Charity cannot keep a secret. We were shopping at April Cornell awhile back when I found the cutest table runner. It was black velour with red poppies embroidered along the ends. We both marveled at the low price and I admired it for several minutes before dashing to buy it. After we got home and began looking through our purchases, I pulled out the table runner again. I wrapped it around my neck like a scarf just to be funny- when we both realized it was a really good-looking scarf.
So, it became a scarf instead of a table runner. I swore her to secrecy and I’ve worn it on several occasions since then. Tonight I grabbed it while I was running out the door to church. As I found my seat at church tonight I saw Charity look at my scarf and smirk. She’s my best friend…but she’s also a feisty sneak. (I can say that because she doesn’t read my blog…hehehe)
After church tonight, everyone was doing their regular mingling-and-chatting-about-the-latest-news when I heard someone say that they loved my scarf. They weren’t speaking to me so I pretended not to hear them. That’s when Charity whispered quite loudly, “Oh, that’s really a table runner.”
I tried to explain but everyone was laughing too hard. It’s really a pretty table runner and if you saw me on the street- honest, you wouldn’t know the difference.
