latest ebay experience...

so i had a pretty awesome experience today with my latest ebay purchase. i bid on a handmade native american fringed medicine bag to wear around my neck and house my crystals. when i received it in the mail today, there was a letter enclosed:

"liz,

hello! thank you for your purchase. it is my first e-bay sale so i am very excited and grateful that you were willing to bid on a newby with no feedback. i have a silly habit of sending letters with my purses when they are shipped, that is the reasons are varied but the biggest reason is to try to explain somehow that these bags- even the littles- are my brain child and i try to treat them with the greatest of care from the time i buy the hide (my little girl is jostling me, please excuse the handwriting) the hides are treated with care and if stored, not for long and in a closed basket i designated for them. when it is time for a particular hide to be used, it is moved to my "work basket." my work basket is nick-named the womb. i am very picky about the womb. i cannot start a new hide until the last is totally used and the womb cleaned of scraps/messes. no plastic can be in this basket, but there are several stones and things in there. when the basket is at rest, i cover the contents with a dreamcatcher in the form of an antler. all of my scraps are buried in the forest so no slight piece of energy from any purse is in a landfill. there are many silly details, but i send this letter so that you can know, this really is a medicine bag. i hope you like her. if not, you've got my address.

thanks again!"

if lily only knew how happy this made me... i wish more people (including myself) could take the time, thought process and energy that she exudes and put that into every part of their life... wow, how amazing this world would be!
