Shiraz

Shiraz celebrated her 18th birthday back in January. Her mum told me that she plays the guitar, lives with her earbuds in and reads voraciously. She has been a world traveller since she was a baby, she loves making spaghetti and, finally, that she loves her Blundstones, the boots that all the Israeli kids wear.
I have shown Shiraz playing her black classical guitar. She has white earbuds in her ears. Behind her a globe and an aeroplane represent her passion for travel. A bowl of spaghetti and a small pile of books, representing her love of reading, are to her left. Her Blundstone boots are to her right. I added a big 18 to mark her age.
The Hebrew greeting on the card says ודבר בעתו מה טוב which translates as "and something in its proper time, how good it is". This comes from the pasuk (a verse, usually from Hebrew Bible)
שמחה לאיש במענה פיו ודבר בעתו מה טוב, "A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth; And something in its proper time, how good it is" (Book of Proverbs 15:23)
My customer was delighted with the card:
"Lisa's card for my eldest's 18th birthday was absolutely perfect. I can't recommend these cards enough - we're definitely coming back for more!"
Saturday evening marks the start of Pesach, or Passover, and my family and I will celebrate the Passover Seder. You can read more about it in two of my previous posts here and here. 'Chag Pesach Sameach', a happy Passover festival, to all celebrating.
