One day I had an email from Brook.
She said a package with several vintage items was on its way to me. Together, we anxiously awaited its arrival...you know how the mail can be. Finally it was delivered to the Post Office. My husband came in carrying a very large box over his shoulder. I was so excited to see the vintage items she had sent. Everything was carefully laid in this cute little white suitcase. There were so many adorable items. I love every one of them Brook. How did you know I would? I appreciate your thoughtfulness so very much. You are sweet, Sweet As Sugar. Today I am passing this award along to you!
Where OH where, has the tiny white suitcase gone? Yes, I should have guessed it. The "soupcase" was quickly claimed and re-purposed for other things! Brook, you brought such a fun sparkle to a cold dreary day. Thank you for your kind thoughtfulness all those long miles away.
Have a sweet as sugar week.
Love, Rachel

Any "real" money in that "soupcase"? Seems like a perfect place to keep all manner of little girl treasures!
Rachel, thanks so much for visiting hill country house.Your romantic porch blog is delightful and I, to, will be back to visit you!
Loved the pretty vintage collage...looks as if it should go on the front of a magazine! Your mantle looked so pretty, too! (yesterday) Congratulations on the award...you so deserve it! Have a good day!
How wonderful to get such a gift in the mail! I love the postal service for all the goodies and magazines they bring my way every day! I will go visit her site. Thanks!

Hi Sweet Rachel!
How nice of you to mention me and my blog (and Zeke!).
All the vintage items you received from Brook are over the top beautiful - the suitcase, ooops - soupcase is great. I especially love the vintage tea cup!
I love how "your assistant" re-purposed the item to My Little Pony specifications - hmm, now who does that remind me of? A chip off the old block - cute.
Thanks for giving me a shameless plug sweets. Shayne and I are still on our mini-vacation now - so gotta go. You make everything sweet dear Rachel and brighten so many people's days.
