Do you all remember over a year ago, when I was a blogger for Home Goods? You can see one of my posts here. At that same time Jen was also a Home Goods blogger. We both have moved on from that, but have stayed in touch through our own personal blogs. Jen's blog is called The Cottage Nest.
Well, a while back I sent Jen something she needed, never expecting anything in return. Imagine my surprise when the other day the mail lady dropped a package off from Jen!
This sweet bag that Jen made was found inside. Isn't it beautiful? But that's not all. That was just the packaging! Inside the bag was this...
A beautiful cowl that Jen knitted for me. She said that she was filled with warmth at what I did and she hoped that this cowl she knitted for me would fill me with warmth.
Of course it does! How wonderful it is to receive a hand made gift, straight from the heart, especially for me!
Now if you don't know Jen, you need to go visit her here. Tell her I sent you. I know you will love her as much as I do.
Welcome Home,
Penny

Surprise gifts are so much fun...what a sweet thing for your friend to do...a cowl will be very useful for the cold weather!
That is such a beautiful creamy color!
Isn't it nice to get an unexpected surprise in the mail? It's especially nice when it is from a blogger friend. Jen's crowl looks beautiful and it will help keep you warm this snowy winter.
Jen is a really sweet lady and that cowl is such a pretty color. It should really keep you warm there.

What a beautiful cowl and I love that bag and tag too. Such a lovely surprise. Yes, we are barely keeping up with the shoveling. My Gazebo is disappearing every day. We are expecting more snow tomorrow. Hmm, can I borrow that cowl?

Hello Penny, I always say what goes around comes around. Other people say it too! BIG smile here for your lovely hand made gift. I have always wondered if I would like one of those knitted beauties. On a cold winter day, my answer is yes. A sweet thoughtful gift from a sweet blogger. I know you will enjoy it so much.
Love ya, Jeanne
