~thank you Fifi~
~thank you Fifi~
it brought tears to my eyes that she would do that for me...it's one of the most
personal and sweetest gifts I have ever received....
she put in there a few of her dried roses.......
(I used an old champagne crate from France as the complimentary backdrop)
when Fifi was here (taking photos of our home, prairie, gardens and animals)
for her new book out coming this March 2011,
for her new book out coming this March 2011,
we were looking for a special type of fabric for a photo shoot....and we used what I said "it looks like something from Cabbages and Roses"....and she was very surprised to find out that it wasn't....and then she told me "well, you should have some....it would fit in perfectly at your home"
so what did she send me?
some Cabbages and Roses fabric!!!
We both then talked of how we admire what Christina Strutt has done with her company....how her passions show in all she does
very much like Fifi really
there is no way this post is a thank you to her....a hug would be great, but a phone call had to suffice....I'm truly so humbled by her thoughtful sweetness.
saying thank you in such a personal way is a gift
xo+blessings,
She seems like such an amazing woman! How very thoughtful & dear of her! The fabric is beautiful and the little heart sign is cute! Can't wait for the book release! :)

P.s. I checked into local farmers who participate in harvest grove, but due to legalities, my voulnterring was a no-go. However, I might be moving to a farm...just found out today! If so, I will have to see about participating...

I saw that little heart on Anne's sidebar and came on over. How wonderfully sweet of Fifi and how great for you to receive such a thoughtful gift.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how that one sweet person has such a gigantic heart, but each life Fifi touches is blessed. So where will the heart end up... what fun to figure it out!
What a lovely gift...I really love the heart, the fabric is beautiful too! Do have something special you are going to create with it?
ReplyDeleteBest wishes:)

ReplyDeleteHi Anne Marie,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful and personal gift.......something that all of the diamonds and gold in the world could ever match up to......and, Cabbages and Roses fabrics are one of my favourites, especially that design. What a treat for you.
Thanks for your lovely comment. We had a wonderful time in Italy but, I'm always glad to be home. XXXX
Hi Anne Marie!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog the other day - it's really nice to meet you!
Those are such sweet and pretty gifts! I love that fabric and I wish it was easier to get Cabbages and Roses products here.
I'm really looking forward to seeing Fifi's book!
