Blogging is a special sort of giving and sharing of yourself to one another. I admired her photo's and said the next best thing would be to have a book of her work..and Mary at LITTLE RED HOUSE sent me this lovely book of flowers and it touched my heart!! It was her way of communicating her feelings and appreciation. I love her for that. My camera is not the best and does not do the pictures of the roses in her book justice at all. Her book is of the most beautiful flowers and that glare is NOT in the real photo.
And with her book...a card...
And the card said it all...
And this book will rest on my coffee table in the years to come and inside will be Mary's sweet card.... and a note by me so my family will know who "Mary of Little Red House" was in my life and how we added to each others lives.
The sweetest and the best of friends are met through this wonderful world of blogging...
Thank you, Mary of Little Red House!
Smiles and love..
Mona

I, too, have met the sweetest girls through blogging. I enjoy their "company" so very much. Beautiful book, and an even more beautiful friendship. Nice! Hugs, Kathleen
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable thing for her to do! And your camera does quite well I think.... I want a new pocket camera and my step-daughter and her hubby got the Canon 880SD... It's awesome and even takes fantastic video. Check it out, Mona if and when you decide to buy a newer model.
