I received a wonderful surprise in the mail today. Well, it wasn't necessarily a surprise, but there was a surprise included.
I commissioned my lovely friend, Cate, to paint a couple of pictures for me. They were amazing when I saw them, which I had no doubt. But, included was a painting of a tea cup. It doesn't seem like much, but for us that represents many evenings we had together. We would just sit around, drinking tea or coffee or hot cocoa, and just talking. I miss those nights terribly, but hopefully soon we'll be able to set up coffee dates and Skype each other since I'm in Minnesota and she's in Texas.
Our friendship has been consistent since freshman year of college and even with us both pursuing our own paths, we have stayed connected. I'm beyond thankful to have such an amazing friend in my life and someone who has so much talent.
Below are the pictures I commissioned. I'll be hanging them on the wall when I get into the new apartment.
