when I opened this box it was so cheerful I couldn't help but be happy. I had seen the black and white numbers on Darcy and Kara's blog and called to see if they had the one I was looking for. Sure enough, the 15 was waiting for me! It's my wedding day and now everytime I look at it, it will make me smile.
Of course, while I was on the phone with them I had to order a few more goodies to travel with my number to California. Just look at their delightful packaging with brightly colored tissues, pretty ribbons and little pink tickets secured around a vintage inspired bag. Adorable! Just adorable!
They are such sweet shop owners and tucked in a few surprises for me. Don't you think the letter "H" is such a thoughtful touch? I would just love to visit their "Petite Department Store" in person one day. I think it would be the perfect place to spend an afternoon buying darling little gifts for my loved ones. And possibly some for me too!
What a beautiful package...you must be in Heaven. so glad to hear your home is safe and sound. My brother wasn't so lucky as many, many in Calif. thanks for such a gorgeous blog..i visit you often and even made the trip one weekend to the barn sale on my way to Poway.
