A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Thank you, Sheri

In yesterday's mail--I received a wonderful surprise from Sheri.

It was so perfectly timed. I thank you so much, Sheri.

She & I had talked about her sending me some seeds--well along with the seeds were the very nicest pair of washable suede gardening gloves. And also a great card.

the gloves are so nice I will have to talk myself into using them. But not to worry--I will be using them. :wink:

I will be planting the seeds when the kids make my new flower bed larger---

and i really need to know if you got those cards at a chain store--i simply love them.

Sheri, you always know just what to do and when to do it. Thank you so very much.

Those gloves look sooooooooooo soft!!! Wonderful!

And the card is very pretty - what kind of seeds are they?

Once again - very nice gifts to and from very nice people!

Cool, seems like gifts are just flying all around here lately! Very nice of Sheri....nice gloves!

Sheri, what nice gifts,and such a nice thought.

Nice Gloves ,, Carol,, Sheri sent me some too,, Thanks Sheri!!

The gloves came from Target. The seeds are bachelor buttons. Glad you like them. Carol, hope you're doing well.

Oh My,---am I ever .

in all of my excitement I failed to tell you all what kind of seeds Sheri was so kind as to send me. As she said above this post--they are Bachelor Buttons.

We were talking in another thread aobut them--(My mom used to plant them when I lived at home yet)--and Sheri was so kind as to offer to send me some.--.

and she did but, obviously that is not all she sent me--such a very kind person!!!!

Great gifts gals.

those are so nice....

I've got to start wearing gloves...my hands look like my feet

I heard someplace that it does not help to just own them---my source said yo have to actually wear them and get them all soiled---ah well--we shall see---

And Sheri!!!! As you can see it arrived safe & sound !!!
Thanks again !!!!!!!

It was so funny because I had mailed that when I received your box. Great minds think alike.

I have always said that !!!!

That's a terrific windchime - so perfect for you, Carol, and so sweet of Sheri to send it!

I really like that the frogs are stained glass and sheer - very nice!

very nice! gifters getting good gifts... that's awesome.

When I saw that chime I knew I had to get it. Evidentially there are people in the world besides Carol who love frogs.

I saw one a while back with cows on it and I got it for my grandson who loves cows.

Year ago we saw an elephant water fountain that was small and we've regretted not getting that. I've never seen another.

Wow, that is one cool windchime.

Love the gifts!! Especially the windchime, it is perfect for you Carol.
If I at least had a balcony outside my apartment I would have a windchime of some kind. I love hearing them.

DH is worried that if he puts my windchimes up for me they will break in the wind, and then I will be sad---I need to convince him I will be 'OK' if that in fact does happen.

Not to mention I can always take them down in if the weather gets 'rough', right???

Hang them in the inside of the house near where an open window would be...you get to hear and see them and don't have to worry about damage.

Good idea, tam---thanks---

or, hang them from a ceiling fan or air vent. i have 3 sets hung that way.

we even have a few hung from the ceiling at work.

you have a dropped ceiling at work don't you Sheri--that would be so cool---but I think I may put it in the computer room here on my ceiling fan--then I can look at it ever time I use the computer----

I'm so glad you like it.

yes, I love it!!!! Thanks you again so very much!!!!

I smile, again, every time I look at it !!!!

Sheri:
My DD Valarie was over last night----& she saw the Froggie/Froggie pad windchimes that you sent to me.---She thought they were the cutest things she had ever seen! (They are pretty cute)

So thanks again.

glad you like it. Did you hang it in a place where it gets a breeze so it can clang around?

no, I am sorry to say it is in the bedroom that has my computer----it is on the ceiling fan----when I told my DH where I wanted it to hang out on the front porch--he said to me--but it is glass won't it get broken if the winds get strong??/--so we looked around & it is in here where I can see it lots.

I hope that does not offend you--because I simply love it.--it is perfect!!!

it still clangs around--esp when I have the fan on.

Oh no. Nothing offends me anymore. I'm glad you've got it in a good spot for you. I'm just one of those people who uses the "good" china everyday and hangs the chimes out in the wind. So when you come to eat at my house you'll be eating off chipped plates.

You know the older I get the more I feel like that--

For a wedding present I got a good set of China--well for every holiday I bought heavy paper plates---so when we moved, I thought this is silly---& I bought a few more place settings of my 'good' china (E-bay is wonderful) and I now use the good china when I want and the every day-(corelle)- for all else---I do not know when I used paper last----

I would be honored to eat from your good china, chipped or not.

I think you should all rent Body Heat with Kathleen Turner and William Hurt and listen to the chimes.
