Beautiful Gifts From My Dear Friend~

This week I received the most beautiful gifts from my dear friend Lynn of Her Creative Spirit!


I was absolutely thrilled to be the very lucky winner of her giveaway for this gorgeous tussie mussie that she created!




The package arrived the other day and when I opened it I was completely overwhelmed by her kindness and generosity!  Not only did I find the tussie mussie, but Lynn also included such absolutely beautiful gifts as well! 



I want to show you how stunningly Lynn wrapped the tussie mussie.  Just look at this gorgeous vintage teacloth and lace & ribbon that it was wrapped in.  I just love vintage linens & lace and have been collecting for years, and I especially love vintage white work embroidery, to me it is the most beautiful of all.
Thank you so very much sweetie!





 Lynn also gifted me this beautiful white work embroidered bag that was filled with the loveliest scented potpourri and the prettiest hand crocheted pansy doily and linen and lace doily.  I think they look so beautiful placed in the tussie mussie!






I was also thrilled beyond words to find 2 of Lynn's absolutely stunning pressed and dried flower creations.  I have been loving them ever since I saw the pictures that she posted on her blog!  Lynn dear, they are more beautiful than any words can say!

  
Thank you from the bottom of my heart my dear sweet friend.  I will always treasure these beautiful gifts from you.  You have touched my heart more than you know!

Thanks so much for stopping by today ~ Wishing you all a beautiful weekend!

I'm so glad to see you have posted. I always worry when I don't hear from you for awhile. That's a lovely tussie mussie, but those pressed flower creations are simply gorgeous. And TWO to boot. How lucky for you. Have a lovely weekend, dear.

There are many words to describe the beauty of your gifts, but "exquisite" comes to mind!
