Heart Song Greetings Swap AnnaM

Finding ourselves in a most peculiar time indeed...so let us take the advice of our beloved Jane Austen during these harrowing times:

DON'T SULK!

INSTEAD...BUSY YOURSELF WITH MEANINGFUL TASKS SUCH AS:

SEWING:

TAKING A WALK:

DANCING:

HAVING A DEEP, MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION:

READING A BOOK:

FROLICKING WITH YOUR SISTERS:

HAVING YOUR SISTER DO YOUR HAIR:

PRACTICING YOUR SMOLDER:

OR JUST SIMPLY SITTING IN QUIET CONTEMPLATION:

No matter how you choose to busy yourself during this most Inconvenient time...just remember, things will look much brighter TOMORROW!

YES! TOMORROW!!

Sending you this Heart Song Greeting with the warmest tidings. Stay healthy, dearest friend.

Very truly yours, Priscilla (Jill)

Warm Holiday Wishes, Lady Elizabeth

Hi Jane!! Thank you for the thoughtful swap items!! The linen will make a lovely little needle book, and I will enjoy creating it and using the beautiful thread and ribbon you also included!! And then I read your little note - 1880's - heavens!!! What a true treat!! I shall treasure the pieces and I shall have such a fine needle book when I am done! You are so sweet!

Happy Birthday!

Dearest Jane, Thank you for the loveliest of birthday gifts. I adore the little doll you made for me. I shall treasure it. ♥ Anna
