Lovely Laura, from Amongst The Oaks, recently held a contest, and I won the door prize. If you do not already know Laura, you must go and visit her immediately. She is a wonderful writer, and takes the most gorgeous photographs, and she's an Anglophile, like me! Scroll down through her past posts to take a wonderful virtual trip to Great Britain. Or just spend some time drooling over her beautiful home and lovely neighborhood in California. Look at this beautiful red transferware dish! Laura obviously knows me well. :)
She also sent me this gorgeous red tassel (her home is filled with tassels), and the sweet little ticking heart, stuffed with fragrant lavender. What wonderful prizes! I love them so much, Laura. Thank you!
Edited to add: OK, I'm not sure about the new header and background color. They're looking a little odd to me. Tell me what you think. Honestly. I may change it back soon, just so I can feel comfortable again. :)

ReplyDeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteOh you lucky girl!

I'm totally jealous... what a treasured gift. The back tells as much of the story as the front. You'll have to share. Dishes are a real weakness of mine. Think of all the great memories you'll have. Not just of the dish, but of the friend who shared it.
ReplyDeleteOh that plate is gorgeous! (just surfed in, love your blog!)
ReplyDeleteHi Mary,
ReplyDeleteAre you enjoying this "warmish" weather? What a lovely gift--perfect for your home!

Just so lovely dear Mary.
ReplyDeleteThey fit in at the little Red House so well!
I hope your box arrives today!! It was mailed last Tuesday and should have been there already!!
Have a sweet week...we have wind, rain and cold again. Let's hope this is Winter's last gasp!
Love,
Sue

ReplyDeleteHi Mary,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words and sending so many friendly visitors to my blog. Sorry I didn't visit sooner, I went out of town early this morning.
Hugs, Laura
Oh what pretties you have posted about today.
ReplyDeleteI love the new banner BUT I think the colour of the flowers on the cup doesn't seem to go with the rest of it.
Hope my comment doesn't offend you.

ReplyDeleteMary, I love your new header...of course I love everything you do! It's nice to change up now and then. Maybe one day I'll figure out how to "dress up" my blog, i.e. new template, different header, etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
