So very lucky.....

Oh gosh, how do you say thank you for such a lovely gift.  

A very dear friend sent this to me in the hopes I could use it - and indeed I can.  It was her grandmothers, and so is very old, and in perfect condition.

I'm full of ideas, ranging from the 1880's right through to the 1920's.

So thank you my dear!  I definitely owe you a lunch next time you come over.
