I'm sure we all know by now how wonderful Blogland can be. We just meet the nicest, most thoughtful women!!! The evidence of this is constant, and this past week was no exception.
On Tuesday I received a wonderful gift in the mail from Monica of The White Bench. She asked me several weeks ago for my address, and said she had a little something to send me. Well, my curiosity was peaked, but I had to wait for the special "little" gift to arrive from Italy.
I opened it all very carefully as it was evident that there was something very delicate inside. What did find??? Nests! 4 sweet little birds nest that Monica very thoughtfully saved for me, when she read on my blog that I could not find real ones here is my area. I mean come on... how cool is that???
And not only did she take the time to gather them, she also sent along lovely heart that she made with antique linen, handwoven by her Great Grandmother!!!! Plus, some lovely doilies that belonged to her beloved Granny, and many other sweet little notions.
I will treasure everything, and be reminded of the great friendships I feel so blessed to have with women all over the world.
Thank you Monica!!!

What a sweet and thoughtful gift. I love that she knew what the bird's nests meant to you and did something that kind hearted for you.
This is SO NEAT, Karen!!! I know exactly how you feel. I have made friends with lots of nice ladies at a scrapbook website and we send each other little "goodies" regularly, even though we've never met in person. What a TREAT it is to open each box! ENJOY your birdnests!
Hugs to YOU!

We have many bird nest's in all of our everygreen tree's. We do remove them so the following year new nest's can be made. I know we have them around the shed somewhere as the work that goes in to making these beautiful nest's is awesome! What a lovely gift to send to you. I will have to remember to save ours this coming bird season.
What a nice blogger friend!

What lovely gifts!
Hi Karen,
How sweet, and how wonderful all the goodies are. I, myself, have been blessed recently with goodies from blog friends and I will make a post this week to show them. I'm so excited you'll be coming to the luncheon, I absolutely love meeting new people, and most especially blog friends.
Big Hugs,
Meri
Isn't there just something special about birds and nests? Oh, and sweet little colored or spotted eggs. That was a wonderful surprise you received - can't wait to see what you create!

How sweet of your blog friend to send all those wonderful treasures! We can find nest in this area and if you buy a real one in the stores around here, they range from $50 to $90! Isn't that crazy?? I usually just make fake ones, but I did find one at a garage sale for $2! I was thrilled!If I find them out in the woods, I leave them alone because birds usually come back every year.
I hope you are having a great weekend!
Hugs,
Sonya

Awesome! I have 5 nests myself, one two are Mockingbird nests...SO TINY I almost didn't see them! I haven't found one (on the ground that is) in a few years, but I'll share my finds with you now that I know you like them as well! Still want to do the "craft thing" but haven't had a day off in quite some time...don't forget about me!
