Gifted Gorgeousness ~ MAY

 
 
 
 
It's mid may? 
 
Can you believe it...  time for this months Gifted Gorgeousness post.
 

 
The chart for this pretty heart was the Winter challenge over at Needlecraft Haven.
 
I stitched mine, finished it with the pink heart lace surround and it went off in the post last week to Clare at Aimetu's Stitching to brighten her day as she faces the challenges illness and accidents bring.

 
 
I thought I would share these couple of gifts that I had this past week too.
 
A neighbour and I have been friends for over 25 years and one year for her birthday I bought her a rose bush entitled 'Friend'.  Every year since, she has always given my the very first bud that appears, it's become a tradition. 
 
 This year, even though we are not seeing each other at the moment she delivered the bud and left it on the doorstep for me so I could still have the first of the season.   The scent of it is so delightful. 
 
 
 
 
DD had a bunch of spring flowers delivered to us by post. 
That was a surprise!
 
 
 
It's the smallest of things that brighten our days at the moment isn't it?

    Oh, isn't that such a wonderful tradition shared between you and your neighbour/friend. I'm glad this lockdown hasn't managed to scupper it for you.

    Lovely gift you stitched for your friend & your stitching is so neat. Glad your neighbour could at least leave the first bud & it is a lovely colour. Take care, stay safe & hugs from down under.

    I so enjoyed my visit today. Your pink heart is delightful. I love roses, so the flower pic was a bonus for me. I almost convinced myself I could smell the fragrance.
