PILLOWCASES!!!

They're generally a SURPRISE!

you can never tell when you will get one

{or two if you are a married couple}...

You might get one in the mail or as a present:

 to commemorate a holiday...

{Christmas, Valentine's Day, Halloween, 4th of July}

as a remembrance of a hobby or special interest...

{surfing, snowboarding, knitting, dancing, computers, baseball,

for your birthday or Christmas...

or to celebrate a special time in your life...

Mattie reminded us of Charlie Brown!
here's a Snoopy-like puppy dog pillowcase

Several guests at our Christmas celebration received a PILLOWCASE this year... I hope they realize how SPECIAL these PILLOWCASES are?

FYI: the grandkids have been known to "let it slip" when they received a pillowcase in the mail (& none of them live in close proximity to each other)!

Rumor is: ACE might have the largest inventory of PILLOWCASES!

MOM may have to do a "recall" to inventory her gift-giving list!!! ha! ha!

holiday: single king-size Christmas case {1998 - year I was divorced}

special occasion: set of wedding pillowcases {November 2004}

JPE has a couple of pillowcases...

special interest: loves coffee {cups of java 2003?}

hobby: loves camping {moons & stars 2006?}

Okay - 'fess up ---- the rest of you!!!

Kidding aside {really --- I don't want to start a family war}... 

                                      these pillowcases are adorable!

                                        treasures that are well-used!

                                          a true LABOR-OF-LOVE!
