This is a short story to tie up loose ends and start your weekend with a smile.
.
Remember when I held a little contest on my 3rd etsyversary? Scroll back to April 16th, it's not that far and read the first entry from Kathy.
.
Kathy didn't win the necklace for her friend Nancy (although Rebecca won for her beautiful daughter) but I couldn't get Nancy and Kathy out of my mind.
.
Apparently I was not the only one. I decided to make her a necklace anyway and Kathy contacted her to find a meaningful place that would have memories of her husband. Beijing.
.
Then Brittany, my lovely customer and now cyberfriend sent me a note and asked to contribute towards the necklace, and then another friend wrote and wanted to do the same thing.
.
I sent the completed necklace to Kathy and told her the story and she in turn sent the necklace to Nancy along with the story.
.
Today, the mail brought a giant box. It was from Nancy. Along with a truly lovely note came handmade oatmeal soap from her family farm. She also included two boxes for me to send to the other women as a small thank you.
.
I am humbled by her generosity and give pause to know how 5 women became connected from a small post, on a small blog in the cosmos.
.
Have a weekend filled with joy and kiss the ones you love,
xoSherry
