I guess it's a custom followed with all of their guests.
My paternal grandmother used to have African violets and, as recalled, they were kind of persnickety to grow.
Well, I'll be darned, that little Vermont-grown African violet is still perking.
It livens up the sill of a small window in the kitchen.
(Some of the flowers are real and a few sprigs are faux, found at a yard sale.)
Nearby are icons of Blessed Mary and a little turkey, made in Poland, is there, too.
Variety is the spice of life, right?
DO YOU DISPLAY WINDOWSILL ART?

That's a nice departing gift for guests. Love all your little decorations. I've got avocado seeds lined up in my windowsill. :)
what a lovely gift for sure. all your knicknacs are precious too.
I used to have African Violets..none of them lived. I do NOT have a green thumb at all. Just have suncatchers for decorations on my windows in the kitchen ...a lovely harp from Ireland is one and two from Solvang..a little dutch gal and boy and a Treble clef. That's the extent of my décor..ha.
Your African violet is still going strong, Susan. And the picture of Mary and Jesus is beautiful. Love that turkey from Poland too. The way my kitchen is set up I don't have a windowsill, although I do have a BIG sliding door in my dining area and I can see the world passing by.

*come by and see the baby when you get a chance. : )
My aunt and my MIL could grow those - but boy they are sure hard to grow - I remember them telling me that - yours was so beautiful!
Thank you, Susan, for your very special comment about the baby. It brought a tear to my eye. We're so thankful for this little one. : )
love, ~Sheri
