Props to a Grrrlfriend…

Embarrassment of riches. That’s what I’ve got lately with all the lucious gifts The Bee keeps receiving. Yesterday a box arrived from back east, from the lovely Jessi over at Elsie Elsewhere.

Do y’all remember that post about when she crackled that dresser last summer for Elsie’s nursery? It turns out she’s a crackle diva!! Look at this amazing thing that she made with her own two very own hands:

It’s a wondrous BOX for The Bee to keep all of her treasures in! I love boxes. I hope my daughter enjoys all sorts of stuff one might keep in a special box…rocks and feathers and pictures and stickers and pinecones and the little shells that fall out of bird nests. I did. It’s the perfect gift for a collector-girl. For a little girl who likes to look.

Then, when I opened it up, I found this:

A BEE shirt! Can’t wait to explain this nickname to Miss Bee one day. Oh, did you say your eye caught on something else? Something on the inside top there?

Yep, it’s the bird and the bee. The Singing Bird’s old logo (which I fiercely miss, by the way) and a logo for The Bee.

Also with the box came a great book and a perfect card:

Thank you, Jessi, more than you know. It’s becoming harder and harder to express how talented and how thoughtful I think the people of this community are since you all keep being so talented and thoughtful!

And, Jessi, I really hope our Summer 2005 daughters get to meet SOON.
