I didn't know where this post should go, but it's hair related so I stuck it here :)
Basically, in July, my family and I went to Hershey Park in PA. After the park day, we went to visit the Amish, but because it was Sunday, most of the stores were closed although we did get to see some families on the highway and some horse and buggies. So while the rest of my family was curious about Amish culture, I was secretly on the hunt for Amish pins. I had heard so much about them and have wanted to try them for so long since so many LHC'ers swear by them. As luck would have it, I didn't find any :( But, we did stop in this adorable shop were they sold Shoofly Pie. Got one of those and started chatting up the nice lady behind the counter. In passing, I mentioned that I was disappointed I could not find the pins and asked if they had any in the shop. She told me she didn't carry them, but she asked me to leave my name and address and she would send me some and a bill for whatever she was out of pocket. She was so nice and I didn't want to say no and risk offending her so I wrote down my info. Honestly, I didn't t really think I would hear from her again, but it was a very nice gesture.
So now it's been how long? Totally forgot this ever even happened. I got home last night, and wouldn't you know it, I got a suspicious looking padded envelope with no sender name on it. I squeezed it and felt it up trying to figure out what it was, and then finally decided to open it. It was a pack of Amish pins and a card from the place she got it from with a nice little note. It's funny because yesterday was a really crappy day at work. I was so upset on my way home, and that just made my day. It was so super sweet for a total stranger to do something so nice for me!
