Found a friend

[offcntr]

Stopped at the St. Vinnie's off River Road with Denise, looking for fabric for her bookbinding class. Since JoAnn went belly-up, there's no good fabric store nearby (that isn't Hobby Lobby. feh.), but you can occasionally find bits and scraps in the thrift stores. While she was going through the bins of fat quarters, I perused the end caps.

And found a friend.

This is a bulb forcer, for getting narcissus bulbs to bloom in winter. I have one much like it in my cupboard at home. It's by my late friend, Kathy Lee.

persistence of work

[chefxh]

How lovely and happysad to find your friend's work and bring it home. Everything I do turns to shit or garbage in 24 hours.

Usually I would say "her memory for a blessing," which certainly applies, but you have something a bit less ephemeral, as well.

I actually decided not to bring it home, I have one already in my cupboard. So I left it there for some other lucky person to find.
