it began with the random choice of my reindeer shirt
the obvious selection for a springy-summery day
i wore it on a visit to my daughter
as we sat in her yard
i saw something
out of the corner of my eye
i looked over
to see this guy standing there
looking at me
he must have seen me
out of the corner of his eye
i headed over to
the hidden and understated
hard to find
artisan oasis
known as
motawi tiles
where i came across this beautiful
handcrafted tile
and i knew
this was the one i was meant to own
all signs pointed me clearly in this direction.

An awesome set of coincidences –
And yet some like the character of Jethro Gibbs believes not in quinkie-dinks :)
Made me smile… since especially part of my husbands’ family name could mean ‘deer’ – so add that to your list ;)

Don’t know why Beth, but this post made me smile – I think it is the Springy- Summery day with your daughter, the deer, the beautiful tile and then the quote from Jane Eyre – I do love that book.
