A Gratefful Friend

That is me. Recently a neighbor and friend of mine and her family decided to pack up their home here in North Carolina and move back to their former home in Florida. She packed up a lovely home here and is venturing into a completely different style down in her Florida home. Much to my surprise when I went to say my "see you soon's and laters" (never good byes) she bestowed upon me two lovely topiaries and two lovely antique botanical fruit prints. I love both and can't wait to find the perfect place in my home for them. I already am pretty sure the dining room will be home to the prints. I am going to try out the fireplace mantel once all the Christmas decor is down for the topiaries (keeping my fingers crossed as they are quite large). What a pleasant surprise this was and a real treat. I will miss her giving and kind heart on a daily basis but know she is never more than a phone call away.
