Day 188: I got mail!

Do you like getting real mail? I do.

I am always surprised and thrilled to get a human mail.

Today, like most days, I wasn't sure what to blog.

But then, by mail,  I got this ...

Imagine opening an envelope to this ...

A work of art!

From Emi.

A very special friend.

A handmade 

thank you

of such 

beauty

and grace, 

I had 

to take

photos

to share.

I knew

I would

not be 

able

to

re-do

it.

As I 

opened it,

I realized 

there was

a kimono 

figure 

and 

a fan

within the 

exquisite 

folds and

layers.

On one side of the fan

was Arigato and Thank You

in different languages.

Mizuhiki cord and back view of kimono.

Folded inside, a handwritten message.

I am blessed with such kind friends.

I need to get busy and write a thank you ...

for the thank you!
