Gifts Galore!

Last Friday I opened my mailbox, and guess what was waiting in there for me?

 A fun package!  I participated in a swap with Joli-Paquet, and my swap partner has been under the weather  with a recent surgery.  I had forgotten all about it when I got this lovely package in the mail.

This cake plate is now sitting next to my sink with two of the most beautiful cloths and a yummy candle.  I just want to savor their newness for a bit.  I will eventually use them, but it is so fun to have something new in my kitchen.  Thanks, Cathy!  I love it all!


My mom, sister, and I went for a walk Sunday afternoon.  What a beautiful day.  (Too nice to sit inside and wait for the Vikings to cream the Packers.)  I always seem to gather things along my walks.  This time, I brought home this baby.  

My mom and sis were thinking I was crazy.  (Not for the first time, nor will it be the last, I'm sure...) 

I actually had this in mind.  This enamel bucket has been kicking around my house for a couple of weeks now.  It was lonely.  The whole arrangement added just the right touch for my living room fireplace.  The best part?  It was completely free!

  3. I was at an estate sale one day and BOUGHT a pile of logs just like these to use as a decoration next to my fireplaces. No, you're not crazy :)
