A letter

Dear Voskamp family, especially Caleb,

These words seem so inadequate, but thank you. Thank you for allowing the Spirit to work through your hands and for sharing the fruit of your labors with us. Blessings made of wood, work and love were uncovered and revealed to awestruck eyes today, a delayed delivery heightening the anticipation. The scent of freshly stained wood infused our house with it's fragrant aroma as we inhaled a little bit of the farm we have long admired and it filled our imagination with images of sawdust, hay and happiness. "So this is what Canada smells like!" 

We pray that your family enjoys many graces this Easter season!

Sincerely,

  3. Oh Charlotte, you are so lucky! Or rather, "blessed". So, so beautiful!

  4. We got ours on Monday or Tuesday. I, too, loved the smell when I opened the package. But I didn't get a special note :(

  5. Are you sure Paula? Ours was tucked down deep inside the envelope at the very bottom. We almost missed it.

  6. Sorry Paula,
    I guess I accidentally missed yours, so sorry. I will double check others in the future to make sure I don't miss ones.

  7. I want to know if Caleb would be open to crafting these so that we could have the opportunity to purchase one.

  8. Does Caleb Voskamp sell these? I would love to have one! A Holy Experience is another site my computer will crash on so I haven't been able to go there. :-( I'm thinking it's time for a new computer.

  9. Thanks for telling me to dig deeper. I went out to the burn pile and dug for the envelope. I tore it apart and there it was - my very own special note! Thank you Caleb!!
