Goodies Galore!



Hi bloggy friends!

Don't you just love getting yummy things in the mail?


Especially things wrapped like these?









YUMMY!! I just adore getting a box in the mail and finding such treats inside! It makes a girl feel downright giddy!!


The blue package contained a gorgeous journal I purchased from Alisa Jane. Isn't it so pretty? I love the antique key hole plate!!




Even the inside is pretty!! I just love it!!! You can check out her shop here!



These next yummies are from Miss Jenny of Everyday is a Holiday. I recently swapped with her and look at what all this sweetie pie sent me!!!




She sent me two of her gorgeous kits!!! Oh my gosh, they're beautiful just sitting in their packages, lol!




See what I mean? She's such an amazing artist!!!




AND....if that wasn't enough, she sent me this precious picture as well!! Aren't these little cupcake dolls just darling? SO beautiful!!! Thank you so much sweet Jenny!! :)




Next up are some more vintage goodies I'm adding to my shop!

First.....a vintage pink sewing basket!




This is the lid.....it's got beautiful shabby roses on top!




More pretty vintage china.....





These little rosebud teacups are soooooo precious!!!










This next piece is my offering for Heather's 'Junque in my Trunk' swap! It's going to the adorable Natasha Burns!




I made it to look like Marie Antoinette's own personal jewel box....I have a little fantasy going that this is the one she kept all of her favorite treasures in, lol.......










This is the inside.......






These are some goodies I've added for the 'junque' part of the swap!



Next stop....Australia!!!
