Look What BJ Did

Kelli from Kelli's House hosts Show and Tell Friday. If you have something special to share, this is the place to show it. It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, or a treasured collection. Go to her place to join in the fun!

BJ from Sweet Nothings sent me a package. I hope that you all regularly visit BJ. She's one of the happiest ladies in Blogland. She loves her family and her red, black, and white kitchen. Zip by today and tell her that Sally sent you. 

Inside the package was this darling card, two packages of cookies, and some tea.

The card reads, "The next time you feel a smile coming on for no particular reason at all... maybe that's me, remembering you. 

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you. Philippians 1:3"


The package came on my birthday, and I assumed that it was from my daughter. BJ did not know that it was my birthday; no one did. I am at the age where I'd as soon forget that day is coming.

I didn't even look at the return address. I just ripped it open!

I confess that in my excitement, I opened the ginger lemon cookies and gobbled one right down. Johnny sampled one too before I realized that this was not a birthday gift. I resealed the cookie box to take a picture. Yummy, are they delicious. 


The tea is special. It's Lipton Raspberry Lime REVITALIZE tea mix to go. BJ wrote that she sent it because she knew that I was "going to get tired" when I moved. Isn't that the most thoughtful thing? 

Here's the best part of this special package of goodies. The most darling set of bookends. You know that I love to read and have my book blog where I review and give away books.


Children tugging on a rope. The details are amazing. Look at that hat turned sideways! 


The counter is dark, so I placed the white dishcloth there so that you could see the action.







Now you see this darling set of bookends doing the job it was designed to do.
Thank you BJ. You are a thoughtful friend. I cherish these book ends and will think of you each time I look at them.  Meanwhile, Johnny and I will enjoy the snacking and try not to smack our lips.
