I’ve recently been gifted with two amazing pieces of art, both from friends I’ve met through this blog. As someone who struggles with relationships and the weird complexity of human interaction, making connections like this is something out of Harry Potter. Magic. With lots of sparkles.
I sent them both a picture of their gifts mounted on my Wall of Romance. I can lay on my bed and be comforted by my Pre-Raphaelite prints and the blossoms Robert and Carol gave me.
Here’s a better shot of Rob’s work. And of Carol’s. Beautiful, aren’t they?
This day is starting off quite hard for me, so I’m trying to focus on my gratitude, my bounty, and my friends. The rest will take care of itself.

Your wall is beautiful, Sandy. How sweet of your friends. Be sure and include in your gratitudes your own artistic abilities and sense of HUMOR! I love you.

I love you, too, my friend.

Ah, I have to agree. “Blogmates” are the best. And Rob’s and Carol’s work is stunning. I have had the pleasure to meet seven folks who read my blog, and all are dear friends now. Have a wonderful weekend, Sandy.
Hugs from Ecuador,

It was because of your example that I got to meet Lori at Day By Day the Farm Girl Way. She’s a dear friend now. http://littlesundog.wordpress.com

What a lovely idea – a wall of romance. And what great friends you have.

You’re part of that crowd, you know. I use that sweet purple bag you sent me to hold my pens, and Post-its, and writerly hoo-haw when I go to the cafe to write. Makes me warm and purple-fuzzy every time I pet it.
