"Sleepless In Seattle"

Do you remember the scene in "Sleepless In Seattle" where the mailman catches Tom Hanks on his rainy dock just as he is about to enter his boathouse? He hands him a small bundle of mail, Tom Hanks exclaiming that it's quite a bit. "That's not all of it!" responds the mailman as he points to a huge mail sack overflowing with letters.
I adore movies with mail, and today I was lucky enough to have my own "mail moment!" An actual tote filled with the hearts of friends.
It seems Jane of Wyldhare twittered to a few of our mutual Bluebird pals and asked if they would like to send me a heart that they would make.
All the years that my mother and I would sew and send hearts in the mail, we never owned a heart ourselves. What a wonderful gift! Lisa of Craftyless made this adorable cuckoo clock heart! How perfectly cheerful. I love the vintage colors.
My dear sweet Chelsea Ann of Itty Bitty Birdy sent along sunshine which is the essence of who she is to me. "Shine" says the back of her heart.
Vivian of Viv out on a Whim is my crafting hero! I aspire to be as creative and as productive as her. We have actually met each other in person and found kindred hearts over Halloween pincushions immediately!
Her heart rests among pearls. Very fitting, I think!
Laura of Lallee's Cottage took a moment away from her Pet Patrol to make me a heart after my own hope and desire. One day I WILL own a Scottie dog, but until then I can enjoy this heart with it's adorable Scottie button.
Elizabeth of Beth's Bagz! EAK! The Queen of Dimestore Chic sent a heart that is so her - so me! Colorful and fun and just lovely. Note her postcard! What a character! Love her!
Natalie Jo of Piccalilli Days, what can I say? I have long admired her intricately quilted hearts. Sigh. How special.
Lastly today, a heart from Lisa of Barncat - Always Home. A place to "go country!" Can one person ever have too many bluebirds in their life? I don't think so.
A remembered scene again from a favorite movie as Tom Hanks pulls down a classroom United States map while making his son hamburgers for dinner, "Do you know how many states there are between Seattle and Baltimore?.... Well, a lot! That's how many!"

A lot. I have a lot of friends with a lot of talent who live in a lot of different states who sent me a lot of hearts that arrived on my doorstep in a mail tote. Thank you one and all for this happiest of days! Elizabeth
