Some gifts are priceless. Not because of their translation into dollars or rupees, but the sheer love and effort that goes into them.
Last week, I waited desperately for a post to arrive. And what a wait it was, flipping open my metal mail box at least twice a day! When the post did arrive, I squealed with joy. My dear friend Ashwini of http://indulge-ashscorner.blogspot.com sent me a cute set of handmade gifts.
You may figure out that the little felt ball on the left in this picture, is a flower. Yes it is. But with a purpose. It is a coat-pin for my black winter coat!
The other two gifts,
a lovely little soap bar that she made at home! And...
some body lotion, or butter as you would call it.
Ashwini's homemade soaps and lotions are a hit with her friends. I have met her, and let me tell you her skin is perfect, thanks to such lovely work with essential oils, basic home oils such as almond oil, olive oil and the likes from the kitchen shelf, and some soap base from the craft store!
I consider these my birthday gifts, even if she did not know and yet sent them over.
Big hugs to you Ashwini! Am inspired to make my own soaps now!
