There is a special summer birthday coming up very soon,
and I put together a few goodies for the
across-the-miles surprise gift........
For a loved one who has a beautiful green thumb......
lavender seeds to grow something scented and lovely....
What a lovely keepsake box.....
it holds a lovely floral mug all in shades of purples
and lavenders.....
how lovely it is on a stressful afternoon at work,
to stop for a sip of lavender tea.......
In the evenings, she can relax and
enjoy a good tea shop mystery novel......
I love how the lavender theme came together.....
and, one must have delicious little biscuits
to serve with the lavender tea....
It's about relaxation and pampering yourself sometimes....
Happy Birthday dear sister.....
That is a wonderful, thoughtful gift. She will be delighted, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI hope so...she enjoys all of these things and she is the dearest big sister in all the world...have a love week Miss Dishywoo!
DeleteBetsy, That is a special gift. You put so much thought and love into it. Happy birthday to your sister. Love the colors.

Blessings, xoxo, Susie

ReplyDeleteHi dear Diana...thank you for stopping by today and leaving such sweet comments..sending love and hugs!
DeleteShe’s going to love her gift! I sometimes enjoy giving a five senses gift, but this idea is wonderful, too. Hope I remember it for an upcoming birthday.
ReplyDeleteThank you Vee....a five senses gift sounds perfect to me...hope you are having a good summer!
DeleteBetsy I love how you make things come together so perfectly. I have no decorating sense and I copy some of your ideas. I hope you don't mind. Where did you find the lavender cup,spoon and saucer? My daughter loves lavender and her birthday is next month and I would love to surprise her with it. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl....well thank you for such sweet comments and I don't mind at all...that's what it's all about..sharing and inspiring each other! I found the mug and the book on Amazon! I am sure you can probably find it still and hope she enjoys her special day!
