We know how you all love a greenie! And this one is a treasure pot.

This Victorian era green paste Tassie features imagery of an old skool mirror with the motto ‘A True Friend’.

One might possibly mistake this as a conceited brag about your own inflated opinion of your good looks and physical attractiveness.

But methinks not.

Besides there’s not many of us out there who’d parade their own delight at our perceived beauty is there?!
That’d be a bit much and terribly un-British!

Rather we take it as more of a profound statement about trust and self respect.

There are times when I think most of us feel let down, misunderstood, undervalued.
And those times are hard.
The hardest.

That’s when this talisman comes into its own.
It’s all about remembering who the duck you are.
It’s about self reliance, self trust and inner strength.
It’s the belief that you are enough.
That when you feel like there’s no one you still have yourself.
And as hard as that is, you are stronger, braver and more capable than you know.

Be your own best friend essentially.

Gaze in that mirror and know absolutely that you are ok.
Or that you will be ok. Because you are you.
And you are enough.

We kinda love that notion.
