Mother's Day Gifts From The Heart

I am so blessed.
I am blessed to be a Mother.
I am blessed to be a Grandmother.
I am blessed to be Nana..
just Nana...

My children honored me with
the most wonderful, thoughtful
gifts.  I was not expecting
it and there are several
pictures of me bawling..
which I will NOT be showing
because, trust me,
they aren't pretty!

I am apologizing for the pictures
ahead of time-I did not
realize how bad they were
until I loaded them into the blog...ugh...

Here is a tea set of
bone china.

I have never seen this pattern
before, have you?

It looks Irish but is made in England
as you can see by the mark
(or not-you know my photo skills)

It is beautiful and I love anything Irish.

I received a wonderful purse..

and a bracelet..

and a great ceramic
"watering can"
that has been planted with
a miniature rose.

And 3 wonderful cards-

But my
MOST SPECIAL
gift of all..
came from my
grandkids..
It is etched with the words.
"My favorite people call me Nana"

SweetCheeks informed me that
I could wear it IN the shower
but I could NOT wear it to bed.
Hmmm...she'll never know!
I don't think I will ever
take it off!
I Am
Blessed-Simply-Blessed.

I was meaning to write and tell you that I have been in touch with Lisa... but now i understand why she needs to fucus on her faith. I have friends in the same faith and have done bible study with them in the past... But I think she has made the right decision for her and hope that she is happy with her decision- I am sure she will be....

Love it all! You are so blessed, but not with the things they gave you, with their love for you. I wouldn't take the necklace off ever! I can see why you cried!
I have not seen the pattern on the china before, but it is so you.
Have a great day!

LOL...i got so tickled at your comment on the white sleds getting lost in a snowbank. Never thought of that! I was thinking how cool the white sled would look on my white fireplace with a green wreath this Christmas. :) You sure received some wonderful Mother's Day gifts. Love that laurel wreath china!! Happy day to you Nana.

What wonderful gifts, Diana, for a wonderful Mom and Nana! I love the china. I've never seen that patter either, and my first guess was that it was Irish. And all of your other treasures are wonderful, too! Love the necklace and purse. Now, we just need to see photos of your "bawling" face! tee, hee!!!

That's a really sweet necklace. I know how true those words are, because my favorite people call me Grandma! (well... with the exception of Brilyn and Olivia who are not yet talking)
