Ruby Loves - Meeting my Curious Friend!

Unless you've been living under a stone you will have heard about the fabulous Curiosity Project - the creation of Tiffany Grant-Riley.  I have been reading her blog over the last few weeks watching such lovely stories unfold as people send in photos of their gifts from fellow Curious Friends.

I sent my box of treats to Nat (who I now know to be my Curious Friend) on Monday and have ever since been waiting to see whether she liked the gifts I'd sent.  Today, to my relief, her comments were posted on the blog and she was happy with what I had sent to her.

In the meantime I came down with a horrible cough and cold so was feeling quite low and sorry for myself, then on Wednesday afternoon a knock at my door signalled the arrival of my box and I instantly felt a warm glow.  I was beyond excited, I took the wonderfully wrapped parcel into my bedroom and began to delve into its contents.

After opening the beautifully wrapped outer layer I discovered a box tied with string with an enticing label 'Open Me', inside under layers of turquoise tissue paper were a gorgeous photo/memory box, a set of silver beaded coasters and a white wicker heart.

Further thrills came when I looked inside the photo box and discovered a 'Curious Happiness Kit' and a beautifully handwritten letter from my Curious Friend.

The note comments on how the written word is a lost art and how nice it is to receive - so true! The note also describes what is included in the Happiness Kit:

A tea bag for those great moments of contemplation
A plaster to patch things up if they ever go wrong
Marbles, for when you lose yours
A coin, so you can never say you are broke
A candle so you can light your way
A battery for those times when you lack energy

I am delighted with all of my gifts - thank you so much Tiffany for creating such a delightful opportunity to put a smile on a strangers face!

For those of you wanting to join in, there is a new Christmas Project to sign up to but you must be quick, the registration deadline is the 7th November!

Stay curious my friends and spread the word!!

Lots of Love
