I received my gift of jewels in the post!!! I came home after an otherwise fabulous day. Didn't think it could get any better. But there it was. A handwritten envelope. I jumped up and down, anxiously waiting to get inside to rip it open.
A purple envelope that simply said Se'lah rested inside. It held the most beautious handmade card decorated with a matryoshka nesting doll theme...friends was the word that immediately came to mind as I noticed how they were leaning on each other so lovingly.
But that wasn't all. There was another envelope with a specially stamped moleskine for my bloggy thoughts when I'm out and about.
Aren't they beea-u-tiful? I treasure them both, from the very bottom of my heart.
Thanks a million, Julochka. You are a most precious jewel.
One Love.

ok, that's so weird, blogger ate my comment. i know i left one yesterday! oh well, i guess it was a sacrifice to the gods of google...
what i said then was i'm so glad it got there safely and that you liked it.
thank you so much for arranging this! it was a lovely thing to do. do it again soon (tho' i realize there's probably not more than one ethiopian new year per year). :-)
A lovely card. I got my card on Saturday from my new friend. I have it proudly on my desk.
Such a beautiful card and the sentiment is perfect...I love the dolls!!
I'm so glad you received your part in all of this -- it has been a tremendous outpouring of love and sharing...we need more of this in the world!

Beautiful card, friendship memento, and little drop of love...
