"Amicus veritas est rara avis" - a true friend is a rare bird.
Thought I'd share a last Christmas gift that I made for a friend. Unfortunately, before I sent it to her, I forgot to photograph it - which is why I haven't shown it here before. But she kindly took some photos of it this week, so I have a record of it - and I get to put it on my blog!
It's a tiny little box to hold wishes and special thoughts. A little birdie sits on the lid and then inside is the inscription in Latin "amicus veritas est rara avis".

Wow, Ruth, your friend is so lucky. This is sooooo precious!
Sweet!!!
It's a beautiful gift! Very lovely idea and a beautiful inscription. Just lovely!
She's a wonderful friend. It's such a different experience making something for a specific person! Do you find the same? Even if I do a commission for someone I don't know, knowing a little about what they tell me, makes a difference!
Great job!
A truly inspiring quote.
Thanks Agathe. Glad you like it.
