I am so thankful to have made many friendships since I started blogging.
I was very surprised when a package arrived at home recently.
A very sweet and thoughtful friend sent me that sweet cherub and this beautiful button heart.
I am sure many of your know her.
Vickie from Ranger911 sent me these gifts!
Aren’t the both beautiful!
And so me!
Oh yes I have a few special places in mind for that cherub.
And this beautiful hand stitched heart button too!
I will share very soon.
Go on over and check out her blog HERE !
So talented and so funny too!
She always puts a smile on my face!
Recently I ordered a beautiful tiara from Rosemary at Villabarnes
And along with this beautiful tiara she sent this tucked inside.
A vintage French paper dyed in blue with that sweet rose and ribbon!
I am sure you know how much I LOVE this tiara.
And this sweet little token too!
I was lucky to meet Rosemary last year.
She is an amazing artist!
And a beautiful person inside and out!
Go visit her blog Villabarnes and check out her etsy shop HERE
She always inspires me!
Some roses I picked up at the market today.
Perfect for my farmhouse kitchen.
And the price was right too!
I bought 3 dozen roses for 13.00!
On sale and with some store coupons it was a steal!
They really cheer me up on our gloomy days.
Tomorrow we are headed for yet another snow storm!
I have been freshening things up around here.
Getting ready for spring.
Although it does not look like spring outside.
What are you up too?

I’m glad you like the things I sent, Anne. You are such a kind person and are always so supportive of all your blogger friends. Enjoy! (Thanks for the shout out.)
The crown is beautiful! I can’t wait to see what you do with it! Enjoy your summery roses even if you’re looking at snow through you windows. Spring IS just around the corner. 🙂

Your roses are beautiful, Anne! I will probably get some roses this week when I go food shopping. Last week it was tulips. Love the tiara you got from Rosemary. I got one of her little crowns. She is so talented the way she puts these things together. Hope you don’t get hit too badly with the snow. We have snow showers in our forecast most of the week. I’m over it now! : )
Anne says
Oh tulips are so pretty too!
Yes Rosemary is so talented! Did you see those beautiful frames she transformed in her latest post?
I hope we won’t either.They are talking 2-6 inches.Two is not so bad.But six is another story!

Love your beautiful roses I bet they smell wonderful. I am awaiting this storm that is headed our way. I hope it is not as bad as they are predicting.
