In spite of the time crunch here, I just had to share some photos from our recent Nature exchange with Silvia. This is something we do once a year with Silvia and her family. I have shared previous Nature exchanges here and here.
My children and I have always thought that collecting and sending the Nature treasures to Silvia is the best part...
..until the box from Silvia arrives and we discover what she and her family have sent us....
Books! Lovely, living books!! Take a peek..
Not to mention sweet notes from her girls, a yummy Texas fruitcake, a volcanic rock from Italy, a fridge magnet from Malta, beautiful journals,
And these gorgeous tablecloths..
The children are devouring the books, and we are all devouring the fruitcake. Thanks again, Silvia! I am so thankful for our friendship! :)
