A Lovely Surprise


Many, many thanks to sweet Dena, at Swaddle Cottage, for giving me the Friendly Site Award. I'm truly honored, because Dena is such a lovely person, and always leaves the most wonderful comments for me! It's so easy to be a friendly site when you have such friendly readers.



I have been totally overwhelmed by the wonderful people I've met here in blogland -- sweet, and kind, and generous to a fault! I'd like to pass this award on to Rosie, at Rosie's Whimsy, for her kind and generous comments, and her welcoming blog. If you haven't already visited, please go over and meet her -- you'll be glad you did!










Before I go, I just wanted to share this pretty plate with you. As some of you know, I love milk glass, and find quite a bit of it at thrift stores. I've never seen a painted piece before, but I love the fresh flowers, and the pierced, basketweave edge. And it was only $3., so I couldn't resist. Besides, it just makes me smile!

  2. Good Morning Mary!
    Both awards are well deserved, you are a sweetheart and so is Rosie! Congrats! :) I wanted to thank you for inspiring me to decorate my home alittle more. Put more of 'me' into it. The milk plate is lovely! Weaving and flowers? I don't think I have ever seen milk glass painted before either..
    Have a lovely day!

  13. So very deserved dear friend :) I am dying over that plate! I had a bowl with the same weave design that belonged to an elderly neighbor. When her family took her to live with them, it was given to me. Sadly, I accidentally broke it during the summer :( Hold on to that piece tight!

    Hugs,
    Dena
