Hello everyone! I had a little birthday last month and my dear, sweet, vintage loving, mixed media art making friends Jodi, Kelley and Kim (girls I put you in ABC order...lol) each gave me something special to mark the day. These girls really know me. Whether it is sharing a special find or making a handmade treasure, it makes me feel like a kid again when we exchange gifts. This adorable tag above was made by Kim. With it was this little cutie-
I had seen this on Etsy. Kim hijacked my favorites and found it. Thanks, Kim! I love it and looks great in the kitchen.
This beauty came from Kelley. Kelley and I have a mutual blog friend, Petite Michelle Louise. We both love Michelle's blog and her fantastic Etsy shop! One of my favorite finds in the shop would be Michelle's altered door knobs. Kelley got me one! Isn't this perfection?!
How about these two darling gifts? They are from Jodi and her daughter Sydney (Kara's BFF). I can't stand how cute this little bucket is on my back porch. This hen pin cushion was a real surprise. Sydney also got me a gift. Makes my heart melt that she found this and thought of me.
I had another sweet surprise in the mail. I fun filled package of little paper pieces, hat pins and organza bags from sweet June at Lina Beas. June, I have already used half the envelope for teacher appreciation week! I dug in right away. THANK YOU! Guess what? June has a giveaway here if you'd like to stop by and enter. Take a look -
Life is better with friends at your side. So glad to call these girls and each of you who visit, my friends. Hope you are having a great week and a safe weekend. Thanks so much for stopping by!
