The Generosity of Kindred Spirits!

Have you met Deb over at Loyalist Cottage? She is a pretty recent blogger and she's stopped by Sweet Bee Cottage a few times.  Now I have to tell you she is a generous soul and she has an excellent memory.  She emailed me and recalled that I had a collection of needlepoint cottages and knew I really treasured them.

Well do you know what this sweetie did?  She sent me a set of seasonal cottages her mum stitched many a moon ago.  Can you imagine how touched I am?  My heart has that squishy feel when someone does something super extra nice for you.

Let me show you. . . . . 

Spring!
Summer!
Fall!
Winter!
Aren't they sweet?

But you know what is really sweet?  That someone would send these all the way from Canada (ooops! I forgot to mention that before) to someone they've never met in real life.  

This
is what makes our community of bloggers so
wonderful!
There is so much generosity of spirit and support out there.

Thank you Debra!

And thank you all my visitors and those that leave a comment.  I appreciate you all!

I'm going to link up with My Romantic Home's Show and Tell hosted by the gracious Cindy because I just have to show off these cottages and brag about the kindness of Deb and all the other kindred spirits out there.

  3. A fellow Canadian. We all have big hearts Sweet Bee.
    This world is amazing. I'm off to visit blogging friends that I have blogged with for over a year now. Our dreams are coming true. We will embrace each other over tea, cupcakes, birthday cake and tears of happiness. I have so many presents to bring I needed my truck. A 30 hour drive, but worth every mile.
    I love it here in blog land.
    See you when I get back in April.
    Happy Spring.
    Lovely needlepoint. I'm glad Debra sent them to you. I'll have to go and meet her. I wonder where in Canada she is.
    Love Claudie

  7. What a thoughtful thing to do! Not just that she sent you those cottages, but that they were her Mum's! That's a very generous heart, and they are just the sweetest cottages. I'm sure you'll treasure them forever, and your new friendship with Deb!
    Have a great weekend!
