Don't you just love getting a package in the mail? Even though I know what's in this one, it's still a little like the excitement of opening a birthday gift, without the angst of feeling another year older. :)
So, shall we open it together? Don't you just love the little sticker? They don't put those on packages from Amazon!
Oh, what pretty wrapping! And look, some gift tags! I'll be using those soon, for Valentine's gifts. I'll save the ribbon, too. It always comes in handy.
Oh my gosh, isn't it beautiful? This lovely heart was handmade by Kathy, of Kathy's Cottage. I fell in love with it when I first saw it on her blog, and rushed over to her etsy shop to snap it up before anyone else could buy it! LOL It's embellished with some darling vintage buttons and jewelry, and a precious handmade charm.
Kathy, I love my heart! Please do stop by Kathy's shop, to see all her beautiful hearts, in an array of luscious fabrics.

Aren't her things wonderful? I got my package from Kathy recently and need to post my pictures too! I adore your red heart. It could not be more perfect for your precious home.
ReplyDeleteI actually have found a box for your little gift. I will have it in the mail before this time next week. I am ashamed that it has taken me so long to do so.
