Fairy Hill and a Gift!

Greetings friends! Have you been seeing some listings of the new releases from TNNA Nashville? I have seen a few charts that I really like. And possibly must have. One of the online stores that I;ve been looking at is Beach Cottage Stitchers HERE. They went to the show in Tennessee and have listed some new stash.

Update on Fairy Hill with Debbie and Linda Bothy Threads Cut Thru SAL Monday.
(before)

 (after) 
I stitched the sleeping fairy in her bed, covered with a leaf quilt. So cute. Started on the bed canopy and filling in all the pink background. 

I have a little story to share with you. Last Friday night I was talking to our son and telling him how they are angels all around us and that you just have to pay attention and recognize when miracles happen. And that miracles do happen every day. Okay that was Friday night. Come Saturday morning my son and I went and picked up a friend of our family. We went to the Rock & Gem show at our local fairgrounds. When DeeDee got in the car she handed Nicholas a box and tells him to open it. He received this:

 Yes she gave him a beautiful stone mans cross. Okay then we went to the show and had a great time. Then we did lunch and a bakery dropped DeeDee off at her home and then we came home.
The mail had arrived and I got a envelope addressed to me and inside was this:

 A beautiful card with my name on the envelope. THERE was no return address and the card was signed... "In his name - from a friend". HERE is what also I was gifted........

Isn't beautiful? I couldn't believe it. I too received this gorgeous cross. Whoever sent this to me Thank you from my heart! YOU ARE AN ANGEL!  I showed my son and he thought it was so kind whoever sent this to me. AND then I told him "Remember what I was telling you last night about miracles?" He said yes. Then I said "Do you realize that both you and I received crosses on the same day?????" He said "oh your right".
I said "Isn't that a true miracle?  First of all when was the last time I bought a cross or you did? AND then after what I said to you last night about angels, and then we both each receive a cross on the very next day?????" MY friends That is a true miracle and yes angels are around ALL OF US!
So Thank you to my Angel whoever you are. Your gift to me means more than you know.
Love to all of you and always my Appreciation - Annette
