{FRIENDS}

The postman did bring a parcel from Celestina Marie Design with her great artwork; LOOK...
Friends
Celestina Marie is also the White House's Blue Room Artist - click Miss C~Goes To Washington!.
I am taking the risk that the dear friend I bought this for, will see it but so what? I had to show it to my readers right away!
Gifts purchased from her Gift Shop are a joy to receive; always wrapped so neatly. She creates Christmas in July!
An organdy pouch with fresh lavender she added on the outside and the inside even held a special tea bag that I enjoyed this very afternoon as a much needed pick-me-up...
Thanks a million Celestina Marie and I can only highly recommend this artist!
