My health this last six-seven months has slid down hill. This morning my doctor rather "unsoftly" gave me a few "kicks in the shins" with some things he said and left me feeling bruised and rather hopeless inside. I came home to find a package that I had ordered waiting for me in the mailbox. But now I have to back up....
I've only recently branched out into the world of handmade shuttles, starting with some GR-8's, then Monica Braxton shared with me her lovely shuttles, and a few days ago....I was browsing on Carollyn's tatting blog http://tennbrown.blogspot.com/ when I saw these cute little chocolate and vanilla handmade bunny shuttles... Oh I wanted a pair so bad! I read where she had traded once for them. I also saw where Carollyn had TATTED a pineapple that looked like a CROCHETED pineapple. That was so cool! Well, I contacted her and asked her for the pineapple pattern. As a side note, I asked how it would be possible to get a pair of shuttles. It turns out, the shuttles, are easier to get than the pattern.... (? :( ?) She told me the shuttles were $30 a piece. Well, I replied to her that I hoped Santa would bring them to me and thanked her. Then I sat at home the next few days resigned to the fact that I couldn't afford the shuttles, but kept going back to her site and staring at those cute little bunnies.
Guess what...I dug into my little savings account and ordered them. And they came (Back to today!!!) ....In this box!

| Look at that calligraphy! How beautiful!! Wouldn't you like something like that to come to your house? |
 |
| Carolynn must have studied marketing! Inside was this cute little paper sack. Filled with paper grass. Hidden under the grass...... |

| My new bunnies! AREN'T THEY ADORABLE, I've read where someone else online has named their bunny shuttles, and I thought that might be cute. So may I introduce...."Fluffy" and "Tattered"--I can't wait to get some thread on them and get them to "hoppin!" | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | .Thank
you so much Carollyn for the extra love, trouble and care you put into
packaging your little bunny shuttles. It may not make you an extra
nickle in this world, but it put a smile on my face today! I thoroughly
enjoyed unwrapping my little bunnies and welcoming them into my home.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Your bunnies blessed me! | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

What lovely bunnies! So glad they blessed your day. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey arrived early! Doesn't it make you aware of how the little things can mean so much :) ?
Deletemine two bunnies are Dove and Marshmallow..... ;) they are happy to meet Fluffy and Tattered!!! Happy Tats!
ReplyDeleteDo you think if we get my two rabbit shuttles together in a cage with your two rabbit shuttles in a cage overnight we could put Carollyn out of business? (blush!).... You know....I think I feel "happier" tatting with my "special" shuttles than I do with shuttles I buy at the store.
DeleteThat is awesome. I felt the same way--a bit pricey but oh they are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWho was it Loreal--- "I'm worth it!" And oh they are so CUTE!! Everyone at lace guild today ooohed and aaahed over them!!!
DeleteAhh that's so nice of you, I went to Italy once along time ago, and they took the time to wrap up everything even sweet rolls, it made me feel like it was my birthday and I wanted to pass that feeling on. Thank you both for the compliments, was fun to be part of a blessing :)
ReplyDeleteCarollyn? I know I am going to enjoy my shuttles--I loved the packaging! They lifted my spirits when they needed it so badly! You do beautiful tatting--and are so creative in your display methods. I pray that someone makes you feel like it is your "birthday" soon, and often! You deserve it!
Deletevery nice, and I hope they help you feel better. kicks in the shins aren't fun, but sometimes we need them.
ReplyDeleteTwenty-four hours of mulling over and accepting what he said has made a big difference....
DeleteI think you have given Carolllyn some wonderful free advertising. It should be a happy sale for her. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your doc is a sour puss. It is always good to shock them and do better than they think you will. Perhaps you can (I'm cheering you on!).
I hope Carollyn has lots of bunnies hopping out her door! I think this particular doctor just wanted me to see things in the "worse possible light" for once, Thank you for your well wishes!
DeleteYou are going to love them.
ReplyDeleteI know....would someone please teach my dishes to wash themselves and my clothes to at lease fold themselves? One of the problems with there being only 24 hours in a day.... So many patterns and so little time!
DeleteYour pair are adorable! Enjoy the day - tat well.
ReplyDeleteNew medication has eased some symptoms and some pain - Praise the Lord! I'm having a great day today (thank you!) Enjoy your day of tatting as well!......If my readers wouldn't mind, I do not have a clear diagnosis at this time--just a non-specific "connective tissue disease"--please pray for wisdom for my doctors!
