A Gift Made & Given with Love 

Picture
Picture
I was totally surprised when arriving home the other day to find an unexpected package from my home island of Guernsey.
When I opened it ...I was so wonderfully surprised.
All prettily wrapped with lots of love and care.
In Robin Blue tissue paper all tied up with a lovely organza , same colored ribbon.
Picture
There inside was a lovely handwritten letter ...saying wonderful things that I will treasure forever.
And then I saw a white envelope and found this glorious hand made card inside.
The sender knew me well as it incorporated everything that I love.
The package and it's beautiful contents where made and  came from a dear, dear Friend.
Picture
Inside were these sentiments ...as you can see it came from 'Mary'
Mary and I were the very BEST of Friends in our school days.
We were inseparable and sat by each other at lessons etc..
Unfortunately when we graduated school ...we simple didn't keep in touch.
Being that Guernsey is a tiny Island our paths did cross.
But always with family members etc...just exchanging pleasantries no in-depth chat.
We both married and bought up our families.
But my other dear Best School Friend Rosy and I have kept in touch and spent many wonderful times together as our Husbands worked together and Rosy got Mary to email me just a few short months ago
As if we have never been apart we have rekindled our friendship through long emails, photos and now as you see very cute gifts.
​Thank You Rosy XX

And this flag bunting for our 'Bird' themed bedroom in all of it's glory was the item I found inside the package
Picture
So beautifully crafted with so much care and love and talent ...
Picture
Mary is a very talented card maker ...she designs and crafts beautiful creations out of paper and card.
Picture
Using all sorts of embellishments ...Mary captured everything that I love and put them on the bunting flags.
Goodness ..I love everything about it.

Picture
Every detail and item made with so much attention and love ...it makes me scream with delight.
Picture
Of course my insatiable appetite for teapots and teacups is quenched in Mary's beautiful design.
Picture
I am blown away and humbled that someone would make such a gift for me putting so much of themselves and their precious time in to it.
​  Thanks Mary XX

Forever is a very long time.
How is it that people can talk so casually about a concept that we cannot even wrap our minds around?
Sometimes we have a friend and we sense that our souls are very closely connected.
We know that the connection is above time and space.
We know that wherever we are in our lives we will always remain friends.
Even if we do not see each other for years we are able to pick up right where we left off.
This is what people mean when they say friends forever.


Picture
I think that Mary is a keeper don't you ??
When you find a friend keep them close.
For finding a really true friend is not that easy 
Thanks for popping by 
And letting me share this lovely gift and story of friendship with you
Happy Days
Happy Friendships 

Janet
