How I wish we could really fly! I mean like birds. Wouldn’t that be so free, and no having to take off our shoes for security.
Tomorrow morning we fly (sigh, on an airplane) back to Florida. Our trip’s been delightful in every way. For frosting on the cake, Sandy surprised me with this 1930’s Egyptian bracelet from Bella’s Etsy shop.
Sandy and Bella conspired and she sent the package with a faux return address. Still, I wondered what S. had ordered from Extraordinary Gifts for Clever Gentlemen . . . . And they couldn’t have chosen a finer gift, I love it.

I've always loved that quote. Debbie @ ilovemylemonadelife.com
What a lovely present. Going through all that secret trouble, makes the gift even more value. Bella is the best (and your gorgeous huband too of course).

Oh, the bracelet is a real beauty! Love it
That's some guy you've got there. Gorgeous bracelet. Welcome back to Florida…we've missed you 🙂 I've enjoyed posts during your trip, NYC is so much fun to visit with a good travel companion.
What a wonderful surprise gift, and how fun that Bella and Sandy conspired to make you so happy!
I saw that quote of Maya Angelou's recently. It's so true.
Look at that model hand! : ) Not only is the bracelet lovely but it goes perfectly with your divine ring.
Ha I love that it was marked Extraordinary gifts for clever gentlemen. Brilliant!

Oh what fun! Your bracelet is exquisite! I couldn't have made my *Bella* purchase without the help of my husband…he was a willing courier. We are so lucky to have such indulgent partners Patti!
Gorgeous bracelet!!
Fabulous bracelet and I love the tale of subterfuge between Bella and Sandy. Safe journey x
What a gorgeous gift! Sandy is indeed a clever gentleman! Safe journey home, Patti. xxx
