All was packed in a huge red bag which was tightly tied up. In it were two packages from two friends that I have never met before. Or spoken to. First I took out a huge box which I received from Urška. She kindly gave me two of her lovely cups - one of them has immediately became my favorite one. You can see how my breakfast looked like on Sunday morning. I had my coffee from my favorite cup. :)
The other package was wrapped in a paper with butterflies pattern. In there a little picture with butterflies was hidden, which found its place among my plants and made the living room look much cozier than it was before. Strange, how such small object can change a room. Beside this framed picture was a little bag, with little people who will chase away all my worries that I might have. Though I hope these little people won't have too much work to do. Lovely, aren't they? Made by native people in South America.
There was also an envelope for me in this huge red bag. Magenta colored envelope. When I took a little peek inside, I was astonished. I kept saying "wow!" for some time. Many little flowers were formed in a heart. All these beautiful things were given to me by Maja.
No wonder that my Valentine's day was such a great day, although I was alone at home. :)
Sometimes I wonder why we have to go through some difficulties in our lives. Why some things happen at all. After things had gone really bad we usually receive the greatest gifts in live. It is not so important to receive material things in life (though, it is nice sometimes, I admit), what matters most are the people who give us support and love us for who we are, not for what we own. I have been found by not only one but by two of them! What a gift! :)

How nice to have made new friends who seem to live close to you.
... because Pina is a very special person :)
I wish you would all live so close that I would be able to spoil you with things I make. ... Or just have a chat over a cup of coffee and some delicious biscuits. :)
wow, can imagine you had a nice day. beautiful! For the frog I used and old music mobile from Stije, which I cut open...the old music mobile looked a bit sad afterwords...
Ooo, I love pretty cups with matching saucers. I can see how one quickly became your favorite. You're right that we shouldn't be materialistic, but pretty things are so nice!
How very nice!
And, you are so very nice, also! It was such a surprise to find my little packet of goodies in my mailbox today. You are so sweet to send them to me. The stamp is beautiful, one of the prettiest I think I've ever seen. I even like the stamps that you used on your envelope, so interesting. I will enjoy a cup of your tea tonight as I read my library book. I so appreciate you thinking of me - it certainly brightened my day! Thank you.
