I did a favor for a fellow artist. It was a small thing. I let her borrow one of my booth display items for a couple of years. I hadn't used it in a while, so it wasn't like I needed it. And, it was perfect in her booth.
A few days ago she returned it. In the bag with the display piece was a big thank you card. She mentioned there was a little something else in there as a thank you.

I only just now got around to opening the card. It's a really cute card with a fuzzy sheep. Inside was a smaller envelope with a gift card. Now, I'm not usually into gift cards. Most of the time, they are for places I don't even shop. And, when I get one, it is typically a $5 value card. I often end up giving them away because it's not worth the effort to go and use them.
Imagine my surprise when I found a $50 gift card for someplace I actually shop! Wow! It felt really good to know that she appreciated my favor so much.
