As I walked to the mail box, little did I know I would be met there with a surprise gift from Italy sent from my dear friend from Sicilia, Lilybets. She has a beautiful blog and loves roses, creating pretty treasures and all the things that make us kindred spirits. Lilybets is so giving, kind and inspiring.
Even the envelope was special~
Lilybets sent a gorgeous linen towel with the map of Sicila in it's bright and bold colors on a crisp white background. It is beautiful!
Included with the linen was a special postcard pic of the Old Capital of Malta, which is one of the most must-see sights on the island.
And to relax, Lilybets sent some luscious shower gel which is fabulous.
Special gifts from Italy that I will remember and hold dear always. Friendship is such a gift and I have been very blessed by dear friends that make my life complete.
Thank you so much Lilybets for this special gift. I just love it and the meaning behind it will always be dear to my heart.
Visit HERE and say hello to Lilybets. Tell her I sent you.
Have a wonderful winter day my friends.
May you always be blessed with special friendships.
XO Celestina Marie

What a wonderful surprise after a busy day! I love the beautiful Sicilian towel with the map on it and such a pretty card Lilibet made herself for you Celestina Marie. I'm going to visit her blog to get to know her, as I love friends from all over the world, so much fun and learning. I didn't know about her liking roses as I would have invited her to my rose farm post. Have a terrific week and relax a little.

I do believe that Internet can connect people very far but with a similar soul, who are looking to give and to receive pure love!
Hello Celeste,
What lovely gifts! The towel is so colorful - I love it! Thanks for stopping by - I'm glad you enjoyed reading Buster's blog post :) Also, yes, our friend, Cindy, is a very special lady! One of the most generous souls I've ever met. I'm going to visit your shop, now. I see some very beautiful things there! Have a wonderful week.
Hugs, Cindy
Yo are truly blessed to have friends near and far. These gifts are beautiful and thoughtful, I'm so happy for you.
What thoughtful gifts from a sweet friend! Hope you are having a great week. Did you hear that Picnik is shutting down. I'm in panic mode! Wonder if Lone Star has had their sale yet? Love you!
It is always a treat to go to the mailbox and discover something other than bills or junk mail. Especially lovely it is to pull out a gift as special as your gift from Lilybets. What a sweet friend you have in her.
Wishing you a joyous, beautiful day.
Love,
Patti
