Gift of Vision…

I truly hope everyone is having an amazing week between Celebrating Christmas with your loved ones and gearing up for New Years!  I pray for a happy, safe and joyous holiday for all of you!

A year ago I shared a story of a special gift for someone very dear to me.  If you missed it and want to visit the post ~ click here.  The gift I give my niece to remember her mother is always my most favorite gift to watch her open.  I search all year long for ideas and inspiration as to what would be endearing to her.

This year my sweet friend Michelle over at Petite Michelle Louise created a beautiful ‘photo holder’ especially for this occasion.

I’ve been obsessed with ordering Michelle's Photo Holders over this past year from Petite Michelle Louise Etsy Store ~ with full intentions of purchasing them to give as gifts, but when they arrived in the mail, they seem to sneak their way upon my shelf in my bedroom & in other places throughout my home.  So the fact that she created one of these for my niece was more than just appropriate!

With a pearl in the center of the glittered angel wings was the perfect touch with thoughts of my nieces mother.  Most of all the delicate adornment of the beading around the knob with the charm dangling below with the word…“Vision”.

I wrapped it up and put it under the tree with no tag, but my sweet niece knew this was the “one” that would make us both cry when she saw it under there.

Happy Holiday Season to you all ~ To see what I am linking to this week – please check my “Cottage Links” label…xoxo, tracie
