The Buzz!!

Hi Sweeties!!

Just poppin’ in to let you know I have prayed for you and am thinking of you all!!

So here’s the buzz!!  I am healing well, have had some other unexpected little issues to deal with, and like many of you I am VERY COLD!!   :o)

There is pollen all over the place down here, but we are still having freezing temps…unusual for sure!!

I thank the Lord for helping me successfully fight off a virus that Maddy got, and for healing up this 51 yo body so well!! 1 1/2 weeks and it is back to my normal activities!!  WOOHOO!!!!

We’ve got a lot going on around here so you may not hear from me until Monday!!  Don’t worry, though, ALL is good!! 
Can’t wait to get around and visit!!  Miss you SO much when I don’t get to be in touch with you regularly!! 

I’ve read this on a couple of blogs and each day I learn more about how true it is…

BLOG FRIENDS ARE REAL FRIENDS!!

I’m SO thankful for you!!

Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day, and know that this sunshine gal thinks you are just the

BEE’S KNEES!!!

Christmas in February?

 

Well it sure felt like it yesterday when I checked the mail and a box from far away arrived chock full of lovely goodies!!

My name was recently drawn as the winner of a giveaway over at my friend Spencer’s blog Bellamere Cottage!!!

Spencer is such a wonderfully talented, warm-hearted lady, and I’m so glad we met in blogland.  She has an incredible eye for whatever is pretty and cozy, and has gifted hands to help her create all manner of beautiful things for her cottage home.  Go say Hi, won’t you??!!

She sent me some of her handiwork and some other treasures and pleasures!!

She wrapped the box perfectly and doodled a lovely flower design all around my address.  Details…I just love attention to detail, and Spencer covered it all!!

Look at all of this WONDERFULNESS!!

Her precious note card!!

OOO---AAAHHH!!!  I wish there was smell-e-vision!!!  All these things smell amazing!!  What did you spritz them with Spencer??

I love this felt heart she made!  Look at the detail!!

Vintage ribbon hanger…{sigh…}

And if you look around the piece the buttons (look like vintage, too) are on, you can see little iridescent beadwork!! 

Going GIDDY over the delightful details!!

 

A cute photo frame with ribbon flowers!

BE STILL MY HEART!!  Handmade by Spencer potholders!!!
These just make my heart sing!!

 

A pretty little bit of charm…

Are you beginning to get a feel for Spencer and her talent??

ADORABLE vintage red checkered tablecloth!!
This has inspired me to get some pieces to use with it for coffee, or lunch with friends!

 

A bright cheerful dish towel from Crate and Barrel.  Yes, I do have a thing for pretty dishtowels.  Shhhh!  Not an addiction…just a thing, ok??!!

And finally, a sweet vintage handmade potholder that Spencer says NOT to use to handle hot pots!!  OUCH!!!  Just a pretty to enjoy!!

Oh Spencer…(I call her cupcake because she is so sweet!)
Thank you SO very much!!  You have no idea how this brightened my day!  You are a  sweet blessing, my friend!!

Hope you enjoyed seeing my goodies! 
Praying that you all will have a great week!!

Love ya!!
