Minnesota Sunshine

| hand-carved sunflower March 2021 |
I received a surprise package in my mailbox last week: some Minnesota sunshine in the form of a wooden sunflower, carved by FarGuy (Gene H.), and painted by both FarGuy and FarSide (Connie H.) Connie and I have been blog friends for several years.
Both Connie and Gene are carvers and create over 100 hand-carved Christmas ornaments for their family and friends every year. Sometimes, she will host a contest with one of the ornaments being the prize.
In 2018, I won a contest Connie hosted on her blog, and my prize was a tiny house she had carved. It's a treasure as is this gorgeous sunflower Gene and she created.
What a wonderful gift - it would be great anyway, but knowing the people who made it for you makes it even more special!
ReplyDeleteAwww brings a smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteWow! Just a beautiful ornament to have in your home especially because of the love in every line of the sunflower!
