I was recently browsing on Instagram and came across a lovely Protection Pocket on a page belonging to @marielle. I really liked it and shared it with a few friends. My sister, Di's best friend, Brenda commented on how much she loved it.

Sorry for the blurry photograph. The original image was on a video, and I screen capped it after Brenda commented about it. I just want to be sure that no one thinks I'm taking credit for an original idea that belongs to another.
Brenda had surgery yesterday, so I sat down and created my version of the pocket to send to her with get well wishes. Rather than a bird charm, I used a vintage bird pin with the pin back removed. I've also tucked a small heart charm into the heart pocket for her. Of course, I added my signature acorn charm to the back.
It's going out in today's post and will wing its way to Minnesota for her. I sure hope she loves it.
Today's my work day, so I'm going to go get ready. Another busy week on the calendar. I'm sure this week, as usual will simply whistle by. Yippee. See you tomorrow!
I'm sure she will love it!

What a thoughtful and beautiful gift - she's bound to love it! (I missed commenting yesterday... I think Daisy is just precious! I was grinning and grimacing as I read your skunk story. Isn't it funny how we all have a skunk story?! But the thought of your dad endeavoring to lovingly embrace the skunk... that's too stinkin' funny.😆)
ReplyDeleteHi Lois:
DeleteThanks so much! The Daisy story is a favorite for me. I still remember it like it was yesterday.
I'm glad it tickled you, too.

I love the thought of a protection pocket and I know your friend will treasure it. They could also be called prayer pockets if they were used in the same vein as prayer shawls. Perhaps include a bible verse inside that pertains to healing. So many uses!
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteI love the idea of calling it a prayer pocket! Future pockets will bear the name change. Thanks so much! I have a prayer shawl that was gifted to me when Fezzik passed unexpectedly. It was a great comfort and continues to be a treasured gift. I love the idea of tucking a favorite verse in the pocket, too. (Ephesians 6:10-11 or Psalm 91:11-12)
