A young bride-to-be and her mother rushed into the store. They urgently needed a hummingbird figure for the Wedding Cake and the Wedding was this coming Saturday. The cake was to have red roses on it and bride had her heart set on a hummingbird. They had searched everywhere – Michaels and other craft stores, gift stores, party stores, pet stores – without success. They were getting desperate.
Their eyes lit up when they noticed the small fabric hummingbird figures I use as displays on my hummingbird feeders. Perfect. Just the right thing. Instant joy. While most customers are happy when they exit the store, these two may have been the happiest of all time.
In my mind I can picture the wedding cake topped with a hummingbird, guests commenting on it and the bride just beaming. It made me happy too.
