A Beautiful Shore Bird Nest

Happy Friday Dear Friends,


I want to share something
I purchased from my friend
Vicki from....


I few weeks ago Vicki finished
a project she was working on
featuring her beautifull Shore
Bird Nests that she lovingly
made. Vicki lovingly by hand
made each one, which took her
a few months to make. Two
of the nests were very special
because she was donating the
proceeds to the Suncoast
Seabird Sanctuary in Florida,
this is the largest Shorebird
Hospital in the USA and
receives 8000 admissions
a year for treatment and
rehabilitation.

I was one of the lucky ones
who was able to purchase
one of the two shorebird
nests whose proceeds go
to a much needed cause.

I have taken a few pictures
of which they don't do justice
to the breathtakingly loving
work the Vicki has done.


Please go visit Vicki's site
and stroll through this very
lovely lady's blog. You will
be glad you did...she is one
of the most loving and caring
people that you have ever met.


God Bless All,

Susan

    I have long admired Vicki's blog and her beautiful nests. She sometimes even writes a short story about their adventures!

    Wow! these nests are truly fabulous! You are so lucky to be the owner of one! I went to her blog and viewed other of her nests, went to her Etsy site and see they are all sold out. This is a stunning piece of art, I love it! Thanks for sharing.
    You should check my blog today, there is a surprise for you.

    Susan I have never ever seen anything like this. Wish I could see it in person. Looks very pretty.
    Girlfriend I just read your comment on my site and I have to say you are a very naughty girl. Santa may just leave you coal in your stocking and it might be hot too. hahaha
    I nearly died when I read your funny comment. Boy do I wish we lived close
    Love

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
