She works at the bilingual school where I taught for several years. And even though I've now been gone for 4 years, she still sends me a gift and card every time my birthday rolls around.
Her birthday was last week so I put together these gifts and delivered them this morning. I even managed to do a little cross-stitching. My first since sometime in December.
I stopped off at the flower shop on the way to get her some pink roses.
Most people here go for extravagant, and what I consider gawdy, bouquets. When I go in with my little vase or recycled glass jar and ask for it to be filled with flowers, the guy behind the counter thinks I'm nuts. Ha!
I hope your day is filled with pretty things, simple pleasures and sweet friends. Peace & blessings, Tammy

Hi Tammy,
Its so nice to have a friend who remembers you,her gift was so pretty.
What a lovely gift you gave her too. |I think your flowers are just right!
Hope you are surviving that heat.
Keep cool,
Angela.
If I was going to put you into a category, Tammy, I think it would be gift giving. You create the most beautiful gifts out of your made things and little tidbits. Take care, blessings, Diane
Ya know, I never did get to see what you gave her....adorable and thoughtful as always. What a great idea to go to the flower shop and fill your own vase. I love how you always have your gift baskets color and themed coordinated.
Good to see you today as always and hope you didn't suffer too much out in the sun:) Hope the rest of your day went well and that your little friends weren't waiting for you to get home:)
HI Tammy,
Your friend would have been thrilled with the birthday gift, how lovely.
The cross stitch is pretty with the rose and I love the idea of you taking your own container to put it in.
Happy weekend
Hugs

As a retired florist of many years I always thought a dozeh roses was a waste... I thought to recieve a rose more often and no reason would be much more effective... It makes it sweet.
Hi, Tammy,
I know Theresa loved her rosy gifts!! I am with you on the bouquets. I have always preferred a small cottage style arrangement rather than a big bouquet. I hope your weekend has been a good one. Thank you for your faithful visits and kind comments. Lots of love being sent your way~ Vicki

i love your cross stitch....and you are such a thoughtful person!
have a great night!

You certainly know how to brighten days ... what a lovely array of gifts. I just know that they are treasured. Have a good weekend. Hope you're keeping cool.
Your sweet gifts are lovely and so so thoughtful, Tammy. Love your color palette!
Hope your SUNday is filled JOY and loveliness, my friend. xx
Hi Tammy,
your gifts are beautiful and so thoughtful.
Have a wonderful Sunday.
Hugs,
Marie
Your gifts are lovely. I love the simple flowers in the recycled container. Have a wonderful week.
How very wonderful of you to remember Theresa. I am sure you made her day by stopping by. What was it like being back at GBS?? That would be enough to make me go running for the nearest door.
I love knowing that you have enough free time during your days now to take care of people who you don't always get to see anymore. Good for you!!
Love,
Renee
