Gift from a Friend...



A friend's visit is always a gift.

 A very dear friend, (I call her Christina),  paid me a surprise new year's visit.

 Just seeing her was gift enough but she also brought an extra present!

 It's a darling plant called a Campanula.


 It is covered with small white flowers that look like miniature roses or carnations.

I even love the gold tone "pot" that it's in.

She also brought a helium-filled Happy New Year balloon that is still bopping around the kitchen.


What a spirit-lifter a dear friend is----a treasure that fills the heart with gratitude and love.

WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST IN A FRIEND?

    I love having a friend who listens to each and every thing I say and is so supportive. She is full of compassion and writes me notes that I get in the mail all the time even though she lives close by. What a dear friend she is and I'm so grateful for her.

    Oh how nice of her! What I love the most is a friend who keeps in touch. Either by snail mail or email, or lunch out. Enjoy your plant. Kit

    Friends who are spirit lifters, are a blessing, for sure. You are so fortunate to have one. The flowers are lovely too.

    I love the Campanula and boy did she know you or what - and your love for flowers - that is one sign of a good friend. Someone who is there for you. Someone you can be truthful with. Someone that won't share your secrets. Caring. Loyal. Faithful. Supportive. ♥sandie

    What a thoughtful gift. I had one of these a few years ago, placed it outdoors in summer. Pretty little plant.

    I'd have to say loyalty, honesty, and sincerity.

    Your white flowers and gold pot are very nice, Susan.

    Blessings to you in these January days.

    love, ~Sheri
