I just got back from picking up the pot I mentioned in the earlier birthday post. While I was there, the man who owns the store (it's a small store), asked me what I had given myself for Christmas this year, when I told him I hadn't and I probably wasn't, he told me I could pick out anything I wanted in the store as a gift from him. I thought he was kidding but he wasn't. He absolutely insisted I take something so I ended up getting a handpoured candle I saw that I liked. I just thought that was a really nice thing for him to do and COMPLETELY unexpected.

Trina - the store is right in North Hampton so if you are in the area, check it out.

I am still smiling over this. It totally made my day.

Colette, what store is it? I'm curious! I have friends and family in the area and they might know the store owner.

What a lovely man! Boy, he not only managed to brighten your day but ours too! Maybe he believes in "paying it forward".
