We have a tradition, to spend our birthdays together for lunch, a great visit talking with lots of laughter, and sometimes even do a little shopping. Well today is her day, so we are heading off to lunch and spend a wonderful afternoon. I have hand painted her a special platter in her favorite home decor colors, to use for a candle display that I have included with her gift or she can serve holiday treats on it. This wonderful platter is a Terra cotta plate that she actually found for me to redesign and sell. I added a soft background to highlight holly, pine needles, berries and pinecones. She will be surprised when she sees I painted it for her. See the pictures below. Ann is such a special friend and through the years she has found me so many special pieces that I have redesigned and offered in my eBay store La Rea Rose. I want to honor her today and let her know how much she means to me and how much I value our friendship. SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANN~and may you be continually blessed with good health, happiness and much love.
