Sunday night I came home from a visit to a Young Women's activity to find a delightful surprise. I found this hanky, note and a cute wedge shaped box with treats. The best part? It was allegedly from Mr. Edward Ferrars.
You know Edward. No, not that vampire, Edward. This one is the subdued gentleman, Edward Ferrars, from Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. It is one of my favorite novels. And Hugh Grant played the character opposite Emma Thompson in the 1995 film version. I can't complain about that either.
This was a wonderfully creative surprise left on my porch by a dear friend. The trouble is, I haven't identified that dear friend yet. I am lucky to have several friends who are as devoted Jane Austen fans as I am. So far no one is 'fessing up. If I can't nail down this giver of such a delightful gift soon, I will be forced to just accept the anonymity of it and enjoy the idea of a clever, Jane Austen-loving friend out there who cares enough for me to do something like this on Valentine's Day.
That sounds pretty good to me.
