My Favourite Things Part 3 - Gifts I have been given

And then there are those lovely and beautiful items which some wonderful person has thoughtfully chosen and given to me and my family which are not only treasures in their own right but are extra special because of the sentimental value they hold.
I love this bronze statue of two swans nuzzling each other
This was a gift from my parents for our Bronze wedding anniversary and is
significant because swans are said to keep the same mate for life.
A Wooden ornament from our former language student Amy
