I promise that this week's post will be much shorter! Thank you to all those who left lovely comments last week - it means a lot :)
This week's theme is 'All Wrapped Up', which has loads of possibilities...
Sally included several dictionary definitions of 'wrap', both as a verb and a noun... I decided to take one of each and express them in one photo...
Verb: To cover, envelop, or encase, as by folding or coiling something about
Noun: A garment to be wrapped or folded about a person, especially an outer garment such as a robe, cloak, shawl, or coat
My beautiful pashmina, sent to me from the States by a beloved friend, after we moved back to England over 20 years ago!! It has worn extremely well, and gets even softer and snugglier each year.
Whenever I wear it, I am enveloped by warmth and love, encased in a life-long friendship, and the miles apart just slip away...

Sweet sentiment. I have a pashmina sent to me by a friend when I was sick. I understand just how much you feel that love wrapped around you when you are snuggled up in your pashmina.
A beautiful cherished gift to wrap you in wonderful memories.

Lovely pashmina. Wonderful to be 'all wrapped up' in love, warmth and friendship.
Your friend is going to love that her gift still means so much. Beautiful color!
Love things that when worn provide us with wonderful memories.
I have shawls all over the house, most have been knitted by me but it is a wonderful feeling being all wrapped up in a shawl!
I think shawls are so beautiful. How much more wonderful is this lovely shawl because of the love and comfort you find in it. Such a treasure:)

Hi Claire, Such a nice post, especially for the cold weather we are having. It makes me warmer just to read it. I have never been able to pull off wearing a shawl. I keep tugging at them but I love the way the look on other people!
