Iceland landed .......a random act of kindness....

A few weeks ago

or maybe it was days ago

I posted the photo of my beads.

Svana,

who hails from ICELAND

told me she wanted my address so she could send me something.

She INSISTED....

well, today I got a package in the mail

from

ICELAND

the island

with the volcano

that no one can pronounce

that messed up the flights for weeks

that island.

It took no time at all to get here

and this is what she sent me....

but first you have to know about this young lady.

We met on Flickr

as you do!!

and through posting comments and such

we became what we call

Flickrfriends!!!

We've flickrmailed a few times

and I found out

that she is leaving her homeland to go and live in Norway.

Her husband is there now getting things ready for his family to go and join him in a few weeks

where they will start a new life .

Svana.....isn't that a great name!!

is the mother of five beautiful children.  FIVE!!!

:)

She has been packing their things in boxes

and making sure that everything is done and ready to go.

She has been very busy

as we can imagaine

but,

when she saw the beads

she asked me to send my address

she insisted

and told me how excited she was because she had thought of something she wanted to send me.

I got the package today

as I said......

a box of cards

with inspirational sayings

to make us all better people

from the Hidden People of Iceland.

I LOVE folklore!

These are my favourites..

I'll post better pics later....

and in a bag

were these.........

TURQUOISE  SILVER

and

VOLCANIC beads

from the land she will soon be leaving

to start a new life with her family.

she sent me a piece of her homeland

and I will treasure it for ever.

Thank you Svana

for your sweet generosity

for taking time out to think of someone you have never met

I wish you and your family nothing but

happiness health and good fortune

and

PLEASE

when you get there

send me a photo

of all of you

YOU included

standing infront of that great house

smiling, so I know you're happy!!!!!

(I won't post it if you don't want me to

I promise!!!)

þakka þú a þúsund sinnum minn sætur Iclandic Víkingur Prinsessa

I have to go

I can't see through the tears!!!!

:)
