While the image of the picture is simple but quite lovely, the background is very severe. There is a story in that picture. An acquaintance designs such fabric-based items and they display and sell quite well. Her backgrounds are carefully designed to enhance the garment she created. She was on an art studio tour that I visited.
You do get some interesting items, IL
As Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”
I too thought the picture was not a good gift for you, but to clarify, is it your grandmother, IL? Then it kind of makes sense as a gift.
What I dread worse than the gift exchanges are the cookie exchanges. Yuck. I'm not interested in cookies that come from a house with 6 cats. I've had a upper respiratory crud and you don't want cookies coming from my kitchen this week.
Float On: My "Happy Place" is on my little kayak in the coves of Table Rock Lake.
My sister has a tendency to get me things I need to dust. Like, for my birthday, gigantic cookie jar. I don't even keep cookies in the house. It's cute and all, but...
She got me a set of plates for our anniversary. She actually has never been in my house, has no idea what my idea of decor is, etc. It's not that I'm ungrateful. I just don't know how to tell people "please, nothing I need to dust."
"I just don't know how to tell people "please, nothing I need to dust."
How about this: "When you're considering a gift for me, picture it with layers of dust. Cuz, ya know, I don't dust. Then decide."
My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
We can no longer dust...the bible says "dust you are to dust you will return" or something like that...
Could be a friend or a relative!! LOL
