Thank You ElizabethP

Ladies,

I pm'd Elizabeth but wanted to post as testimony of how awesome the YLF ladies are.

In January Elizabeth let me know that the Danier tunic she has (that she knew I really adored) was on sale and she would be happy to buy it and send it to me.  My heart sang:)

She mailed it the second week of Feb and I asked her to send it 'snail mail' as there was no hurry and it suited my budget.

We have exchanged a few pm's in the meantime as we patiently waited for it's arrival.  I think we both started to wonder if it would infact arrive, but my post lady assured me not to worry but to expect it to take 3 months!

So!!! Just got home and what had arrived!  Here it is in all it's glory.
I LOVE it.  And I am so grateful to Elizabeth for the trouble she went to.
And I was incredibly touched that she so kindly contacted me in the first place and offered to get it for me.  

I know that there is a lot of this type of thing going on behind the scenes with this community and I just want to say thank you to Elizabeth and to YLF for being such a wonderful, warm, kind and generous group of women.  You know I think it's those qualities that make you all so stylish!

xxx Deborah

    Oh I love human kindness and this Elizabeth and Deborah story. This tunic was certainly worth waiting for...it looks truly gorgeous on you. I'm astonished it took three months from the U.S.A. though......

  • Deborah replied 8 years ago

    DEB from Canada and apparently the 3 months is standard for surface? mail:)  I'm a bit excited as we have a family Mothers Day lunch booked Saturday and I might wear it.

    Great story! And love the top on you.

  • Elizabeth P replied 8 years ago

    Awww, Deborah, how kind of you to do this... thank you. :)

    You know I was happy to be able to do this for you.  Several YLFers have been good to me behind the scenes as well, and sometimes it's impossible to pay it back, so I was happy to see an opportunity to "pay it forward".

    I'm so glad that it a) arrived :)  b) fits and c) looks so SMOKIN' HOT on you!

    I hope you will enjoy wearing it!

  • Twinkling replied 8 years ago

    Does the tunic have a leather hem or back to it?

  • Beth Ann replied 8 years ago

    The best of YLF!  The tunic is marvelous, and Elizabeth showed her colors by making it all possible.

    You look terrific, Deb!

    What a sweet story, and a 3 month journey to boot...seriously can't understand how "surface mail" works.
    Gorgeous on you Deb and you'll think of Elizabeth every time you wear it!!

    PS...those boots are TDF
