Last year I sent a "get well soon card" to Kate who had recently suffered a stroke. I was, and still am, moved by her struggle and how well she seems to manage. I'm such a crank that I'm sure I'd alienate all but those with the strongest intestinal fortitude. I'm sure Kate has her days, but she actually communicates her struggles (rather than internalizes them as yours truly would do).
Checking in with her blog, I saw that she'd archived the correspondence she's received, and I found the card I sent her.* Yes, I'm a dork (what?); it was so gratifying to know that my card actually got to her. Snail mail still has its merits.
The second part is related to yesterday's covetable dress. I found out about Cabbages & Roses from her blog; she'd interviewed their designer as she is often asked about her wardrobe (much of which is Cabbages & Roses) so I went to their website where I fell in love with the red wool dress, which - by the way - is on its way to me (via a friend) right now (yay!).**
Visit her blog, buy her patterns, make something covetable.
*Thanks to my mother-in-law who I believe gave me those cards.
**Quite the compound/complex sentence. I wonder if I'd let my students get away with that one.
