A friend gave me this "flowerpot" for my high school graduation. It had a vintage look about it even then, but I don't think I truly appreciated how pretty it was at the time. Through the years, I've grown to just love it. It has acquired a crack and a chip, but it's very special to me. Special, because of the dear friend who gave it to me -- we were the kind of friends that would often wear identical clothes, shoes, etc. -- neither of us had a sister, so we were "twins", even though we looked nothing alike. We would talk on the phone for hours -- starting at about age 12 -- we would write long notes on notebook paper, dotting our "i"s with hearts 'cause we thought it was cute, writing about boys, parents, fashion.... and boys some more......
Here we are at about 15. You can't see it in the photo, but we had matching tan boots on. Are you laughing at the pose yet? Guess we thought we were fashion models with those snazzy hats and those boots!! LOL!!The little flowerpot now resides on my studio creating table....... a lovely reminder to "follow your dreams".

That picture reminds me of me and my best frend that I grew up with. We had so much fun together. We lived across the street from one another.(When I lived with my granny.)And guess what? Her name is Tammy,too.I will find an old picture one day to post about. I love that flower pot that she gave you and its great that you still have it.

Hi Becca,
How wonderful that you still have that lovely flowerpot that Tammy gave you after all these years and that you keep it in a place where you can see it everyday to remind you of your special friendship with her. Hope all is going well with you. Have a great week!!
