Surprise and delight...

I unexpectedly got a package in the mail the other day from a close friend. It was a BEAUTIFUL blown glass vase (she knows I collect art glass). Wow. I must say that the picture does not do it justice.

I immediately had to head out into my yard to find something to put in it... Not much is blooming in my yard right now but the lime green hydrangeas look really beautiful against the azure blue vase.

I miss her. I really miss when we used to live so close to each other that we would go to the farmer's market every Saturday. I didn't even get to see her this summer because our schedules never overlapped.

I'm so glad you like it!!!!! I was so tempted to get one for myself, too, but, well... What are the odds it would have it made it to Moscow in one piece? And then... well, we do have those two kittens--make that, full-grown cats--who jump up everywhere... :-)

Now that you've received it, I can finish a blog post about the glass studio where we got it. Cool stuff.

You haven't mentioned your dog. I'd love to see a picture as he is so cuddly cute.

Your "close friend" is one of the nicest people I have ever "met"! "Kind" doesn't begin to describe her.

Annie, I couldn't agree more!
