My bestie sent me presents she moved to the states from Brazil (via her limited luggage) and then an extra one she bought on her last trip there.
These are tall & fragile but so, so pretty! And in pink… of course. I have them on my nightstand but here in the living room for the natural light for photos.
She has a large collection of these handmade flowers and got to know the artist at a local fair they’d visit often. I already had a small pot with a purple single flower that lives by my kitchen sink.
Have you ever had real leather from South America? It is nothing like real leather from the US… it is soft and beautiful and smells divine!! (And my sandals from Brazil a few years ago fit so perfectly and cup/mold to my feet…. real leather!)
A new wallet! In pink… of course. 🙂
My cards fit in the pockets so they are just the right size!!
And when I opened the wallet, every pocket, holder, pouch had a note. A huge treasure and will be kept! She is a lovely writer.
So thankful for the friendship and the beautiful reminders of her throughout my home & day!
and sew on... 
Awwww–what lovely gifts! And extra-special with love notes inside. 🙂
You are right! The notes are extra-special. 🙂
How wonderful! Beautiful gifts! The flowers look so fragile, but evidently strong to travel and not be smashed. They practically smell.
Yes, I agree — they do look fragile. I was so happy they arrived here safely!
I love seeing the flower safely there 🙂 Also love the new header photos on the top of the blog 🙂 So glad you enjoy the gifts, my friend!
I’m glad you noticed the new header, too. Thanks! …. well, so very much! Send me header suggestions or ideas if I should fix something.
Oh these are lovely – and the notes make such great place holders in the wallet.
Yes, the notes are so touching. She is good at that! 🙂
