Just letting time take time, all is found. Really...it is true and the proof, well it's available here and here as well as in the photos above. The box of children's Christmas presents, handmade dolls, was found. It really wasn't a box afterall, but an envelope and it was in our pantry. Of all places, I would never have guess we would find it there. But alas, a little pantry sorting uncovered many things including the sweet dolls intended for my children. So Christmas was celebrated again, briefly in our house...on a chilly January evening. And it was perfect. Period.
Now would it be asking too much to find my green handknit shawl? Yes, that would really be lovely. I suppose it will resurface...all in (perfect) timing.
