Happy Birthday ... from Japan
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 7 February 2008 in Art & Design and Portfolio.
What a delightful surprise to have these handmade treasures I've shared with you this week, arrive in Florida, all the way from Yokohama, Japan. On the reverse side of this gorgeous Lotus Flower photo is a handwritten birthday message. ... Can you see the tiny gold edging that goes all around the outside? Yoshiyuki, you are a very talented artist and I thank you very, very much for sharing your work with me. Let's hope this 70th year for each of us is a healthy and happy one!
Hugs to you and to your lovely wife Gabriela.

@Michael Skorulski: As I've commented before, this is only a 'photo' - the real thing is even more beautiful.
Thank you, Michael, for the birthday wishes!
