A gift of friendship!

I feel so blessed to have met some of the most amazing, talented, creative and caring friends since I started blogging 2 years ago!
Blogging has really changed my life and I am  so grateful to you all! I am daily inspired by you!
Recently, my dear friend Sandi sent me this great canvas piece as a gift!

I had set it against the wall in the house but...
I have been feeling a little down this past week so I decided to find a great home for it~in the cottage.

I hung just above a vintage galvanized bucket of wood moulding and millwork taken out of our home during the renovation process. The galvanized pedestal came from Horton's this past Spring!
I have used it both inside and out this Summer and love, love, love it too!

The  Canvas color is the coolest shade of Aqua/grey with cream writing in a black frame~perfect!
I really love it and wanted to share it with you!
Maybe it will make you smile as it did me!


Thank you Sandi! You're the best!
If you haven'y stopped by Sandi's blog lately...you really should! She has such a beautiful blog and always does the sweetest posts!
I love her style...White and Wonderful!

I hope you stop by again tomorrow...it's Tinker's birthday and I spent sometime this weekend getting my little Folly ready for the change in weather!

Until tomorrow!
