Gifts from a Dear Friend!

 
 
When I opened my front door the other day, much to my surprise,  there on the porch was a box addressed to ME!!  OH MY GOODNESS!!!   I quickly opened the box marked "fragile", and wrapped so prettily were these wonderful goodies.  My dear friend knows that I love "Irish" things, but how did she know that my birth month color is purple??!! 

The hankies are sooo pretty. One is adorned with violets and the other with shamrocks and Irish symbols.  The lace doily (be still my beating heart!!) is "Real Carrickmacross Lace" and is just exquisite!  The darling little china basket is painted with gorgeous purple pansies and the darling vase, from County Cork Ireland, has shamrocks painted on the front and back and actually has hand painted trim in 24 KT. gold!!  Can you see why I am so enthralled??!!  What thoughtful gifts were bestowed upon me.  I even have a Yankee  magazine  to keep me company with thoughts of my "Yankee" friend.

I LOVE all my wonderful gifts and will cherish each and every one.  Of course, I will be doing a post and including some of these treasures soon. 

Thank you, dear friend, for the lovely surprise!!  Blessings to you and yours!

 xoxo,
