Yesterday I received an unexpected gift! It seems those kinds of gifts are more special, they aren't
dictated by a birthday, holiday or some other life event. This beautiful book from a friend arrived in the mail yesterday. "The Collected Tabletop", Inspirations for Creative Entertaining is written by Kathryn Crisp Greenley with beautiful photography by J. Weiland. I am highlighting a few photos with fall and Thanksgiving themes. The book is full of recipes, too! It was such a wonderful surprise!
My dear friend, I can't tell you how much I appreciated your thoughtfulness to remember
me in such a way. You knew I would love this book!
Thank You So Much!
I look forward to us meeting in person!

Unexpected gifts like this are very special indeed. Especially from a friend you have not even met in person. Now, that is wonderful!
What a special surprise, Cindy! I know you pretty well by now and it's easy for me to see that this was just the right gift for somebody like you. I agree that the act of giving means a great deal more when it is done for no particular reason other than to express love and friendship. Enjoy your book and have a very happy weekend, dear friend!
Shady ~ Thank you for stopping by and your thoughtful words. May you and Mrs. Shady have a happy weekend, too! I know I need to hop over to your place, you have a new blog post! Been running off my legs today... the grocery stores, cooking and working out. Anxious to see what you and Ron have discovered!
That is truly a lovely book, and a terrific surprise! It just fits you- sweet, hospitable, and warm. Hope your weekend is over the top!
