a gift for Buffy...or the kindness of people you haven't yet met

A few weeks ago after I posted a picture of the vampire slayer with her infamous red luggage tag hanging around her neck, Rachael of the beautiful blog A Room for Everyone emailed and said she could stand it no longer and was buying Buffy a new tag. I said "Really? You really want to do that? She's a horrible cat you know!" or words to that effect.
But sure enough, this wonderful, generous, kind hearted blogging friend did just that! And it's Buffy bling...and I love it to bits! And just quietly I think the slayer does too :)


Here she is modelling her gorgeous new tag (and of course I had to go and get her a new collar befitting of the glamour, as the other one was decidedly tatty)
And Rachael also included a lovely, gorgeously wrapped and very thoughtful gift for me...
...a beautiful handmade notebook which will be put to very good use. Oh yes it certainly will.
So thank you Rachael...your kindness and generosity has overwhelmed me.
And thank-you...all of you...for the most wonderful 10 months of blogging friendship. I continue to be amazed by your genuine interest in others, your care and concern when things go pear shaped, your willingness to support and nurture ideas or dreams. The things you write, make, bake and create are a constant source of inspiration...I want to be just like all of you when I grow up :)
I'm going to walk away from the computer for a little while now while I'm in Newcastle with my parents, but I'll see you sometime in the New Year. So I'll let Ben's wonderful graphic say...
Love to you and yours from me and mine. And if you're travelling...stay safe xx

  3. My 4 year old daughter is sitting next to me and she just said, "Mummy, why are you crying and smiling at the same time?" Your words are so generous, thank you! Buffy looks beautiful with her bling. Have a lovely time in Newcastle, will catch up with you when you return. Merry Christmas! Love Rachael xx

  5. I think the slayer will need to start a sartorial blog...looking good Buffy! Rachael is very sweet and you will have her to thank when the cat makes you your first million.

    Have a great Christmas, Kerry!

  17. Now that's more like it! How wonderful of Rachael to do that for the Bufster. What lovely pics too, she looks like a star, though I'm worried she might start charging you appearance fees.
    Have a wonderful Christmas Kerry. I so enjoy your blog and also the lovely comments you leave on mine. Take care x

  18. Excuse me while I just blot a tear, I hope no one at home notices. Isn't it amazing how a blogger you have never met, can do something so lovely for another blogger you have never met and it can reduce you to tears. I am so lucky to have met all of you wonderful ladies. Merry Christmas to you and yours Kerry, Hope you have a joyous Christmas. I do love Buffy's bling and new collar and I can tell she thinks she is the "ant's pant's" Debxxx

  20. Oh, my! Gee, this bloggy caper is good for the soul, Kerry. From such an unprompted display of kindness to your thoughtful and caring encouragement for a newbie blogger like me - surely there's nothing better!

    Enjoy seeing your parents, Kerry - no doubt you will treasure that time.

    See you in Blogland soon, my friend! J x

  22. I opened a cupboard at home last night & saw our dear departed Miss Chole's bling collar looking at me. I'd forgotten I'd tucked it away, & it made me a bit teary. So seeing Buffy looking so resplendent warmed my heart today Kerry! Merry Christmas to you & your lovely family.
