what's the best gift you've ever gotten?That's easy. The best gift I ever got was from my husband. A few years ago he took one of my favorite pieces of lavender sea glass (it was very smooth, small and round) and had it bezeled in gold as a charm for my charm bracelet. Every time I look down at the charm, I'm not only reminded of his thoughtfulness, but of the calm I feel when walking the rocky New England coasts searching for sea glass and pottery.
what gift are you most excited to give this year?My nephew's gift. We'll be getting him some cool musical instruments from the fabulous Land of Nod.
what's number 1 on your wish-list this year?No one on my wish-list? I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend getaway in Vermont and some bulky blue sky alpaca yarn.
best gift you've ever given?fave holiday tradition?My favorite holiday tradition and gift I've given are both wrapped in the same package. Mike and I exchange one ornament each year as a symbol of something significant from that past year. My favorite is from our first dinner date in 2005 when I saved the cork, wrote out the menu, and saved a bead from a necklace that had broke that night and sewed it altogether and added a string for hanging. I'm kind of a sucker for hand made things.
awwwww, becca! way to make us all look bad. thanks for reminding us the bestest gifts come from the heart not from a store. you're as beauteous as your work. happy holidays to YOU and yours.
