Dear Helen,
I received your message (see above) in regards to the
Tasmanian Cherry hard candy question I posed to you yesterday,
and I just want to say:
Yippee, yay, yahoo, wonderful, fantastic, magnificent, excellent, terrific, cool, groovy, good, great, greater, greatest, superb, amazing, marvelous, incredible, out of this world extraordinary, and... (deep breath)...tremendous!
Oh, I mean, thank you, I really appreciate it, I’m grateful, pleased, obliged, and maybe even beholden and indebted?
I can't wait, well, I can, but I'm so excited, it will be difficult.
And please let me know when you are ready for your Marshmallows, Jello, and American canned Cheese Sauce.
Friends in Stitching,
Debra in Ohio
I met you at the Houston Quilt Market - I'm sure you remember each of the 100,000 people you met!! ha
That's me - 12 back and three in from the right....
Anyway, after enjoying your Schoolhouse Lecture (sorry that you are blurred in the picture, but the quilt wasn't blurry and I really wanted a pic of your creativeness, sorry, so so sorry),
I was given a very nice packet of candy, all wrapped up nicely in a shiny, crinkly bag and tied with a matching red ribbon.
I offered a piece to a friend and I ate one piece to sustain my energy through that busy afternoon.
Then I realized how good it was, and I stopped offering pieces willy-nilly, friend or not!
And then, in your booth when I bought some of your patterns (like "Life is Beautiful") and I colored [:)] with you, I was given another very nice packet of the delicious, red, hard candy.
This is the end of the first bag of deliciousness:
See how cute it is? See how the colors just jump out at you? Can't you almost smell the fruitiness of it?
The problem, you see.....
I think I am addicted to this very nice candy!!!
I have hoarded that candy. I have hidden that candy from myself. I have doled it out to myself.
I have stretched out those two little bags of delightfulness all of November, December, and almost all of January!
And, now it's almost gone. This is my gloom, despair and agony - I have only 2 two lonely pieces left.
(See my candy jar below?)
And can I find it anywhere in the United States?
That answer would be a big, fat, NO!
In capital letters!!! (I know, that's shouting in blog-land, but I feel like shouting!)
I also know, that there are many more important issues going on in this world today other than finding a candy.
So, not that this is a dire emergency or anything like that, but I am on a mission to find this candy.
I think that I remember that it was a Tasmanian Cherry hard candy. Is that right?
I don't need the very fancy candy that had Pattern Press wording made into it, though that was great too, because every time I picked one up I read the Pattern Press wording and I remembered the fun of Market.
I just love the color. I just L-O-V-E the burst of fruity flavor when you set one on your tongue.
I would like to fill my little candy jar that sits on my sewing table.
Fill my little candy jar many times over and over if it was possible.
And I promise that I would continue to dole it out sparingly.
Make it last for a v - e - r - y l - o - n - g t - i - m - e.
Oh, I know you didn't make it yourself, and it was probably a "Pattern Press" promotion, but do you have any information on this candy???
Do you know of a place that sells it. Distributes it. Makes it?
Could you please help? Any info at all!
To find this information I would bribe you do the following:
I would stitch your designs.
I would proof-read your copy.
I would wash your dishes.
I would pick thread clippings from all of your furniture and clothing.
(OK, those last two would be difficult given the ocean between us.)
I would even be willing to work out a trade if need be!
Do you crave anything American?
Marshmallows? Jello? American canned Cheese Sauce?
(I was drawing a blank on American thingys, sorry).
Anything?
Please let me know. I will work it into my schedule.
Thank you, Helen, for hearing my plea.
And, I promise I'll TRY not to stalk hassle trouble you again.
Your friend in stitching,
Debra from Ohio
