I'm grateful for such lovely friends...

Last year when I broke my arm,
my dear friend Patty of
sent me a wonderful
'cheer-up' package.

Just let me say here,
that I thought I had posted
this last year....
until I found it in my "drafts"
- I'm so very embarrassed.....
(At the time I thanked Patty by email)


The beautiful wrapping
foretold of what was to come....
I didn't want to disturb it
(well for a minute or two)!!!


An exquisite collage
is what Patty made for me.
Every detail is what I love,
so feminine
with old and delicate lace
and pretty fabric.
A

It cheered me up no end,
and I carried it with me
to show everyone
the beautiful artwork
my friend made for me!!!


such a sweet image


Included in the parcel was
a precious piece of lace
from her Mutti's curtain -
this is very special
as I know what memories
it holds for Patty...


"ART helps me Breathe"
is a catch phrase of Patty's
and I will talways treasure this
sweet piece of
broderie anglaise.


Thank you dear Patty
for such a wonderful gift
and your lovely message
on the back.
Please accept my apology
for neglecting to publish this post
at the time - I'm obviously
nearer to my dotage
than I previously thought!!!

WELCOME
to my 4 new followers,
I would love you all to
visit their blogs if you
don't already know them!
Kinzeey - no blog details sorry,




Thank you dear friends for visiting
and especially those of you
who leave me a comment - love you!!
Be kind to one another
hugs

Shane

  5. A well said thank you is never too late! What lovely gifts she sent to cheer you up. I know you are thankful that the broken arm is in the past. We really never realize how much we depend on ALL the parts of our bodies until one is out of use.

    Well, let's phrase it like this: The big THANK YOU PATTY goes a loooooong way! It is pretty in reality and pretty in memory. Good thing that you took a photo from the outstanding wrapping; a gift in itself!
