I love surprises!

These gorgeous blooms showed up at my shop on Tuesday and boy was I surprised! I mean, come on, what gal doesn't like a good lookin' bunch of smelly goods in a vase? Now, these were not just ordinary flowers, they were PERFECT flowers. I'm telling you, not a petal was broken, discolored, out of place, etc. The vase was crystal clear, filled with what looked to be purified water. The blooms were a bright white with perfectly round yellow centers. Like, the kind of perfect flower that looks fake, you get the picture!


So, as I read the enclosed card, my mouth drops to the floor. "Seriously", I say aloud, "Seriously, you have got to be kidding. That girl, she is an amazing friend (my hands fall to my side with card still in hand). I can't believe she thinks this much of me. What a surprise, what a sweet surprise. Oh, wow!" Then, I took a breath and repeated everything at least 5 or six more times. I was amazed, truly overwhelmed by the love of a friend.


Kris, I owe you a million and one thanks, a bear hug and a pinky swear that officiates our friendship bond from now to eternity - LOL . You made my day, my week, my year! More than words could ever express, you are a true friend and I appreciate your kindness so much. Thank you :)
