she GAVE them to her...

ok, so i think this is so cool!

i was reading this blog i frequent...

i read about how this 82-year-old, stranger recognized that this blogger would appreciate her collection of old paper bags, so she literally GAVE them to her... how cool is that???

i've copied what she wrote on her entry...

" Remember the paperbags in the newspaper...a lady of 82 years sent me an email, telling she would love to give her collection of paperbags to me. We met through NRC-next and by surprise we live in the same city.

I gave her a visit this morning and stayed for almost 3 hours! We talked a lot about craftwork and art and ofcourse she told me every story that goes with the beautiful paperbags!

And i didn't surprise me at all that she had lots of collections!

That's what it is all about. Meeting people, listening to the stories, memories and things to look out for... i made me happy when i cycled home with the sun in my face! "

i am just kinda of amazed that things like that still happen, in this day-in-age...actually, i guess stuff like that used to happen. i just love collections so much, so imagining someone discovering something that i really considered treasurable, and then to GIVE their life's collection to ME, would be beyond words. it's the little things in life, right?

this was one lucky lady...
