Some of you know that I've started this crazy, stunning beautiful pattern of Frivole's called the Quatrain. Frivole has been so very patient with me as I repeatedly ask her questions. So when she said she liked Aunt Rose-E's hankies, I just had to send her one- well two because I couldn't decide. Look what she does! In true Frivole fashion, she said she would like to send me a little thank you so I thought "Well, isn't that sweet" but never in my wildest dreams did I think what she described as a "little thank you" would be this!
Secondly, I don't have any idea how Frivole knew that I have been secretly lusting after La Cossette shuttles. If you've never seen them, check this shop out. As I opened the card and saw the trademark pea pod, my hands started to tremble, how could she have known? And then I opened the La Cossette package (which was so lovely, I didn't want to change it). Inside was the most beautiful shuttle in the world! Look!
Even personalized! I had to stay up late and make another motif in the Quatrain, easily the best of the six I've done. Only 148 to go!
Thank you, merci and gratias, Frivole. I am so lucky to be able to call you my friend!
Latin for today: quam fortunata sum! = I am so lucky. Click to listen.
Tatting internet friends are lovely, that's my experiance too.
ReplyDeleteFrivole's Quatrain is just amazing, I saved it, and I hope I can start tatting it soon.
(Btw. I'm also a Latin teacher, but now I work as a librarian).
Vale! :)
Another Latin teacher tatter! Yay! How fun to find you! (Now I'll have to be extra careful with my Latin- tee hee!)
ReplyDeletefinding another tatter is a lovely thing, and i too agree that tatters are the nicest people. have fun with your new shuttle. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd meeting new LOCAL tatting friends on the internet is a bonus too - so glad to have you as a tatting friend to get together in person with :)
ReplyDeleteYour special, personalized shuttle has me green with envy! What a thoughtful thank-you.
