Friendship and Succulents

Today I find myself really missing my beautiful friend who made me this beautiful basket of succulents.

 

We've both been going through some hard times lately and I miss how our laughter would fill the room. It always cheered me up.

Even though we didn't get to see each other often as we'd have liked when I lived in Seattle (chronic illness can be a bisnitch) just knowing she was a drive away was comforting.

Now that I live across the continent from her I'm feeling the withdrawal. So I'm watering my birthday succulent and smiling while sending her a shout out. Lady, I miss you! Darn these stupid time zones and miles... I'm sending you love, laughter, and smiles on the internets instead.

 

Kisses,

K

 

P.S.

When are you starting your blog so I can keep up with your fabulousness more easily? You can't hide your kind of light under bushel, you've got to share that sh**!

Things I Love

My good friend and I completely missed each other during the Holidays due to traveling. So when we met up the other day (when she taught me how to knit) she sweetly brought a present along.

She gave me the sweetest arctic fox porcelain ornament and this set of arctic push pins that I'm in love with!

I had my eye on them for a while but they're one of those cute luxuries you don't usually buy for yourselves.

I am smitten.

And how gorgeous is her holiday card!?! The photo is from her summer wedding in Charleston this past year. Isn't she a gorgeously glowing bride?

I love that my New Year is both starting off and continuing with the with the sort of fun, love, and joy that the Holidays bring! I hope yours is too!

Kisses,

K

Friendship; Knitted

My sweet friend came over to hang out last. Even though we hadn't seen each other in a while we spent the evening listening to fun music, chatting, laughing, and knitting (it was my first time). It was perfect.

(My creation thus far all scrunched up on the knitting needles.)

(The cute strawberries on the tips.)

I've always wanted to learn how to knit. We'd talked about it previously, so she brought over a basket of wool and needles and patiently taught me how to do it. She even lent me her adorable strawberry tipped needles she learned to knit on!

So grateful for sweet friends and new skills.

Kisses,

K
