Camera in hand, I carefully began the unwrap!
The first thing was this bee-you-ti-ful tag taped onto the bubble wrap.
My hands were shaking and I am not even into the package yet!
Isn't this the prettiest tag? I love it, love it!
The sweet fragrance of lavender is filling the room as I open the bubble wrap. I see some vintage lace pressed nicely into a little see through "rose tagged" bag. Oh, there's some vintage velvet ribbon and some pearl buttons. I see the sweetest vintage romantic photo printed on fabric tucked inside too.
My heart is beating faster!
Seeing through the pink tissue, I see a crochet doily. Oh my Goodness!
Do I open the pink tissue or do I go on to the pillow? I think I will just go faint!
I move on to the pillow, looking back at the doily.
As I move the pink tissue aside for a moment, I see another sweet treat that I absolutely adore.
Carefully place beneath the pink ribbon I see that Liz has worked the picture of my mom
into the sweetest collage. A hand written note is on the back of it.
~The Pillow~
Oh, I cannot tell you how pretty it is,
Nor how much the pillow means to me!
It is most truly a work of art, dear Liz
Amongst my most treasured, t'will forever be.
See the pretty detail close up. The main fabric is a gorgeous vintage demask! There are lots of laces, velvet ribbons, pretty dementional flower add ons, buttons, big and small. Beautiful big pearl buttons, I simply love them!
I am going back over the bags again...my heart is still beating, pitter patter...faster and faster!
Isn't all of this so sweet? But this is not all yet, I have the pink tissure to open, still......
On to the pink tissue with the doily. Oh, there are two doilies! Look at this dainty one!
.....and this pretty oval one. It is soo pretty!
The sweet hand written message is intertwineded among the musical notes.
Thank you Liz! Thank you so much, I am overwhelmed!

Wow. I would have been pretty happy to win that package as well. I had so much fun doing my recent giveaway, fun putting everything all together, and making it all look pretty. This is a case of it is as much fun to give as it is to receive. I wanted to stop by and say a proper hello and welcome you to my blog. It is so nice to meet new folks....
