A Lovely Gift!

Today is a very special day!

I received a mysterious little package in the mail from Japan. 

It was from my blog friend coco. 

I loved everything about it. They way it was tied with string, decorated with sweet dried pansies, & notes written on tiny slips of pink Japanese paper. 

Coco had sent me two lovely crocheted coasters & seeds from her garden.

I was very touched by her note which read in part: 

"I have been enjoying your beautiful world in your blog. Thanks for sharing such nice scenes with us....."

This lovely little gift meant a lot to me, especially today, as it is in fact my blog birthday. I have been posting his blog for two years today!

And just as I was about to write about this occasion & this gift, I received another surprise. I had a comment from Paulita, from "An Accidental Blog" & she had nominated me for an award. How sweet of her!

Thank you so much coco & Paulita. This has been a very special & serendipitous way to celebrate my blog birthday!

Thanks, too, to all of you, for sharing your blogs & visiting mine. Your kind words & comments mean the world to me.
