BEAUTIFUL BIRTHDAY GIFTS!

I recently received a surprise in my mailbox from my sweet friend Dorthe of Den Lille Lade for my birthday! Dorthe is an amazing artist that creates mixed media pieces and has an extra special talent with sewing. I would like to share the wonderful box she sent me, and you can imagine how amazed I was! 

 Beautiful holy cards, dried roses from her garden, driftwood from her home by the Baltic Sea! (sigh!)

A bag with overflowing laces of all kinds, and an incredible hanging collage you see in the center that says dream...I love it!

 Lovely huge dried leaves! I have never seen anything like them! Beautiful fabrics and hardware for projects!!

BUT....the most gorgeous thing ever!!!..........

A stunning handmade fabric banner filled with birds and all kinds of luscious bits of buttons, laces and stitching! A true labor of love, I have never seen anything quite like it, it is just amazing and so beautiful!

Thank you Dorthe for making me feel extra special on my birthday and gifting me with these beautiful gifts that I will treasure forever! 

Thanks to everyone for stopping by and taking a look!

 

FALLING IN LOVE WITH COLOR AGAIN!

Things have been the same around here, making jewelry, a little bit of art, but now some gardening, and that makes my soul sing! I absolutely DETEST the winter, and now that we finally have sunshine, it is just so special! I love photographing the flowers......

So all of these beautiful gorgeous colors have motivated me into creating some jewelry with some color .........

I hope summertime stays forever! 

As always, thanks for visiting,  I love having you stop by!
