Two years ago, a couple of months before Christmas, I ventured to Full Cycle Wood Works to purchase a piece of walnut for a rolling pin. Was I going to make the rolling pin? Heavens NO. But I was hoping my hubby would. (you can read in a previous post of what I did with it..that would be 2 yrs ago "Dec. 15, 2010" post, I think).
No rolling pin 2010. No rolling pin for birthday, or anniversary or Christmas 2011.
But Christmas Eve, 2012, my true love gave to me....the most beautiful walnut rolling pin...a piece of art and perfect craftsmanship. I cried, he cried, Maggie cried. I told Maggie it is to be hers and passed on down for generations to come. He had no pattern but his own talent and instinct. It is a treasure. It rates right up there with that beautiful shiny new green Schwinn 26" bicycle Santa brought me when I was a little girl....in fact, it may top it for first place!
Love you Rose Bud!
