Gifts ... Gratitude ... Friendship ...

Over the last month, I have received lovely gifts ... from strangers.


An Instagram friend sent me gifts with a sweet card about GRATITUDE.


The line that resonates with me is turning "a stranger into a friend".


Nancy of @nantiques00 and I became friends when she left a fun comment on a picture I posted of my kitchen.


I cracked up when I read the part about being separated at birth.


Nancy seems to know me because the gifts she sent me were a set of vintage look patriotic cards


and three cute beachy style bracelets.


I signed up for #swapitlikeitshot on Instagram and received great gifts from Kristen of @beachyglamdecor.


Connie of Crafty Home Cottage sent me a set of Bingo balls because she knows that I love numbers.


I won an Instagram giveaway from @clothnshard - I am using the bag to hold flowers.


A totally unexpected gift was a tablecloth from my new Turkish cousin, Aysegul  (my son married into a Turkish family and apparently I too am now part of the family) she promises to take me shopping at the bazaar if I will visit her in Istanbul.


 I am thankful for all the gifts, but more important I am grateful for all my new friends.
