the other day a wonderful little gift arrived in my mailbox
my friend lauree had made her version of a fabric pocket especially for me
she used some silk she had dyed herself, which veils a handmade oval doiley stitched by her late mother 
as well as the lovely little book about friendship, inside the pocket i found a packet of seeds and some special little notes
between the pages of the book i discovered more treasures – some pressed flowers from lauree’s garden
thank you so much, lauree – you are a true friend!
Rita – that is one stunning gift to receive. Thanks for sharing this on your blog w/ all of us. I love how your friend incorporated the silk, lace and even dyed it herself! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas holiday and New Year’s!

I love doing this for my friends. Making things for people you love is so important. It doesnt have to be expensive, its just the fact that someone loves you enough to take the time to think about you.
