Beautiful blog gift

I won a giveaway by a dear friend Marsha, from sassyminidolls.blogspot.com
She sent me this gorgeous lace pouch and a sweet paper bag book, filled with so much beauty, old laces, vintage photos, fragrant envelope filled with lavender and everything I love.
I adore the attention to detail and how creative Marsha is, in all she does.
Many thanks, I will treasure this and will now show you the pages of the book.




I am so fortunate to have made so many beautiful friends from all around the world.
Also ever so grateful for the friendship, love and encouragement we can share.
My daughter was walking down the street and was featured on this Style blog.

I have been out giving our deck a coat of stain today - we have chosen a blonde, which looks like a lime wash and I am pleased with the way it is looking.
I shall show photos when we finish it.
After finishing, my face was the colour of a beetroot, the sunlight was hot outdoors and was glad to come inside and have a drink of water.

I wish you all a wonderful week
Hugs

Blog love and Gifts.

Today was a lovely day for me and I can't tell you how excited I was to have won these two fabulous giveaways. The postman coming twice in one day was wonderful!
Thanks very much to these two lovely Ladies for your kindness, friendship and blog love.

Nancy from tisdesignworksoriginals.blogspot.com gave me this wonderful Christmas stocking canvas and the Santa button that she has made. Go over and meet her and visit her shop and see all the lovely merchandise there.
I marvel at how very talented all my friends are and so kind and generous.

Thank you, also to Koralee for this lovely gift of a beautiful hand made rose bracelet.
