Don't tell me the Universe doesn't work in strange and mysterious ways.
After I wrote my post about the hummingbird, Betsy from Funky Mama Bird wrote to say I had won these beautiful bird nest earrings she makes. I had entered the contest on Mother's Day, and she had done the drawing and posted the winner last Wednesday.
Thanks to all of you who wrote me kind words yesterday. I really appreciated them all.
My sister summed it all up in a note to me when she said, "Didn't that little bird know what a symbol he had become?"
Now thanks to Betsy, I'll have these earrings to commemorate the short life of the tiny bird who shared our lives for a brief time.
These couldn't have come at a better time.
Hope you are all having good Sundays and have sunny skies above you!
Great earrings and them came at a perfect time. Now you have to post a picture of you wearing them.
Wow, those are so pretty and I can't think of anyone who would appreciate them more. I'm glad you won them!
How wonderful, Betty. Those earrings are the perfect symbol of your journey. Yes, the universe moves in mysterious ways.
Those are so cute and original. And yes, the universe does work in mysterious ways. Sorry to hear about the hummingbird.
The perks of blog connections are never ending. I'm glad you won. Those are really creative, fun earings.
I was at Lowes this morning and thought of you. There are so many birds living in their garden department, it sounded like i was in some zoo exhibit!
It's a beautiful sunny day here in Maryland. Hope yours is too.
What wonderful timing indeed - those earrings are absolutely gorgeous and a lovely way to soften the blow of the poor chick losing the fight for life.
Because of you, that little hummingbird had an effect on so may of us, and I am so glad you will have the earrings to remind you of his life with you. Congratulations, Betty! We love you!
Wonderful story. I love the earrings too.
What wonderful timing. The earrings are beautiful and I'm sure no one would cherish them more than you. Congratulations on winning them.
Beautiful earrings for a beautiful lady - perfect!
They are absolutely gorgeous - congratulations!!! What a talent Betsy is - they're absolutely lovely and you deserve to have won these. They're perfect!!
That is just too perfect. It's a sign, BB. You were meant to have those earrings, and be the mama bird forever!
Isn't that amazing that you got those earrings just when you needed them most? And they really are beautiful - what a wonderful prize!
I hope you're having a good Sunday, too!
what lovely earrings and so timely.
Oh that is perfect timing. Such cute earrings!
Awwww Betty, that is so awesome!!! I don't know who deserves them better than you - how fitting too, bird nests? Wear them in good health.
There was a reason Betty. God saw you taking such good care of his little creature, he wanted to send you a sign of gratitude for the respect and love you gave to one of His own.
Enjoy your beautiful earrings. And they are. You deserve them.
Oh, that's amazing! And the earrings are so pretty.
My tears from the last post are replaced with a big smile today. Yes, I do believe that the Universe brings you exactly what you need, when you need it. And what better way to honor that little life that we enjoyed for a few short weeks.
Congrats on winning and what better prize to receive than those earrings. They are indeed a splendid reminder of your hummingbird.
How wonderful you won such pretty earrings..the workd works in strange ways doesn't it?
Those are so pretty! What a perfect gift at a perfect time!
Your new earings are beautiful!! You are very lucky!!
Let the soul of the baby bird live through you when you wear these earrings. You shall move at amazing speed; you shall thrust your nose into every flower (as if you don't already); you shall drink nectar and in that sugar rush your mind will flood with rarefied and luminous phantasms; and you shall make a palpable whirring sound without any plausible physical basis whatsoever.
How ironically cool is that!
It is so amazing that now you'll have something beautiful to remember something beautiful?
I'm so happy you won those!! How beautiful!!!
Love the earrings. Definitely a fitting tribute.
WOW what an amazing divine thing, beautiful earrings Betty!!!
What a great way to help cheer you up!
