The front of the card was darling and if you know Claudie, this looks like her!! She loves pink!
Look what Claudie sent me!! Is this not darling or what? The most precious little baby grand piano ~ just like mine!
I love it and just cried when I saw what she had sent to me!
Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia ;)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song~
In My Life
There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more
~sung by me and The Beatles :)

Shelia,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely surprise! What a treat to find such an intricate gift to compliment your baby grand.
Reading through the lines. . .more than the gift. . .your voice was one of great friendship and connection with the giver. I see your "true gift" of friendship shining through. You truly are blessed!
Fondly,
Pat
That is such a wonderful gift, Shelia! Very, very shiny indeed and perfect for you! :-)
ReplyDeleteIs it your birthday and we didn't know??? I am going to be so upset with you if you didn't tell us, Shelianess.
I think those little people bear a striking resemblance to you and Mr. Precious, don't you? And I can see the two of you dancing around on the top of your piano! Well, in my mind I can see it. ;-)
Love you and can't think of anyone who deserves a special pressie more than YOU!
XO,
Sheila :-)
What a special gift and from a special lady. I think Claudie is an amazing lady just like you!
ReplyDeletenever met you in person - but oh, the joy you bring when I stop by your place. So glad, someone showed their kindness to you! You much desire some joy for all the smiles and joy you bring to us in blogland.
ReplyDeleteOh Shelia! What a wonderful gift! Isn't Claudie just one of the sweetest ladies in blogland?

That was such a thoughtful gift! I am glad you enjoyed your holiday and all your pictures are beautiful. Too bad that little old cruise ship didn't come to Charlottetown we would have been minutes away-maybe someday Mr. Precious will surprise you with another trip this way!

How sweet and thoughtful of your dear friend. A true treasure to keep.
ReplyDeleteSheila, I am amazed at how nice people that we have not even met in person will do the darndest things. I had a blogger friend send a couple of things to me to give to Leila. I love your little piano and dancers.
ReplyDeleteThat's just adorable Shelia. What a sweetie she is!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Marcia
I agree, Claudie is a darling thoughtful person. This piano and the figurines are awesome. Having met her, she is a dear person and is loved by all who know her.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Jeanne
You have captured the hearts of many Miss Shelia, mine being one of them. I just knew it was meant for you. I love the "note song" that is accompanying your thanks.
ReplyDeleteHopefully we will meet this summer here in my little corner of the world.
Love You

What a wonderful gift from a sweet friend! I love the detail of the little piano - and the dancing couple is precious.
ReplyDelete~Adrienne~
How I wish you knew how to post one of those little video's you can click on and see you and hear you sing your songs! I keep hoping and hoping.
ReplyDeleteDi over at The Blue Ridge Gal. She does it all the time...and she doesn't even sing or play the piano!
What a treat that would be for all of us...won't you look into it?
Hugs!
Please??
