"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

the ♥ of a friend~

"Everyone is gifted
      but some people
 never open their package”
unknown


jan. 17

so far backwards
trying one step at a time to get back on track

many wonderful bits and pieces have come my way
due to the holidays not feeling well
and no more photo storage space
i am quite behind on sharing
such beautiful artist with you


remember
 jewelry challege i took part in


well this here little lady
bestowed a beautiful package upon me


inside ever so delicate gorgeous pieces


sigh...i simply l♥ve this wee little nest


♥s to signify that l♥ve is always around us


divine vintage ribbon


and lace


romantically sweet strand of pearls


brass bits...
i am starting to wonder if she is silently saying
try try again


if anything
i feel i should have been the one
sending forth a gift to thee
for creating a challenge that had me
 attempt to try to create a piece
that probably would never have come to be
if it hadn't been for my dear friend

i
each and every piece
and
thank you greatly for such a precious package
 you sent my way


“Remember,

 the greatest gift

 is not found in a store nor under a tree,

 but in the hearts of true friends.”

Such a happy surprise...I am always amazed and pleased in witnessing the gratitude of one person towards another, or for the blessings of life and how this connection that is not at all directly related to me STILL opens up my heart wider...Mudita? Thank you for your kind words over at my blog this morning.

bright blessings

Wendy said...

for some reason, I thought of this quote for you in this post and seeing the lovely treasure you received:

In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.
Albert Camus


That seems to be a theme for me lately too. I'm so glad that Diane send something to make you sigh with hope, beauty and renewal.
Blessings and hugs to you.

I do so love to look at pretty things - and how wonderful for you to receive such treasures in the post! I love the romantic sheen you created on the photographs - it adds that little extra bit of magic.

That quote you opened with is pretty special too, and oh so true. We certainly owe it to ourselves to find and cherish our gifts. Good call.
