Abby (Little Birdie Blessings) has done it again. Yesterday, a beautiful package arrived so delightfully presented that I nearly didn't want to open it.
Look at that beautiful crocheted rickrack trim in yellow! Oh and that sweet bird sticker!
This sweet card was created by Abby's friend Darlene.
Inside were this book and vintage bookmark.
The book fell open to this page and it was soooo good that I thought I'd share.
Last week, Abby sent the Isaiah verse bookmark and a birthday card. Thought I'd tuck them in, too. I'm sensing a theme here! (See the blue satin edging? I just found that inside the envelope this morning. Bonus!)
A closer look at the bookmarks...
Abby, thank you for all the times you have blessed me. If I were ever to doubt the love of God, I could just remember them and know that He has given me such a friend as you.
And, dear friend, thank you for reading here today: so many blogs; so little time.
A beautiful spring weekend to you!
P.S. All photos were taken using the iPad camera for its handy little "square" option. I am still practicing Lynda's methods and hope to improve. See yesterday's post if this makes no sense. ☺
That is pretty. Thanks for sharing the inspiration. Lovely sunset or sunrise photo too. ~:)
ReplyDeleteNow how nice was that? Soo sweet. You are indeed blessed. Enjoy your week-end Vee!
ReplyDeleteOh my. Wonderful gifts, really great photography, and a fabulous new header. Love it all. xo
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your gift with us Vee. I've been very 'down' the past few days, winter weary, and I really needed to read these words in the book you received and the scripture. Oh my. God's perfect timing for you and for me. Abby is a sweet friend to gift you these things and I appreciate you sharing with us. Have a wonderful day. Hugs. Pam
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely!!! Blessings to you Vee..
ReplyDeleteOh Vee, you bring tears to my eyes. Your photos always portray things in such a beautiful way. I'm glad you are pleased with the things I sent. We're told in Proverbs 11:25, whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. Your lovely post is a much needed refreshment for me today. Thank you dear one. ~ Abby
ReplyDeleteLovely gifts. You are a lucky girl, Vee. I do love Mail Call! :o)
ReplyDeleteSuch thoughtful gifts from a thoughtful friend. What a place the world if everyone had such a friend, or better yet, if everyone were such a friend...
ReplyDeleteI visited Lynda's blog yesterday, and what a delight I found her to be. I read her entire archives, and I'll be praying for her and her husband's health, and learning from her example. I have a long way to go to learn to take a good picture, never mind editing effectively. Thanks for the introduction.
How sweet...
ReplyDeleteGod's timing is always perfect! I read page 73, and was so blessed, your gifts are indeed sent with much love, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeletesuch beautiful and thoughtful gifts, beautiful photos too! Have the best weekend
ReplyDeleteYou are truly blessed with some great blogger friends. Some beautiful items there. I love the spirit of her gifts the spiritual sharing she does with them. Enjoyed yesterday's post about your editing techniques. I am also trying to root some geraniums and have a sweet potato vine started.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful gift from your friend, Vee! Lovely. Thanks so much for letting us enjoy a wee bit of it. Lovely thought about 'rest' by Roy Lessen.
ReplyDeleteHappy Day...
Very good encouragement sent your way. Loved reading the page you opened. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift ~
ReplyDeleteand your right good friends are such a lovely blessing.
Happy Weekend to you Vee.
Hi Vee!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful gift - tender mercies everyday!
Hugs,
Barb
Such a sweet, thoughtful gift! I love the last sentence on the page you shared, "that He has not ordered" really stood out for me. Thanks for sharing this with us.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to read yesterday's post which I think I missed. As you said, so little time...
Enjoy your weekend.
The presentation was just as sweet as the message. How fun to received such a lovely and thoughtful gift. The music and birdie...puts a song in my heart.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely gifts and wrapping too.
ReplyDeleteIt's comforting to know that blogging friends can sense when we need a little something and send a special card or package our way.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy reading your book, and keeping your place with the bookmark.
Awwww... that is so sweet. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love all the little bits of happiness that you received. : )
ReplyDeleteahhh...how nice this lovely gift is. It takes a good friend to HAVE a good friend.....:)
ReplyDeleteIt's the time of year for you, that an unexpected gift in the post must gladden your heart dear Vee.
ReplyDeleteHow kind of Abby, she knows how to put a smile on your face, we all need a friend who knows when we need a little encouragement!
Beautiful treasures, I've made a note of the book - a perfect title for me at the moment as I wearily climb into bed at the end of the day and wonder why I'm doing this!
The sunshine colour of the ricrac and those gorgeous birdies are reminders that your Spring is on it's way and your life can get back to some sort of normality!
There will be green grass for the grandies to play on, birds singing their songs from the tree tops and smells of meat on the BBQ wafting in the air - just be patient a little longer!
Hugs for a Blessed Sunday

What a thoughtful gift! I agree with what the author wrote on the page you shared! This is so important!
ReplyDeleteI love your photos. I think my iPhone has that square option. I should try it out!

That is so lovely, and such a blessing, Vee. Thank you for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteSweet gifts and cards from Abby...and sweet words about friendship and God's love from you! This kind of sweetness warms the heart! Blessings to you both!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful gift from Abby. God has truly blessed us with loving, caring Christian sisters through blogging. I'm thankful to know you. Have a blessed Sunday.
ReplyDeleteVee-What a perfectly wonderful gift. How sweet of Abby to send that to you! And, as blessed as you are by that-you, too, are a blessing to all of us! I am delighted to have the gift of friendship and welcome I find here on your blog- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteAw Vee - what a thoughtful gift to receive. So wonderful to know that we can rest in the Lord and be content in that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and encouraging gift to receive in the mail! Blogging friends are such a blessing!
ReplyDeleteand by the way, I love that sunrise in the woods photo (or is it sunset in the woods?) AND also to let you know that the pain of losing your other header has finally subsided and I have transferred that loyalty to your new lovely, springy header. :-) It IS gorgeous!
ReplyDelete...just stopping in this pretty Sunday morning to say HI....:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift and I love the page that you shared from the book. Is it your birthday? If so, I hope it's a great one Vee! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of her to send you such thoughtful gifts!
ReplyDeleteI hope the snow melts soon!
Such delightful gifts for your birthday, Vee, from this blogger friend! I wish I could remember everyone's special days like this but I even have difficulty remembering my own extended family's birthdays lately...lol! The world is spinning to fast for me and that "REST" passage was a perfect message! I also enjoyed your Sunday message.
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring!
Oh Vee, what a treasure your blog is. I am so truly sorry I have been so MIA - dealing with some health issues with a loved one, and one thing leads to another.....the fun stuff gets put back a notch or three.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thank you for your blog and your wisdom and your kindness and all things wonderful. Apparently I missed your birthday. I am so sorry. May you be blessed with laughter, love, good health and peace throughout this coming year. Happy Springtime, my sweet and dear friend. xxoo
Yeah! I'm finally able to comment :) I couldn't for a while now. So, I'm back playing catch up! Kindness shared is the best gift!
