A Lovely, Thoughtful Birthday Gift

I wanted to share the gift Rebekah gave me for my birthday because it's a wonderful example of how our family approaches gift giving: a bit homemade, highly tailored to the recipient, and always a wonderful surprise.

Rebekah started with a wooden box from the dollar store that she colored with markers.

And then she filled it with two pieces of BryonySeries themed jewelry. If you've read any books of the series, no explanation is needed. 

If you haven't, you can still admire the pieces and the effort Rebekah spent in finding the right ones.

The gifts are as much a reflection of my interests as they are of the type of person Rebekah is: thoughtful, loving, giving, and altogether lovely.
