You know, every SINGLE day I am just amazed and so touched by the blogging community - from the kind and generous readers to the wonderful bloggers who share so much of their spirit with others... amazed AND so thankful for ALL of you. And when I received this beautifully wrapped package from dear Debra and read her nice note (that is now pinned here) I was graced again with another random act of thoughtfulness.
This precious book is just SOOOOOOOO sweet! Oh how I love it!
Thank you Debra, thank you so very much! Your book will have a home here in Daisy Cottage - always.
What a lovely and thoughtful gift--so perfect for you! Although I don't blog yet (soon), I have read on numerous blogs about many instances of kindnesses from people like Debra. It's so touching and validating that there are people with big hearts willing to share their caring with others--the world is a wonderful place and folks like Debra are little torchbearers of love.

I love, love, love your blog! So beautiful and inspiring! I have a small craft room that I am purging of all the "stuff" that I do not use, will never use and really don't care for and filling the spaces with only the things I love. Your space is just what I needed to keep me going. Thanks for sharing your space, your photos and your thoughts.

That was so thoughtful! We get bombarded with the negative side of humanity all the time it's SO refreshing to hear about such kind people. We hear about the bad things that take place on the internet but just look at ALL the wonderful blogs!
Best,
