Title: The amazing kindness of people.
Post by: grannyjanny on December 22, 2010, 11:15:13
Yesterday I was made to feel REALLY SPECIAL by someone I have only had contact with via A4A. She happened to mention that she will be making some lavender & hop pillows. I have wanted one for ages so asked if she had a spare one could I please buy it. Well yesterday it arrived. The pillow case is the most beautiful piece of embroidery that had been done 30 years ago & put away. When I put in my request this wonderful person thought of me to use it on. Thank you so much, your wonderful kindness will always be appreciated.
A4Aers are fantastic.

It's "The Kindness of Strangers" again isn't it! 

As you say, A4Aers are fantastic - I had another experience of this yesterday from a very kind person here.

Your pillow is really beautiful and I'm sure it smells lovely.  I can just about make scarecrow faces but anything else is beyond me so I really admire this sort of talent.

Thanks for sharing.

Kindness comes in all forms.
Me, I think the support of this site and its members go a long way in sharing and solving problems of all manners and subjects.
Thanks to this web site I am back on track to getting control of my life back.
Or maybe not when I have to endure the kids trying to out do each other in the breakage department.
Daughter has small fracture to right hand, and Son has broken right hand.
What is next only Santa knows. Lump of coal for me this year. ;D ;D ;D

The very best Jayb, makes me :).
Landimad, that's children for you. My daughter frequently asks if she & her sister were as bad as her girls. The answer usually is yes but in different ways ::).
