We bought a few treats and I even (you might want to sit down)....bought my first Christmas present! Wow, for me that is a big deal. While we were at Sweet Briar Boutique she told us they just ordered a big pile of fall/winter dresses. They're going to email me when the shipment arrives. Yay.
Today was an unhappy anniversary for us but we always spend the day together and always exchange some form of a butterfly which has special meaning for us. It honors her brother. I had a butterfly pendant for Terri and she gave me this gorgeous brooch.
Now, I think I need a new coat to properly display it on the lapel. Don't you think? And coincidentally a new catalog arrived this week with a darling wool camel coat. Wink, wink.
Next time I'll remember to take pictures.
Wow, love the new broach.
ReplyDeleteKeep on enjoying your vacation. I'm glad that you were with your friend on this bitter sweet anniversary.
Hugs,

What a lovely brooch! Yes! A new coat is definitely in order to provide the appropriate background.:-)
ReplyDeleteHope you get that problem with your telephone provider solved! What a hassle!
That is a lovely brooch. I can see it on a camel coat. My favorite kind of coat by the way.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you had such a nice day. It sounds fantastic.
The fact that you were having too much fun to worry about pictures is fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tradition and the memories you shared. Heaven :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, that picture thing can sometimes slip my mind, too! Sounds like a nice visit!
