Gifts for You My Friends & Beautiful Gifts Received

Hi my dear friends...it has been a while, and I have missed you!  I have some gifts for you, however, Blogger has changed their viewing format for images.  I am so disappointed about this.  What you can do though, is click on the image you like, then when you get to the new page, right click on the image. When you see the menu, left click on "View Image".  Then you will be able to enlarge the images to save.  I have also been adding my images to my Flickr Photostream, here is the link

http://www.flickr.com/photos/carolannesboutique/
 the link is also in my sidebar.  So far I have added the children and the French Ephemera and will continue to add more.  :)

I hope you enjoy these!

This is a Vintage French Advertising Card for my favorite treat, Chocolate!

Here is the back of the card.
This is a 1924 French Receipt.  I did a translation online and what I could gather was that this receipt is for Rolls of Wallpaper with Silk Velvet Impressions.  How Lovely! :)

This is a 1908 French Letter.  I believe this letter is in regards to All Articles for Hairdressers.

I also thought you might like to have some of my Vintage Calling Cards. :)





I wanted to share with you these beautiful gifts I received over the summer! 

My dearest and sweetest friend Jann of A Vintage Heart sent me the most gorgeous card and ATC that she created!! 

Aren't they Absolutely Stunning?  I just Love the card and ATC so very much!! Jann is such a Very Talented and Gifted Artist!!

This is just the Sweetest & Most Precious Little Fairy...I absolutely Adore her!!  Please enlarge the pictures so you can enjoy all of the gorgeous details that are always in Jann's  stunning creations!


I thank you from the bottom of my heart Jann, not only for your kindness and thoughtfulness but for the sweet and precious friend that you are to me! I will treasure these gifts...
Love You Always Girlfriend!!

I hope you will stop by Jann's lovely blog and say hello.  I know you will love her as much as I do!


I also received another gorgeous gift from my dear & sweet friends Jill of Feathers and Flight and Lemay of  Leaping Frog DesignsThey also have a lovely blog together Junkin Gypsies and a fabulous Etsy Shop with some of the most stunning treasures!  I just Love shopping at their store! :)
A while back the Junkin Gypsies had a fantastic giveaway, the Exquisite Belle Tresor.  I didn't win but these lovely ladies sent me such a gorgeous present anyway...
Just look at these wonderful art supplies!! 


Everything was nestled so prettily in this lovely collaged box!


I also received one of Lemay's handcrafted Ephemera Books! 


Jill & Lemay even included some ephemera in the envelopes and I have enjoyed filling it up with more! :)


Here are 2 sweet little bottles filled with the loveliest buttons and pink porcelain roses and also a jar of mica flakes!


The Prettiest Seam Binding...


 A coordinated envelope filled with Beautiful Mother of Pearl Buttons, Coins and a Fantastic Clock Face!


And what could be in this Pretty Doily tied with Seam Binding and a Beautiful Vintage Pin?


What a surprise to find these Beautiful Vintage Pearls!


Jill and Lemay, how can I ever thank you enough for so many gorgeous treasures...I Love Everything So Very Much!!  You both have touched my heart more than you will ever know and I thank you both from the bottom of my heart!!  You are such Sweethearts, Love You Both!!


 My friends, I want to apologize for not being around to visit all of you as often as I would like to.  This is where I have been since the beginning of the year... 
 Working full time at my son Jeff's screen printing shop! 

There is Jeff on the other side of the press. :)


Here he is printing shirts! :)
Here are stacks of shirts with the backs printed ready to be printed on the fronts.
All of our inks...


And here is little "old" me where I stack and package the shirts after they come off of the dryer, you can see one coming down the conveyor belt! :)



Thank you so much for stopping by today and for always leaving your lovely comments...they mean more to me than you know!
Back again soon my dear friends as I have lots more to share with you! 
Have a Beautiful Day!
Love & Hugs~
