dear best friend...

{by mandy lynne of mandy lynn designs etsy shop}

I don't believe I say this often enough to you, but ::
I love you. 
[to the moon and back again. wink]

we haven't met in person yet, but ever since the first time I stumbled upon your little corner of the blogging world, somehow I just knew you were the girl I would someday want to be good friends with.

you are the girl who I feel the most comfortable pouring my heart out, knowing that you don't mind; and I am always comforted by knowing you've got a wise word to say. you are the girl who always makes me smile when I'm having the worst of days, the one with which I relish exchanging inside jokes and secrets with. you are the girl who transforms my bad days to good and my good days to the best of days.
I wish you could see yourself the way I see you.  you are creative. you are smart. you are wise. you are talented. you are beautiful! I look up to you, darling. you are the girl I know has strengthened my walk with the Lord, and you are the person I pray that my children will be blessed enough to call someone like you their best friend as well.

I am so grateful that the Lord gave me you, darling.
you're the best. ;)

*hugs*
your goosey girl.

more moments.

{via

I think there should be more afternoons reading a book in an inglenook moments,
more journal writing moments,
more letter writing moments,
more watercolor evening moments,
more autumn enjoying moments,
more baking of treats moments,
more poem-writing moments,
more gazing-out-the-window moments,
more daydreaming moments,
more knitting a scarf moments,
more apple picking moments,
more twirling in skirts moments,
more country dancing moments,
more singing at the top of your lungs moments,
more talking with friends moments,
more making a small gift with great love moments,
more moments to take the time to love the beautiful world in which we live.

don't you agree?

xoxo,
the girl in the garden.
