A timeless gift
My dear pen-pal and blogging buddy, Heidi , gifted me with one of the most precious gifts I think I have ever received, a gorgeous tea cup and saucer!!! First off, who doesn't love getting packages in the mail? It's so exciting! Seeing that someone went out of their way to actually mail you something makes you feel super special! I had had a pretty challenging week (click here to read more about it) leading up to my birthday so getting this in the mail felt like a sweet and cooling balm after a painful sting. Here are some pictures I took... Ta-da! I took "her" outside for a few pictures (thank you, Abigail, for letting me use your camera!)... Just look at that lovely pattern! And it pairs beautifully with a handmade potholder that my aunt bought from an Amish store that she gave to me for Christmas. The elegant design of the handle, the gold-rimmed edges - it's simply beautiful! And it's blue! My favorite color of all time!
