Starting a blog has been such a rewarding experience. I am regularly surprised by people’s kindness and the community that has been created through blogging. I have met so many new people and I feel like I’ve made friends too; this post is a testament to that.

I just recently received a beautiful gift in the mail; a lovely hand towel with the initial from my last name embroidered on it. The woman who sent it to me, although I have never met her, took enough time searching through my blog to really get to now me. The towel is the perfect colors for my guest bathroom; a chocolate brown “G” beautifully monogramed on a tea stained color towel. |
The fact that it is embroidered is such a personal touch and her thoughtfulness really brightened my day. The gift was chosen so carefully it was almost as if it had come from a long time friend. It is so amazing the people I have met through blogging and the experiences that I have had. It is really like a community.
The package arrived a few days ago and it was wrapped as sweet as the gift that I found inside of it. Attached was a hand written note that was really heartfelt.
Sarah authors a blog called Hyacinth for the Soul. She is the lovely lady who sent me this fabulous gift. Her blog is definitely worth a visit.
Below you will see how gorgeous the towel looks hanging from the towel bar in my guest bath. I just love the way it looks hanging atop my dark brown towel.
The first three people to comment on this post will receive a special gift as well. So don’t be shy!

But thank you for this beautiful post about my PIF gift to you. I’m thrilled that the monogramed hand towel pleased you and is something that goes well in your home.

Sarah is my sister and I visited your site because she suggested it in hers. She is definitely a very special lady!
Deana,
Your gift is simply beautiful. I have always enjoyed monogrammed items as they take you way back. Monagrammed hankies are one of my favorites. On my wedding day I carried a white lace hankie with a monogramed “A” on it in pink. It was a nice touch and took me back to the vintage things I love. Enjoy your new treasure and may it always bring a smile to your face!
What a thoughtful and lovely thing to do!
What a lovely monogrammed towel and it goes so well with your bathroom decor!! Happy Holidays – safe and bright.
