A few weeks ago I wrote <a href="http://www.everydaytreats.com/2011/05/that-old-hotel-trick.html">about adding a sense of place</a> when decorating your home.I live in Boston, so I mentioned the fact that I've always wanted a <a href="http://www.shrevecrumpandlow.com/history/gurgling_cod.aspx">Gurgling Cod</a> and that I finally was going to buy one.

A few days later, I received a nice email thank you from <a href="http://www.shrevecrumpandlow.com">Shreve, Crump &amp; Low</a>, which is a Boston jeweler and the only place that sells the Gurgling Cod.

Well, guess what?

A couple of weeks after that, I found this beautiful package on my doorstep.

Could it be? I didn't dare guess what could be inside. But I knew what I hoped for. Could it be?

It was!

Thank you to the people behind Shreve, Crump &amp; Low for the gift -- I love my gurgling cod in Nantucket red (so lovely!); it has found a permanent home on the living room mantle.

I think it looks happy, don't you?

I also love the handwritten note on real stationery. We're so lucky to have a company with such timeless style right here in Boston. Love you, Shreve!
