Another Visit with a Friend

Yesterday I spent several hours with my friend, Kathy.

She has a beautiful home, is very creative, and as you can see, has a gorgeous Christmas tree.

Glass ornaments on display, made by a friend.

Kathy has a great eye for finding unique items at Friday Market. I got this jacket that she picked up.

And she gave me this cross from New Mexico that is made from cholla and turquoise with rafia for hanging.

Happy day to one and all! Friendship blessings, Tammy

  7. Hi Tammy! Love that cholla cross...very unique. I lived in Arizona 12 years but never thought to make anything out of choola cactus.

    So happy you are connecting with friends at this special time of year.

    Thanks for sharing your photos with us. Susan

  18. What a nice post. I have heard you comment so many times about Kathy's house. It was nice to see it in pictures. Her tree is lovely, and I can tell from the furniture in the background that she has some very lovely things. The jacket is beautiful. I have little doubt that it will look great on you!!

    Got to love a good day with a friend!!

    Love,
    Renee
