Is this not the SWEETEST image??? (please disregard the scratched out Happy B-day. hee! hee!) This is EXACTLEY how I feel! Goody! Goody! Gum Drops! I finally won my first blog entry giveaway!!!! I’ve added my name to COUNTLESS blog giveaways, but have yet to win, until Miss Jillian emailed me saying I was the lucky winner. WHOO-HOO!!! You MUST stop by her blog and see her most recent post. OH MY! I didnt realize how much inventory she carries. She’s getting ready to do an outdoor show and her tent is AMAZING!!! Just the sweetest and most PRECIOUS handpainted furniture, plaques, dolls, you name it. Jillian is not only SUPER TALENTED but so so NICE!!! Lookie at what I won! This precious Hunny Bunny plaque. You all know Im a sucker for bunnies! PERFECT for Miss Vivi’s room.
Also inside was an extra gift! Jillian didnt want Grant to feel left out, so she made him a little something special for his room.
Jillian you are soo thoughtful and such a sweetie pie for thinking of Mister Grant. THANK YOU soooo much for our gifts! We LOVE them. ๐
So this past weekend I did a little Flea Market shopping. Not going to show all my goodies because some are for swap gifts, but I must share this adorable Enesco Kitty teapot set. $10 for the whole set. WHOO-HOO! You’ll pay ALOT more on Ebay!!!
Found the PUUURFECT spot for them in my kitchen!
Im sure MANY of you ladies are familiar with the OUT OF THIS WORLD GORGOUES Marie Antoinette International Round Robin book. The lovely Miss Holly, Natahsa, Heather, and GINNY all collaborated in this project. When I first laid eyes on the BREATHTAKING pages I fell head over heels in love. I would just LOVE to get my hands on that book and "Oooh and Aaaah" over every page! I than decided to ask sweet Ginny if she would be willing to create a Marie Antoinette collage for me. To my excitement she agreed and "TA-DA!" here is the DIVINE piece!
I LOVE every inch of detail! Breathtaking work!
She is proudly displayed above my vanity dresser in my bedroom.
Ginny and I both agree that she would have been an EXCELLENT Court Dressmaker back in that time and era. Maybe, just maybe she was one in a past life? ๐
Now I want to introduce to you Miss Georgia. She is a custom bunny box for a wonderful and super lovely Aussie friends of mine. The name was given to by my friend. This girlie little springtime bunny is catching butterflies.
She is another one that it just so hard to part with!!!!! I just know she will love her new home "down under".
Well, that’s all for the yummy eye candy today. I want to end this post with some beautiful pics outside the steps of my house. Last week and this week is the Cherry Blossom festival. It’s a HUGE annual event held here in Macon every year. The event even has a PINK mascot poodle!
We have rows and rows of blossomed Cherry Trees and azaleas in full bloom.
In about a week it will all fall and look like a blanket of snowy white. ๐ I dont DARE show you what my black turned yellow car looks like now. The beauty of the trees is well worth the pollinated cars, stuffy noses and itchy eyes. LOL!!!!
Have a FABULOUS SPRINGY filled week!!!!
