Gift From a Friend






Ooooh, don't you just love getting a package in the mail? My dear friend, BJ, from Sweet Nothings, has sent me a gift box filled with wonderful things. She knows I have a soft spot for chickens and roosters, and this little white one will look so sweet on my kitchen table. She even filled it with candy for me!









Look at these beautiful soup spoons. I also collect quite a bit of old silverplated cutlery. I love the look and feel of old things in my hands. These will be gorgeous on my table, BJ!











And finally, this wonderful Holy Spirit ornament -- a reminder of the blessings I receive daily, including the generosity of such a beautiful friend.


I love all my gifts, BJ. Thank you so much!

BJ is undergoing surgery this morning. If you get the chance, please drop by and leave her a get-well wish.
