The lovely thing that happened was my good friend Sam (female Sam) had returned from a trip to India and this is what she brought me back as a present!
This lovely fabric is actually a sari, but I am going to sew it into a dress. There are about 6 or 7 metres of it! The lavender and rust colour combination is really chic.
AND she also brought me this lovely shawl/blanket/warm wooly rectangle:
How incredibly generous of her to think of me when she was seeing all those fabulous sites in India-- each day being overwhelmed with colour and brilliant images. And in the midst of all this excitement, she thought of me and took the time and effort to bring these treasures home for me. How lucky am I??
As well, I have recently been wearing this wonderful brooch on my coat, and people have been remarking on it. That too, reminded me that it was a present from a dear friend who I knew in Canada. Someone who still lights up my life with her entertaining emails.
How wonderful it is to have friends -- whether they give you presents or not. Wouldn't you agree?!

Absolutely! Friends, and our exchanges with them of humour, thoughts and feelings as well as gifts, are some of the greatest pleasures in life.
Gorgeous Indian fabrics, and the brooch is intriguingly quirky. xxxx
What beautiful things! That fabric is lovely.
Maybe you could wear the single earring as a pin in combination with the brooch.
Yes, I love getting presents and I love giving presents. But most of all I love friends and laughing. And the two go together very well. Where would we be without friends?
you are all loved my dear! Thank you for sharing your joy!
Many thanks to everyone who commented. Including the dear friend who brought me the goodies from India. She says she can't leave a comment (it won't let her) but says I've got these wonderful things because of good karma. Aaah! Ain't mutual admiration great?
