Mail love...

I got an early birthday gift in the mail yesterday, from my friend Toni!
This is the front of the birthday card...she took this picture when she was visiting in Georgia...isn't it so serene and peaceful?

Inside the beautiful package were these lovely candlesticks!! So pretty and spring-like!
Toni explained that she rescued them from a friend's Goodwill box~She saw them and thought of me...I love hand-me-overs!!! ;-)

I immediately put together an arrangement on the kitchen table...


(Playing with Picasa photo settings)
Thanks, Toni, for your thoughtful gift!!

The same day I recieved a package from a Giveaway I'd won from Mlle Magpie...

A set of vintage French books!!


I love the aged paper and rough edges..Thanks, Zita!! ;-)

  1. Myrna amor, what lovely gifts you received! You deserve it all amor, I am the worst at posting my treasures and my gifts, but I take the worst pictures and I am afraid I won't do these lovely things justice :( Hey you should come to my casa and photograph them for me :) Besos, Rose
