You do know what a RAK is, right? It means Random Act of Kindness. It's like when you're in line at the grocery store and your cart is overflowing and some poor soul is behind you with a loaf of bread and a worried look. Of course you let them go ahead of you, don't you? It's like when going through the drive-up at Mickey D's and you tell the cashier you want to pay for whatever the person behind you is getting. It's like when you see a parked car with an expired meter and you find a stray quarter and buy them some time. Or, it's when a good friend, just out of the blue, sends you THIS:
Curious Deciduous dinnerware from Anthropologie. If you've been reading the blog and my FB posts, you know how I feel about shopping. There are two exceptions. T. J. Maxx, where I usually scan the clothes, but make a beeline to housewares, and Anthropologie, who I'm convinced only exists to torture those of us that love their offerings, but are either, 1) Too cheap to pay the prices, or 2) Too cheap to pay the prices. LOL I saw these dishes on the Pioneer Woman's blog and immediately fell in love with them. They are pretty. They are quirky. They just spoke to me. First thing I knew, the Fed Ex man was in my driveway with all but the dinner plate, which was back-ordered and came today. I love these dishes. THANK YOU MY FRIEND.
Just look at the plate:
Isn't it delightful? A puffin and a lighthouse and an umbrella and it's soooo cute. It's named "Flutter and Flight." (you can click on the pics to enlarge)
Then there's the salad plate:
There are no words to describe how much I love this. Just look at the blue bunny. It's called "A Rabbit Named Renee'".
The cup and saucer are adorable, as well. The cup is untitled, but the saucer, with the mushroom is named "Patch of Shade." What's cool about the cup (she sent two of these....{loverly}) is that it also has my initial on it:
These are by a Louisiana artist named Rebecca Rebouche'. I just love her style.
RAK's Rock!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, my friend.
May many blessings and RAK's come your way, too.
Brenda
