Delightful Surprise

The lovely Elissa from Delightful Hands blog sent us a little Christmas surprise! It arrived on what we like to call Christmas Eve Eve. One of the best days of the year. Everything is done (almost...) and you're baking cookies and listening to Christmas songs and you have that lovely feeling of anticipation for the upcoming festivities.  Peaceful is the word. And it was so lovely to receive this very special gift in the mail. There were squeals and oohs and aahs galore.

This is what we found inside:

Everything was glittery and beautiful! A sweet card with sweet words outside and in. Don't you just love that red chevron pattern? Oh, and of course it was glittered. 

I love these homemade snowflake stickers! Isn't she clever?

And these gorgeous Nordic inspired gift tags! Packaged so beautifully! These are in her shop and we had already been oohing and aahing over them. They are even prettier in person. In fact, so pretty that we don't want to use them. Aimee said that she was going to write "To Aimee, Love Aimee" on them just so she could keep them. I had the same thought. :)

 And last, we found this beautiful glittery snowflake ornament which was hung on the tree before you could say "So pretty!".

It just happened to match our tree perfectly! Normally we have colored lights and a mismash of ornaments but this year we decided to try a "matchy-matchy" tree. All white lights and red, pink, white, silver and gold ornaments. Doesn't it look pretty?

I told you it was delightful! You should check out her shop and all the beautiful things she has made. I adore this Valentine's Day card! Oh and this embellished notebook! Oh and this! Ok, I love all of it. :)

Thank you so much Elissa for brightening our Christmas with your thoughtful gifts and words! You have a sweet, sweet spirit that shines though everything you do.

Cinderella, you're as lovely as your name... -- MMMM

Hello..
I'm listening to this song and wishing i was not sick and could smell all the lovely smells that i know are simply diving into my nose. *huff*.. oh well. But i am in the process of putting a magazine together.. Who knows if it will even work, or by the time its done, if you would have already long forgotten what it was i was making. but something will, perhaps, come of it. and if it does, i will most gladly share it with you. ;)

for this Monday Moments of Mere Movie Madness...i think that was only supposed to be 4 m's..
I have just fallen inlove with Cinderella.. She's so lovely!
I even found these lovely Cinderella things on etsy:
Fabulous pair of greenish shoes
Gorgeous bows...Shoe clips
Simply divine Recycled Journal
Beautimous flowery wreath

now listen to this song~

Coziness...

Tea cozy picture from Salihan Crafts

This morning I woke up with a cold. Pooky. -as my sweet nephew would say. =]
But alas, it is an excuse to do all sorts of cozy things. And since the weather has been rather gray and wet (yay!) It makes it feel even more cozy. *smiles*

Here's my favorite recipe for a cozy day...
I wake up hearing rain on our tin roof and smelling the freshness of the wet earth. I look at the clock, 9:27 am. *contented sigh*...it's Saturday. I reach for my fuzzy pink monster slippers and put on my warmest sweatshirt, then shuffle downstairs to see who else is stirring. The first person I see is my Mom, with slippers on feet and coffee in hand. She greets me with a "Good morning" and a kiss. Then our dog Jebbers, wagging his tail so hard he can hardly walk over to me to give me a 'hug' and to look up into my face and ask, "Can we go play right now!?" So, I promise him we will later. Next, it's to the kitchen for a nice hot cup of Creme de la Earl Grey sweetened with a little honey. Then I sit down in front of a cozy fire with my tea and my Bible and thank God for giving me the blessing of life, home, family and the smell of bacon frying on the stove. Without Jesus, I wouldn't be able to enjoy anything, simple or great. Then I see my sisters faces and am greeted with a great idea or an inside joke they had been thinking of all night. My Mom turns on the Little Women soundtrack and everyone feels that all is right with the world. Then we sit down to breakfast and discuss our plans for the day, hopefully they'll include a walk when the rain lets up, afternoon tea, working on items to sell at the market we'll be participating in in October and playing some music later on. Of course, these are all possible plans but nothing is really fixed for certain. We could always decide to do something entirely different... it is a Saturday after all...

I hope you are all feeling 'cozy' today, as I said, I have a cold so I will most likely spend most of the day taking vitamins and scrubbing salt on the throat and hopefully brainstorming about the Bend Indoor Markets that is coming up next weekend (Sept. 25th and 26th). We, or Pretty Wit rather, got invited to participate in it! We're so excited! We have signed up for the first weekend in October and have been working on all sorts of things to sell. Here is the link if you live in the area and would like to check it out: http://www.bendindoormarkets.com/

Have a cozy day!

Ch air

it's fun to sit on air.

but if you fall and get a bonkin',

then i suggest you get a chair. 

goodness! wouldn't you love it sit in this?? 

but of course you would need a very neat vintage dress to suit it....

 

haven't you been inlove with this dress for ages? words fail me to describe it...it's so fabulous!

but it's a lobster! and why WOULDN'T you want a lobster on your dress?

i had a thought... to embroider a lobster on a dress like this one. 

what do you think?

"What a day for a daydream," eh?
