Beautiful Gifts from Beautiful Friends

My dear & amazing friend Venita was visiting her daughter this past winter in Florida.  Her daughter has a ceramic kiln, so Venita being a button collector like me,

made her own ceramic buttons.

(Venita)

Here are the buttons she created and shared with me

   I totally adore & cherish them!

My other wonderful gift I received from Sarah at

My So Called Junky Life 

Sarah offered a bracelet give away  

Sterling silver, fresh water pearls and a gorgeous

vintage mother of pearl heart.

Isn't it just gorgeous?  

I am one blessed friend to have friends share these

beautiful gifts  with me.  

Thank you Venita & Sarah!

Things I Love Fridays is Under Repair & Robin Nest Update

Things I Love Friday:  You may have noticed  My So Called Junky Life's linky party to Things I Love Fridays is not linking correctly.  Sarah is aware of this and is working to resolve it.





Robin's Nest Update:  A couple of weeks ago I shared this photo from my kitchen window of a robing nesting on our sun porch

 Sadly the mother stopped nesting a couple days ago and our overnight temperatures have been too cool for the eggs to survive.  With hope for next Spring and their song.

I love my buckles and buttons!
