And how wonderful that in addition to the chandelier, you'll always have a heart warming story to treasure. So agree with you that events in the last month have been hard to fathom. Some people think that in these difficult times, decorating our homes is silliness. But it's where our hearts live and today many hearts around the country are smiling.home before darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272062955786414729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-58905223893494113542013-10-17T20:19:11.927-04:002013-10-17T20:19:11.927-04:00What an incredible story.

I think there's a bigger message here about how following your heart and doing what you love mean that you are living in alignment with your soul/purpose/calling. And when you do that, you are living with intention and integrity, whether it's scrubbing loos in Africa or scouring HomeGoods. Kindness is a natural by-product of integrity. Of course Jane contacted Beth! I'm betting it never occurred to her to do otherwise. Thanks for sharing this story and inspiring us all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-73496345146909431172013-10-13T09:00:43.521-04:002013-10-13T09:00:43.521-04:00Wow!

It will be fabulous in her dining room, and I'm sure we are all anxious for the reveal!<br /><br />Beth~ It was fun to meet you! I wish we could have visited longer. I am so glad we connected and all the pieces of that beautiful chandelier are now with you. I hope our paths cross again soon. Will it be at HomeGoods? Drooling over RL lighting or perhaps some other Chinoiserie finds?<br /><br />Jane<br />Alexandria, VARoland~Ax, VAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11124749714054665460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-62109047403557210202013-10-13T07:34:16.946-04:002013-10-13T07:34:16.946-04:00OMG this story is AMAZING!!!!

I am delirious for you, Beth, and for Jane too. Utterly amazing! How gratifying for both of you! I loved your post in it's entirety and want to tell you that you are a true blessing to the throngs of us who follow CC on a daily basis. To say that you are deserving of this kind gesture on Jane's part is an understatement. I REALLY CAN. NOT. WAIT. to see this chandelier once installed and I know you will treasure it all the more because of how it all came together.
