This lovely woman, niasunset, who I only know via blogging, has sent me the most incredible gift of four cushion covers that she hand made. I admired her cushion covers when she photographed them in a previous post and asked if I could purchase a couple – one for me here at home and one for Anthony in the nursing lodge. But nia wouldn’t let me pay and wanted to make and give them to me and yesterday, when I went to our post office, there was the parcel!
It took me ages to unwrap it because it was wrapped several times over and then I opened the last layer and gasped with delight:
I am not very good at arranging things artistically but I did try with this photo. Nia is the artist as you can see if you check out http://photographyofnia.com/about/
Thank you so much, niasunset, for your niasunshine!!!

wow what a beautiful gesture of friendship. And gorgeous covers too.
She is one amazing woman that nia!
How lovely! The gesture and the covers 🙂
Yes, I am gonna fill them in next few days and take another pic!
how lovely !
She is!
A really kind and lovely gift. We’ve just popped over to Nia’s blog – it’s a hive of beauty and one to visit often.
Yes she is a very interesting and creative person this nia!
Wow … wonderful gesture – of real friendship … love the covers too. It’s a fantastic feeling when somebody does something like that.
I am going to come up with a wonderful idea of what to give her back!
I’m sure you will …. earlier this year I gave away music to anyone that was interested – but only a few picked up on the offer, didn’t have that many follower at that time .. here is the link – http://wp.me/p293Pw-LM
Oh thank you! I will get around to it eventually. When I open your posts and the music comes on I always get a fright – a nice fright I mean!
Julie, I hope so .. because I don’t want to scare you *smile
what a lovely gift – I went to her blog because of you and told her I was there because of her generosity
Thank you!!!
What a treasure your friend is, and her work is stunning. You are just so easy to like jules I am not surprised that gifting these to you & Anthony was something she wanted to do. I cannot think of nicer way of saying thank you then what you did.
Photos next of them on the chairs please ~ BB
Yeah, my mum and I are going to shop for filling for the cushions on Monday and then I will take two into Ants and take photos – nia is a legend!
That’s a very nice gift, especially since she made them.
I feel so lucky and grateful!
They’re absolutely gorgeous! What a lovely gift.
Yes, I am gonna fill them this week!
