Just as I was sending everyone else to sleep with my insomnia woes and feeling a bit irritable and sorry for myself as a result, something arrived in the post today that elevated my mood to HAPPY.
I'd been evidently grumbling a little too loudly on flickr about the lack of Target in Canada and how all this Orla Kierly business was making me green with envy. Crystal to the rescue - she sent these beautiful goodies, plates, placemat and a ridiculously cute apron. Just because.
I'm shellshocked. Thank you. Thank you SO much from the bottom of my heart. This kind of generosity blows me away and truly made my day. I defy anyone not to smile at such treasures and the generous spirit in which they were given.
And if you haven't met Crystal before - go check out her blog, she's a great combination of crafty and hilarious. She also started the fabulous flickr group 365 for the domestic types where many of us post daily photos of our lives.
You rock Crystal!
(Um, not sure the Brit in me really allows me to say things like this without sounding hopelessly uncool, but there, I said it anyway!)
