Sometimes I want to a make a little something, but have no idea what to do since I am so new to sewing. One of your "here" links gave me an idea of something to make. <br /> <br />If I do take a hostess gift, we usually take flowers. It is always but that's what I do. I've had people bring me gifts of coffee and wine, and it's awkward because Arthur and I drink neither of those. So I am always so appreciative of the gesture, but in the back of my mind I think what am I going to do with this. We still have a bottle of wine and a bag of starbucks coffee in the pantry.<br /><br />When I was growing up in New Jersey, I had a friend with a Japanese mother. Everytime we asked the little girl over, she brought a gift. Her mom said it was not polite to come to someone's house when invited with no gift. Imagine how awkward it was for me when I was invited to spend the night at their house and showed up empty handed.Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16067872560398180920noreply@blogger.com
