My Down-To-Earth swap partner, B from New South Wales sent me these fabulous pot holders and tea towels! (This is her photograph, btw.) She also included a lovely linen tea towel with birds of New South Wales, Australia and a large bar of Cadbury Chocolate in her gift package……..Sweet temptation! She is so generous. I am a bit in awe of B who has five children and is home-schooling 4 of them, lives on a large farm in NSW and finds time to quilt up a storm and read as well! Even at her age (32 years ago! She is exactly half my age) I don’t think I could have managed all that! We both read Rhoda Hetzel’s wonderful
http://down—to—earth.blogspot.com/ blog and met one another through the current swap. The internet has so much that is good and finding like-minded people all over the world is one of the very good effects. While the evening news can really drag one down, connecting with people who are living lives of goodness (NOT “quiet desperation”) is such a lifter of spirits and strengthens us all.
I am so pleased you liked what I sent!
Thankyo for your admiration for all that I do – it’s not perfect, often there is a pile of washing or a floor unswept and unmopped, and I am often very very tired. But this part of life (being a mum with little children) goes by so fast so I am trying the best I can to do and savour as much as possible. xxx
