Package from Clarabelle

"Mail is here," yelled Kinsey from the door.
"What are you doing here when you are supposed to be on vacation?" I asked. "I thought you were going skiing."
"Yes, I am on my way," said Kinsey. "But I had to come by the office to drop off some keys. It looks like you have a package."
"How exciting!" I exclaimed. "All we usually get is bills."
It was from my sister, Clarabelle!
"Well, I will be on my way and I'll let you enjoy your mail. See you next week, Isabelle."
"Have fun Kinsey, and don't break a leg!" I jokingly called as she disappeared through the door.
I sat down and began reading.
"My dearest sis, Issy,
How wonderful it is to hear that you are well settled and have a job as a property manager. Congratulations! I always knew that you would do well. . . ."

It was a rather lengthy letter letting me know how she is, and what she has been up to.
"I am currently enrolled in culinary school and I am loving it. . . ." 
Wow, my sister is becoming a cook! She has one year left of her apprenticeship and is hoping to come out and see me when she is done.
". . . Inside the box you should find a wallhanging that I had custom made by the famous blacksmith, Eleboril. Hopefully it will make you smile. Loving hugs and kisses, Clara."
I could hardly wait to open the big box.
When I opened it, I saw the most incredible wall sculpture and tears sprang to my eyes.  
As young elflings, I would always draw a house very similar to this. I said that one day it would be my castle that I would live in forever. I cannot believe that Clarabelle remembered and had it reproduced! This is so special to me.
I will definitely hang this on the office wall. I really miss my sister.
Cheerio,
Isabelle

    Hi Isabelle!
    What a wonderful surprise that must have been . . . almost like having another Christmas!! And what a delightful present, perfectly appropriate for a property manager I would say, it will look lovely hanging on your wall.
