The other day I was bursting with excitment after fetching my mail at the post office. Olivia had sent me a birthday package from France!Inside my package was a gorgeous hand embroidered towel Olivia made herself with my name spelled out so pretty and the butterflies created very dainty. It's too beautiful to ever use, so I'll just display this lovely piece of artwork for all to admire instead.
Next were some very nice scenic post cards of South France displaying some of my favorite blooms, sunflowers and lavender. I can only imagine the sweet scent of lavender in the air, while taking a morning stroll in the French countryside.
Olivia also Sent me a book called "Nimes." There are many great architectural pictures in this book , including the history of Nimes.Since it's cold and dreary here tonight, I plan on curling up by the fireplace and reading my new book from Olivia, wishing that I too was there enjoying the sights and wonder of South France.
Thank you so much Olivia for the very beautiful birthday gift!!!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!
awww, how cute and caring. Love the butterflies. See in the natural world, butterflies have the best natural color combinations (in their wings) and as a designer I see that very clearly :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Lydia!!! Very lovely gifts. Have a wonderful day today!
ReplyDeleteHello Nabeel,
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love all the different designs and colors in butterflies! I love painting them, because of all the vibrant colors I get to use.
You are a designer? How interesting and great! My daughter is very interesting in designing. I told her she can attend college for it when she gets older.
Wishing you a very nice weekend!

ReplyDeleteThe gift arrived at the perfect time. Thank you again. It's just beautiful!
I enjoyed reading Nimes last night and studying all the pictures of the ancient structures. It's just amazing that these buildings are still standing after all of these years!
