A Little Tuffet Came a Callin'

So I arrived home with a truck load of dirt, see... when there on the porch was a package. Do you ever just know something special is at hand? One minute before what we had was an ordinary day and then... Oh My, looky here. Better than a box load of puppies is all I'm sayin'. Don't you think?

This is such a pretty tuffet. Even Talia thinks so and she' not easy to impress.

These beautiful vintage needlepoints are rescued by Sharon at C'est Chouette. With an abused or neglected needlepoint in her hot little hand, Sharon co-ordinates the perfect fabrics and trims. She measures and cuts and stitches till they are cushions anew. Once restored and refreshed, from her website, Sharon finds them new homes. A one-woman needlepoint rescue society. Ya know, more and more these pretty little tuffets do remind me of a box load of puppies -- but quieter and better behaved.

It seems someone dear to me conspired with Sharon to send this lovely tuffet. I'm not sure I should say who.... but it was such a nice gesture, a grand gesture... It occurs to me that if she and Sharon combined their efforts, stuffed the Scent from one's Cottage into the pillows of the other, they'd have the world's great biggest sachet.

I love this tuffet -- doesn't it look like the Painted Cabinet has been saving a spot for it?

Thank you both for your kindness, your generosity and for being my friends. Talia says "Thanks" too -- she especially likes her pretties.
