Remember Rebecca, the lovely lady who sent me those longed-for Primuline teacups and saucers a few weeks ago? Well, when I arrived home from my dad's after our family's Christmas Day celebration, I had a second package from her waiting, this time with nine more pieces, including a spare saucer to go with the cup-and-saucer sets she sent earlier and …
Eight of the gorgeous gold-rimmed dessert plates! Years ago, my mother surprised me with the plates at Christmas. This year, Rebecca has surprised me with the matching dessert plates.
And my favorite Christmas dessert is Daddy's coconut cake, some of which I brought home with me and promptly enjoyed on a new Primuline plate. While Christmas was different this year without my beloved Alex, the day was still a good one, and I continue to count my blessings—including the greatest one, the gift of a Savior, as well as earthly blessings like a kind stranger who gifted me with teacups and saucers and dessert plates. I hope your Christmas was a good one too!
What a nice surprise! And perfect timing. I know you will continue to enjoy them. Yes, my Christmas was wonderful too. Wishing for many blessings for you now and all through the new year.
