Last year when I broke my arm,
my dear friend Patty of
"Magpie's Nest" fame
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

Hello Dear Shane
ReplyDeleteSuch a very beautiful gift from Patty and some very special lace which means so much to you.
I just had to visit Patty and was so impressed with her Stone Angels - just supremely beautiful.
How soon will you be leaving for France dear friend?

Patty sends the best stuff, her packaging is always such a joy! What a beauitful piece of work, so pretty!Mx
ReplyDeleteA 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.
