a happy surprise

I'm not referring to the election results (although those were very nice).  No, I'm talking about a surprise gift that came in the mail last weekend.  Check it out:


I'm not a tatter, but I can appreciate talent and skill and LadyTats Lace has it in spades!  Look at the beautiful bookmark she made just for me!  Doesn't it look like flowers on a vine?  I keep lifting it up to examine another segment of it, marveling at her handiwork.  She even topped it off with a delicate silver leaf at the end.  All this cleverly made out of thread--I can't get over it.  Heck, I can barely knit a straight stitch with yarn and size 7 needles.  How she did this is beyond me.


Of course a gift so fine deserves a proper "christening," so I grabbed a brand new hardcover book to properly use my lovely new bookmark.  Doesn't it look good between those pages?


I haven't received a surprise gift in ages, and something so carefully crafted, too.  Thanks, Ladytats

Spill it, reader.  What wonderful surprise has someone given you recently?
