The Mister recently went on a business trip to Tennessee, where he didn't even TRY some Nashville Hot Chicken. I mean, come on! If you're somewhere new and fancy (not sure Tennessee counts as fancy), then you try the local cuisine. One of his lovely co-workers, out of the goodness of her heart crocheted me this gorgeous cashmere, cowl-neck scarf. LOVE IT. I feel so Claire from Outlander when I wear it.
So, I want to send her a gift, one crafty lady to another; and The Mister, who is a hater, says she will not know what to do with it. I say pshhbbttt. So my question is this: is it wrong to send somebody a crafty, hand-made gift if you're not sure it'll go with their personal style. Because, I guess quilted deer heads might not be for everybody. le sigh
Naw! I really do feel that a quilted, miniature wall-hanging of a deer head can go anywhere. Even if it's just in somebody's closet. Or, if she really feels it'll clash, she could re-gift it....or, let's be honest, trash it because I doubt I will ever find out. And if I ever do make it to her house and start wandering around searching for it, she can just tell me she lost it in a house fire. Who am I to know differently.
Tell me true, friends, should I send this to her, assuming as I do, that she'll at least think it's fun to get something in the mail and find it interesting at the very least, or should I listen to The Mister and make her something else?
It even has a little bit of French on one of the fabrics because she's originally from Quebec. Come on! I think it's a good gift. She likes that my kids are learning French. That reminds me, must have kids write her a thank you card on my behalf en Francais.
Let me hear it. What's your opinion on this dilemma.
