Pity Gift
Yesterday, when I went to a friend’s house, she gave me this…..
She called it a “pity gift”.
She and her 3 daughters give them to each other when something unpleasant happens and they need a little lift.
I was tickled to get it because I really DID need a lift!
Inside, I found…..
Isn’t this the cutest candle ever? I love the tea-stained cheesecloth, the old jar, the brown paper label, and the old string. It smells good, too!
PERFECT.
I put in on the shelf in front of my ironstone platter and beside my tan crock-bowl.
I like the idea of a gift-just-because. I’m going to keep my eyes open for someone who could use a pick-me-up and try to pay it forward.
Here’s to friends who notice!
Hugs,
What a sweet gesture from your friend! They really do know how to pick us up, The candle is darling. Hope you are feeling happy today! 🙂
XO,

You really know how to pick your friends! How sweet and thoughtful was that. I LOVE it. Hope you enjoy your sweet candle.
It is always nice to get a gift. You are lucky!
How sweet is that! Sometimes our friends know just what to do to cheer us up. I hope everything is okay and you just had a "down" day and you are not facing something serious. xo Diana
I know it! Extra fun when people are on top of things like that Haha…the pulse of a friendship.
It is just as fun to surprise somebody that way too! No need to spend much $ either.
Such awesome friends. Your candle looks great in front of the ironstone.
Cute candle! Isn't it wonderful to receive unexpected gifts? And it's even better to give them. That's being extraordinary for sure!
That was very sweet!~CUTE too.
