It's arrived! A prize from Melanie - Lavender Moments and Morning Glory Cottage!

Unwrapping Lavender Moments ... Thank-you Melanie and my Mother in Law




I picked up my parcel from the post office today. A beautiful and generous prize from Melanie at New Creation Cottage. I couldn't wait until I got home, so I slit the sticky-tape with my keys and opened it then and there in the car. I am so delighted, I can't stop smiling even as I write this to you. I opened the votive candles first, then the lovely elegant lady, who I am sure is dressed so elegantly ready to ride in a carriage to afternoon tea at a friends house. After that, 2 delicious foot pampering products.
Then I had the pleasure of unwrapping: Morning Glory Cottage - the Thomas Kincade Print (that I had forgotten about) and I just sat and looked at it for the longest while, I just love his paintings, He is known as the painter of light. My photo in no way did justice to the print of his painting so I copied it from website. http://www.thomaskinkadegallery.com/search.php I have a book with some of his paintings that a friend bought me one birthday. All the while I was looking at the light dancing on the roof of the cottage in the painting, out of the bottom of my eye I could glimpse shimmering sparkles from my sequinned top. What beauty! My heart is overflowing with gratitude to Melanie from New Creation Cottage and our Heavenly Father.
The last two photos show some other lavender purple treats from my MIL. and 3 sprigs of lavender from one of my lavender bushes.
