Good Things Come In Small Packages

White Oak Studio TVYarn in Buffy The Vampire SlayerOne of the reasons I love buying things from Etsy is that I've met so many incredible creative people, most of whom are just good folks to boot.

A week or so ago I ordered some sock yarn from White Oak Studio, their TVYarn in her Buffy The Vampire Slayer colorway. When a little package showed up on my doorstep yesterday, I was super excited, because I thought I'd have to wait to see it until I got back from the tour in a month. When I tore open the envelope, I mentally added this little gem to my stash, to be knitted into a pair of socks for my mother-in-law (who's a die-hard Buffy fan), and lamented that there wouldn't be enough to make me a pair too. Well, I needn't have worried-- when I opened the bag, there were two sets of yarn instead of only the one I ordered, and a sweet note from Jana in happy handwriting saying she'd decided to send me two.

I sat and giggled to myself like a little girl. In today's day and age, it's so rare to find a person who gives so easily, much less a seller. I almost literally skipped into the office to show D, who laughed and smiled in turn at my smile. It's the small things that make the world such a happy place, I guess.
