Ever Had Your Day Made?

Well today I did! For some reason I dread the postman, every day he seems to bring us some bad news or other. Today, just now, I heard him pushing something through the letterbox, he was struggling a bit then.....thump...it landed on the floor. I sort of held my breath a bit and said to myself 'please let it be good news today' and then I heard him struggling to get another package through the door and then ....thump, again! I went and picked up these two packages and thought they felt like buttons, hmm....why on earth would I know what was inside? A mispent youth maybe or too many hours spent with my Mum's button box as a child? I then thought that maybe the lady I had bought the buttons from on Ebay had taken pity on me and sent me her entire collection of 40's buttons, of course she'd do that, everyone's kind aren't they? Anyway...I opened the packages and yes it was buttons but from whom? I checked the back of the jiffy bags and it was from my dear Aunty Sally, although I am far too old to call her Aunty and besides which I think she's only 4 years older than me. Sally is my Mum's youngest sister and she reads my blog!! Sally read about my buttons and the lack of them and sent me loads, mostly belonging to my Great Aunty Beatrice. Sally had inherited them when Aunty Beat died and wondered what to do with them. Now I have a nice fat button box again. Thank you Dear Sally! xxxx
