ellenkushnerI bought Delia a necklace from this artist for her birthday - we were at that amazing crafts fair at Lincoln Center 2 weeks ago, and it was almost the first thing we saw, and I'd just been thinking, When the hell am I going to have time to go shopping and buy her something . . .? We had to have it shortened (Delia loves saying that, like Anne Boleyn, she has a little neck), so the maker took it home to Maine to cut out a bit, promising to mail it to me in plenty of time. Since Delia doesn't remember much that doesn't have to do with tiles or wallpaper these days, I figured she'd forget all about it and I could spring it on her on her birthday next week on the 22nd.
This did not quite work as planned, since when it arrived in today's mail I spent a certain amount of time staring at the Overnight envelope and musing loudly, "Jodie in Maine? who the hell could that be? feels like a box! why would anyone be sending me overnight express from MAINE?!". . . until Delia said, "Oh!" and wryly remarked, "Well, at least it was a surprise for somebody."
