I am so much like you. I often wonder if others cherish the sights of charming birds from the trees and other simple sides of life. I am so thankful that you shared your heart. Your new pillow cases are precious. What a treasure you have as well as a very special friendship!<br />Sincerely ~ Tricia AnneTricia Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16816590289832687210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873976739229103562.post-61748165588168838972009-04-27T15:33:00.000-04:002009-04-27T15:33:00.000-04:00Dot, those are beautiful! I have a pair of embroidered pillowcases that my momma make and I will cherish them forever. I love the white on white it so classic.<br /><br />I just wanted to say you are such a special person Dot. I truly LUV reading your blogposts. I don't care what you blog about something you say in every blog always touches my heart. Don't take this the wrong way....you're just like a greeting card. When I pick out a card for someone it has to say the perfect thing I want it to say and it has to be something I feel in my heart and to me that's how you write, as if you are a greeting card. Ok, that probably makes no sense at all to you. But trust me, it is a compliment!Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03841785244414475930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873976739229103562.post-45793115907213546112009-04-27T14:42:00.000-04:002009-04-27T14:42:00.000-04:00Oh Sweet P.

How sweet that she agreed to sell them to you! I know that they are extra precious to you. <br /><br />I am someone who appreciates the simple things too. I can find joy in all kinds of things. I know plenty of people who have a lot of money and expensive things, but they aren't necessarily happier. <br /><br />It's funny how people have different perspectives on the same thing. I love going to Parade of Home tours and every year they have one in northeast Indiana, which is not that far a drive from me. My ex and I would go together when we were married, and he came home depressed after the tours one year. He said it was because it made him realize we could never have those beautiful homes full of beautiful things. He asked if it did the same to me. No way! I said that I simply enjoyed looking at them and getting ideas of how to make my own home more beautiful! Geesh, some guys!<br /><br />KadyLife on Bonnie Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02900293336540009564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873976739229103562.post-68026538935306216922009-04-27T13:31:00.000-04:002009-04-27T13:31:00.000-04:00Mornin Dot! The pillowcases are so beautiful! You really should enjoy them on the bed as pillow shams, just for looks! I love the white on white.

I love your pillowcases and they remind me of the ones my Grandmother did back in the 1940s and 1950s. She did hers in colors. I have never seen all white before. <br /><br />I checked out Teresa's blog and love it, too.<br /><br />Thanks for writing such a great, homey-type blog.

You show such passion and love in every thought you put down in type. I can feel the tenderness and devotion you have for your family and friends in every blog you post. I can see God thru you in the way you speak of his blessings bestowed upon you and your life. Bless you for being the wonderful and warm person that I know you are. <br /><br />Have a wonderful week.<br />~AMY~At Home With Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13864027638045458688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873976739229103562.post-87924703074500867922009-04-27T10:41:00.000-04:002009-04-27T10:41:00.000-04:00It's really the simple things that are important in life.
