The good people of our world.

This weekend the bestie, Laurie and her girls

and myself not only saw THE HUNGER GAMES

but went to Southdown Plantations craft show.

This year I loved it as there were a few booths

that not only had vintage things but

also had old furniture that had been remade into

other things. I was fired up when I found a booth

owned by a woman from Prairieville.

She had vintage linens for sale for a great price!

I bought two sets of old pillow cases.

One was a set that was hand embroidered

to say Mr. and Mrs.

Remember back in the day when a couple would

get married they would almost always get a set of

these pillow cases from either a grandmother

or an old auntie who lovingly had placed each stitch?

I had to have them, even if they were stitched in pink.

The second set was starched white king size pillow cases

with hand stitched decorations on ends.

They were only 8 dollars a piece but I fell in love with

them right away. When I got home, I could not

wait to get them, wash them and put them away

for the new house.

However, I realized that somehow I had dropped the bag

that not only held my pillow cases but a pecan pie, my favorite!

I was devastated but decided that by a long shot, I would leave

messages at Southdown and with those I had business cards for

in case the package would be turned in.

While texting Bestie with this news I was upset because

I didn't think I would ever see those pillow cases or

that pecan pie again. I even ashamedly admitted,

"Shoot if I had found them, I don't know if I would turn them in."

I chalked it up to a loss and hoped the one who found them

would love them as much as I would have.

Yesterday, though I have a missed call with a voice message.

Southdown called to say someone had not only turned

in my pillowcases but even my pecan pie!

I was laughing out loud, could not believe this!

I called the girl right back to claim my package.

To admit to her as well as many others

that there are still many, many awesome people

in this world, especially our small towns of bayou Lafourche

and Terrebonne. I am going to pick up these treasures

today and now, more than before they have

a story to tell.
