A Box for me

I am constantly finding boxes at my front door. Usually they are filled with print orders from the lab, equipment I ordered from B&H, or albums or products. So, when I discovered a box yesterday I didn’t think much of it, until I opened it up. It was a gift… for me… from one of my beautiful brides, Alli, of Alli and Adam from a few weeks ago. I could not believe it. I sifted through the shredded packing paper to find a canister of gypsy tea (fair trade which makes it even better.) I then found an amazing hand made mug wrapped up in a beautiful vintage inspired cloth (I love anything vintage.) The mug had butterflies, BUTTERFLIES! I don’t know if Alli knew this but my Grandma Hammon LOVED butterflies. She had a sweater full of butterfly pins and at church people would sometimes buy a butterfly and pin it on her sweater, so… I LOVE Butterflies! And then, the most beautiful gift of all, her words. Inside was a card, handwritten with beautiful words (I am always jealous of people who write pretty.) I won’t write it all out but here is a little excerpt: (Alli, I hope you don’t mind.)

“You were a priceless addition to our wedding and I’m thankful to have had you as one of our few witnesses (of course, capturing it in a way no one else possibly would!)”

Thank you Alli and Adam! Your thoughtfulness was much appreciated!
