My lovely friend Patricia at My Life Under the Bus alerted me on Monday that I had won the leather wrap bracelet give away over at Studio Waterstone. Wow! that really made my day! Lori, ever efficient, put it in the mail right away, and it was waiting on my desk when I got home today (my family is trained to put all smallish padded envelopes on my desk :-)). Isn't it awesome (despite the way not awesome self photo)?
It is made of the soooooooffffftest leather, and I felt exceptionally hip for a 40-something mama at dinner tonight. And Faith is the EXACT word I need right now. I think there might, or might not, be a job change coming for me in the next few months, which may or may not require a move. And I just need to keep the faith that the right thing will fall into place for me and my family. It always has. Even those odd jinks in the roads that throw us for a loop have ended up being the right thing, even if we didn't know it at the time. To add to the awesomeness of the package from Lori was this great clutch with her signature embroidered flowers:
A while ago after a mass closet purge, I sent Lori the couple of jackets that had outlived their usefulness that I thought she could re-use - you should check out her store! Lori added the lovely clutch to my gift package as a thank you. Another indication that I need to keep doing what I think is right and goodness will be returned to my life. That's attaching a tad much importance to this sweet clutch, and might be related to the delish Punkin Ale(s) I had with dinner, but you get where I am coming from, don't you? See you Sunday for I HEART MACRO!
Yay! Congrats, Elisabeth! Gorgeous wrap! :) Sweet clutch! What a great way to end the week! And ((HUGS)) for the changes ahead, I know how hard changes can be. Thinking of you often! <3 And if you ever need a pick me up... I'm here!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning the beautiful leather wrap bracelet from the ever-talented Lori!! It looks fabulous on you. And as a 40-something Mama, I know how great it feels to feel hip! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour clutch is so sweet - and how nice of you to send Lori your jackets to recycle.
I'm hoping the best for you with your upcoming job changes. You really seem to know how to roll with the punches.
Oh yay on the win! Lori's stuff is awesome, isn't it? (And I love the necklace you are wearing here too ;) And talk about generous on your sending her the leather! Inspirational, and you are making me think...which is a good thing! ;)
