You all know the feeling you get when you open your front door and THERE SITS A PACKAGE....

but my excitement got the best of me before I realized I'd
TORN OPEN
everything but this last little gift with the card.....
BLACK AND WHITE AND POLKA DOTS
are the things
MY
dreams are made of .........
Even the simple BJ and hand drawn heart shows me a true artist
sent this to me.......
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL, LITTLE HANDMADE CARD !OH, THANK YOU, MARY
A lovely vintage scarf that is just
PERFECT
for a vintage dresser I have in my guest room....
How did you know, Mary ??
I really got excited when I saw that
MARY
had included 2 of her note cards with photos
SHE TOOK.
I hope you know I will treasure these, Mary...won't be using them to send to anyone...
Pretty sure they will go right in a pretty frame and hang in my living room !
Oh, and how could I NOT just fall in love with this beautiful plate...
I LOVE it !
OOOOOO, more
BLACK AND WHITE AND POLKA DOTS ...
what an adorable pitcher !!
This is just AWESOME...
this little copper heart is
HANDMADE

Oh, I do so love this, MARY...
Thank you!
A precious tower of the
CUTEST
note pads...IN MY COLORS !
The most precious of tiny trays...

I've already put it there and it looks
GREAT....
What a
priceless treasure of
things from a wonderful lady....
MARY, you know me so well and knew I would love every single thing you were so kind as to send to me.

ReplyDeleteHi BJ -
ReplyDeleteOh what wonderful gifts you received! I especially love the yellow tray. I only wish I could stop by and see it on your counter. The tower of notepads is great. I saw some in blues at a local store and I wanted to buy them for my dear mother. I may go back and get them for a 'just because' gift for her. No reason needed!

Aren't surprises FUN?...the GOOD ones I mean. Whatever the contents of a surprise pkg. are, they are always more special when packed with love as in this case.
