A gift for Kathy....

Hello, ladies...

I just wanted to share a cool gift idea that worked out really well for one of our gifts to our daughter*in*law, KATHY.

 A lot of my bloggy friends know that my son, DAVID KEITH,

and his sweetie, KATHY, own a large and beautiful

GRAPE VINEYARD out here in West Texas.

Sometimes, during the summer, I do a photo shoot of this pretty vineyard.

 THIS is one of my favorite photos of a luncheon in the vineyard....

it looks like a painting to me.

THANKFULLY, it looked like a painting to FIFI FLOWERS, too 

and she painted it.    "THANK YOU, FIFI." ♥

I had it framed and gave it to son and daughter in law that following Christmas.

They were thrilled.....

Wanting to give her something for this CHRISTMAS to carry out the 

VINEYARD THEME that she has going in her lovely home,

I came up with the following....

 I bought a large FILLABLE, glass lamp and

filled it almost full with WINE CORKS...

I like a little of the clear glass showing for contrast....

I bought a large box of incredible wine corks off of EBAY...

a super place to get all you might want of corks for use in so many awesome crafts.

I found the perfect shade  at

TARGET....

and since it would be hard to  WRAP to go under the Christmas tree,
I just

tied a big RED PLAID BOW

around the shade.....
and sit it under the tree.

It made an awesome looking lamp and one that will 

be the topic of conversation around their home for awhile , I am sure.

Probably along the lines of "did ya'll drink ALL THAT WINE?" ...hahaaha
I just hope she doesn't say, "Noooo, my mother*in*law did....."
I love ya, Kathy girl.

.....hope everyone has a FABULOUS day.

LOVE, bj ♥
