Thank You Boyntons!

A few days ago there was a package in the mail addressed to me.  I couldn't imagine what it could be as I wasn't waiting on any orders and I did not recognize the address.  But, since it had my name on it - I opened it!

Waiting inside for me was a beautiful package and a card.  The card was not in a handwriting that I recognized but the name at the bottom was clear enough that I knew just who had sent it!  Chris, Kara, Claire and Mya - our good friends the Boyntons!

Such beautiful packaging!

Of course I was super excited and curious - our friends are living in Korea and the return address was Florida!  I carefully unwrapped the package which was like the Russian Nesting Dolls - one package inside the other, each growing smaller as I got closer to the treasure.

A beautiful box inside the gold speckled bag.

And in the box - a small bag

And inside the bag - aqua tissue paper

And inside the tissue paper - a necklace!

 The gift is a necklace that is both beautiful and sentimental.  While Conor, Josh, and I have received so many wonderful things from friends and family while planning for Conor's arrival and after his birth - the one thing that I did not receive was something just for me to remember the moment I became a mom for the first time.  But, Kara (and Chris too) fixed that by sending this beautiful necklace.  It has a starfish (which I love), a small pearl (perfect since I always wear pearl earrings) and then a hand stamped "C" on a small silver circle.

A perfect charm necklace.

I just love this necklace and will treasure it for the rest of my life.  I have worn it several times already and received many compliments on it.  Included in the packaging was the website for the designer of the necklace (www.onelifejewelry.com).  I have looked at some of her other products and many of them are beautiful and would make great gifts for bridesmaids, moms, grandmothers, friends, or anyone who could use a little something special!

Thank you so very much Kara and clan.......the necklace is beautiful and will be treasured!
