Fig Bounty

Geo (a.k.a. Fig) from Tryst Press and I arranged a swap.  I sent her just a little something, and she, generous lady, sent me a delightful package.  A few items are not pictured–dried flowers have settled into a little vase on the telephone table, near the little gourd pictured here, and her fruit rolls have settled quite nicely in my belly.

There’s some honey and tea and yarn and recycled yarn bras (clever, isn’t she?  She made them from mesh flower wrappers), an adorable butterfly pen, and then there are the paper products.  She sent me two blank booklets, a set of notecards (I’m a letter writer, so these will be happily used), a set of gift enclosure cards, and a journal with a lock.  "And when did you last have a locking book?" she wrote in her letter.  That made me giggle.  It was second grade, Paddington Bear.  There’s a Christmas DVD that I’ll use to get me into the holiday spirit as the season approaches.  I’ve already been enjoying The Chichester Carols by Leslie Norris, as well as a copy of "Pursuit of Excellence," a program that her church’s women’s organization is using.  She also sent a beautifully inscribed copy of the Book of Mormon.  As I often feel that my spiritual life needs more attention than I’ve given it of late, I’m grateful to her for motivating me to attend to it.

I love the work that Tryst Press does.  Thank you, Geo, for sharing so much of yourself with me! xx
