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.

  1. Well, I just don't have the right friends, I guess. LOL They are always coming over to MY home to borrow or steal my stuff. I need new friends! (just kidding):-) You know I love these gifts...I can't wait to see what you do with them and know it will be lovely. Also, its so good to see you blogging again. After the holidays we can chat so you can ask me some of those techie questions. Luv ya, Barb

  2. Wow! What a nice friend! I'm sure she loves the fact that her pretties are going to a new home where they will be appreciated! You'll have to repost when you decide where to put them. Happy New Year!...Debbie
