yesterday's mail
contained this
from carol j blinn, her binding, my pictures
of hiroko karuno at the japanese paper place last fall
and this
from my now worry free friend
i looked at these fingers and said to myself: "those aren't aimee's!"
the hooligans would say, "DUH"
and she used up all the usable scraps of my papers from her models
in a most
frugal and intelligent
way.
having book, paper, and fiber friends is always a gift.
you two rescued a "terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day" for me.
thank you.
i wouldn't say worry free yet...more like, in worry rehab! you are ALWAYS welcome. carol's gift is amazing! i am glad those things arrived in your mailbox to battle your day. big, big hugs.
ReplyDeletehow good to have such tangible hugs arrive on such a day, and i just love the crazy lokta paper quilt. a virtual hug to you, k.
ReplyDeletegrin, and kaite, that's my paper, not lokta!! mixes of botanicals and abaca too.
ReplyDeleteOoooooo such wonderful treats. thanks for showing us.

ReplyDeleteI like how life delivers you lovely things when you need them. Not always, but how special is it when it does?!? What a wonderful surprise and gifts to receive. Go well.
ReplyDeleteooops, my mistake, but it looks so much like some lokta wrapping paper i have here. i should leave the mulberry wine alone, cheerio
