Look what my dear friend Silvia in Spain surprised me with in the mail a few days ago!
From top left, a sweet pastel heart soap. A mauve felted heart soap and a World Peace Candle. You can see Silvia's handmade soaps in her beautiful shop at Taller de Sabo'. You'll have a fun time checking out all the beautiful, colorful soaps, felted flowers, etc., there.
I don't want to spoil your surprise by putting too many pics of her work here. It is such a feast for the eyes, I want you to see it for yourself at her site.
About the Peace Flame:
In July 1999, Ghandi's grandchildren, along with other peace movement groups lighted the Peace Flame in India for the first time. The candle that my friend Silvia sent me was lit from that peace flame. (of course it was not lit when she mailed it, but it still held the energy of the original flame). The directions that came with the candle, say to light a new one from the Peace Flame candle, extending the energy of the original Peace Flame. We then pass on the candle we received in the mail. You can then light more candles from your candle and pass them on as well. We are asked to light our candle for at least two minutes each day to bring hope, peace and inspiration to ourselves and all others. Such a beautiful practice. I am happy to be a part of this practice. Wouldn't it be great if everyone in blog land was lighting a candle daily and praying (asking) for world peace. Such a simple thing to do. Let me know if you'd like to have one for yourself and to pass on to others that you know. I'll send as many candles out as I possibly can. You can email me at thegarden70@yahoo.com.
Thank you Silvia for the wonderful surprise! You are much loved and appreciated.
Wishing you all a great week end.
