Smiley Saturday - A Beautiful Surprise Parcel

smiley-saturday-2.JPG

What happened to me this week actually made me cry before it made me smile. But the tears were the kind when you’ve been touched so deeply that no other emotion seems to suffice.

Farmboy went to get the mail while I was in the chemist. When I came out he asked me if I was expecting a parcel. I didn’t think I was which made me rather curious as to the contents of this “mystery parcel”.

Inside, I found this:

Pink Parcel

A PINK parcel!!! It was obvious that the sender (and yes, there was name on the label so I knew who it was from at this point) knows me well and had taken special care to wrap the parcel in my favourite colour.

Pink Card

A beautiful card - again in pink!

However, despite the wrapping and card, I was still unprepared for the beauty of what lay within the parcel.

Handknitted Pink Blanket

Isn’t it stunning? I wish I was more eloquent with words to express how much I LOVE this blanket.

Here is a close up:

Pink Blanket - Close Up

It is simply amazing and warm and it does more than warm my body, it warms my heart and everytime I see it, it makes me smile.

THANK YOU Michelle. I know you chose to make and send this as a thank you but this…? Wow!!! You have totally blown me away with your kindness and generosity. It’s going to bring a smile to my face every day.

If you have a smiley moment or something that will make others smile, please consider joining our Smiley Saturday and linking to your post in the Mr Linky below.

NB: We WON netball last week which I’m sure had something to do with all the positive vibes and well wishes you all sent. Today is my first FINALS game so more of the same would be MUCH appreciated. I’m aiming for not completely choking under the extra pressure!!!! Tongue out
