from Auntie Hilda



There are so many things that matter most....
but every now and then...
it is the little thoughts of kindness that bring cheer!

I can't remember the last time I went to the mailbox and discovered a parcel.

Do you know that moment just before opening a gift?
Have you ever just let is sit unopened and pondered it?

I did that.
Once I opened the brown wrapper and found this pretty paper inside..
I let is sit...and emptied my dishwasher.

I kept glancing over at it...
not willing for the surprise to end.


Inside...was a handwritten note from Auntie Hilda...
written with love.



Still taking my time..
I put on a pot of coffee..
and checked email.

Truly...I did that.


A gift from this my favorite store.
Insert...smile here.


She saw this sweet apron while shopping with cousin Nancy.
She thought of me...
imagine that.

It is perfect!
I love it!

You are...
 as always..
so kind..
and generous.
Thank you so much!


A girl never has too many aprons.


all for now...

  1. How delightful! Definitely the best store!! :) I do the same thing with packages. Sometimes I leave the contents set up in a still life for days because I don't want to disturb the beauty of it. :) How nice to be thought of by your Aunt!!!

    Lovella, I have never savored a gift like this...nope. I can't wait to get into it. Your approach makes me smile. Perhaps I should try it.

  11. That apron becomes you!!!! I have never heard of that store (can you imagine!). I looked it up and there is one with an hours drive to Oakville, Ontario. Hmmm - might have to check it out sometime. What a lovely and thoughtful gift and love how you savoured it before opening.

  12. What a sweet surprise! That is a great photo of you in the pumpkin patch wearing your beautiful apron. It was nice that you took you time in opening your gift. I received 2 parcels from my sister for Thanksgiving but I lit right into them. ;)
