Bowled Over...Again

I am constantly amazed and humbled by the kindness, support, and unbridled generosity of the blog world!  Whether it's comments, a thoughtful email, or a surprise package that awaits me at my mailbox!

Last week when I checked my mail I had a lovely little box tucked inside my mailbox!  I had been expecting a package from my dear friend Connie of Hartwood Roses.  I had sent her a little something and we were both keeping mum about each other's packages!

Once I wrangled the heavy box out of the mailbox and headed back inside, I was both thrilled and amused at my wonderful present!  You may remember a few months ago when I did a post on some duck pin bowling pins that I had gotten at The Vintage Source.  When Connie brought me her lovely clawfoot tub, she also found a few duck pins of her own!

As the owner of a heirloom rose farm, it seemed perfectly fitting that the card Connie had enclosed would have roses on it!  Isn't it pretty?!

And inside she had written the cutest note.  She has such a great sense of humor and is so thoughtful!

When Connie picked up her beautiful new cupboard at Lucketts Store recently, she found this perfect little bowling ball and thought of me!  And wouldn't you know that I have the perfect spot to do a little duck pin bowling!!

I don't even need gutter guards!

I felt a little like Laverne and Shirley while setting up these shots!  But I think I might actually be able to bowl a perfect game with this perfect new ball!!  Maybe I can install one of those cool little hand fan thingies in one of the bedrooms off of the hall?!  Now all I need are some cool shoes, a shirt with my first initial embroidered on it, some bowling alley food, and I'll be all set!

Thank you Connie for knowing that I would appreciate this very cool gift!!!
