Something sweet....

                  I started to write this post over a week ago in the airport...
      I was on my way to Dallas from Michigan, hoping to escape this....
               

But I got to Texas & it was more of the same......

Cold & Ice

So fast forward a week & Michigan had a few days of warming

The snow melted...

BUT today... this is what we have AGAIN....

It was so nice yesterday, my sister & I decided to go north to the cottage.

My husband is in Colorado, he is getting to spend a few days with our son & DIL, helping with a remodel project on the front end of his business trip.

Sister & I were going to spend a few days, but Mr. Weatherman was telling us that BIG weather was coming again, so we left early this morning & drove home, so we could get home.    SO.... I am home alone & enjoying all that being snowed in alone means.... I get the big comfy chair in the sunroom, get to eat when/what I want, not sharing... reading, watching movies & catching up on blogs....

So I digress.....

 This is what I wanted to show you...

A client of mine is a fairly recent widow. She has moved into an assisted living facility & is down-sizing her things.

Since she no longer drives, I usually pick her up, cut her hair & then bring her back. She asked me this last time if I had a few minutes to come up to her apartment. She had this there & asked me if I would like it. Her family was going to throw it out & she said, "I think Kathy might like it"

 Are you kidding me??? I LOVE it.

 It hangs on the wall & will soon be on the wall of my "being remodeled sewing room"

She said that it was quite old & was handmade.

She gave it to me, just as you see it...

with all of that colorful thread.

Do you notice that each little shelf flips out to better get at the thread?

 I have lots & lots & lots & lots of thread, & thread holders in all shapes & sizes to hold all of the serger & regular sewing thread.

 But I think this will be used mostly as a piece of art for the wall.

Isn't it just perfectly lovely??

Such a thoughtful gesture, she knew I would love it....

Sure glad it did not end up in the land fill.

Thanks Tina!!!
