How beautiful a day can be when friendship touches it.
I have been hibernating inside to avoid the
frigid temperatures so I have not been to the post office in days. When I
finally retrieved my mail I was surprised to see a package from my dear friend,
Vonna. I was even more surprised when I opened it and found these
beautiful gifts tucked inside...
2013 Birthday gift from Vonna
I am wondering which of my neighbors heard my loud
gasp when I unwrapped this gorgeous treasure...
Yes, dear sweet Vonna gifted me with one of her
truly stunning pocket watch necklaces. She recently posted about this pocketwatch finish on her blog. Not only was I impressed with her beautiful stitching
and finishing, I am impressed with her creative mind. I would
looked at that pocket watch in the store and see a pocket watch but Vonna looks
and sees the perfect finishing for a gorgeous cross stitch necklace...I want
her creative vision!
Honesty, I just can't stop looking at this
beauty...
Designer: With Thy Needle and Thread
Design: Snow Bird Pinkeep
Fabric: 32ct French Blue Linen over 1
Stitched and beautifully finished by:
VONNA
My birthday surprise also included a wonderful
project bag constructed with some "Party Girl" fabric, too cute!
The large fabric bag is perfect for my Prairie Schooler ABC project and
it looks so much nicer than the zip lock bag I currently use. As if that
was not enough she sent me a perfectly sized, hinged lid, Vera Bradley bag that
can be used to store my needlework accessories. Vonna sent these beautiful
new scissors that are now safely tucked inside...
What a truly generous, thoughtful birthday
surprise from one of the nicest people I know. I am deeply touched and
truly blessed to be considered her friend.
Those that know Vonna would certainly agree
that there are no words to adequately express what a kindhearted, selfless,
caring person she is.
Thank you again my dear friend for your wonderful birthday surprise filled with beautiful treasures. Most
importantly, thank you for the precious gift of your friendship and for always
being there. I will leave you with this verse, which describes you perfectly, a
verse that I know you will understand:
A friend will
Strengthen you with her
prayers,
Bless you with her love, and
Encourage you with her hope.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!
Until Next time...
Until Next time...
