Some Very Special "Thank-you's".......

The blessings continue....

I was very fortunate, honored, and blessed to win a WONDERFUL giveaway from Sweet Tricia of Hillcrest Home Prims.  Once she reached 400 followers (which she did in no time flat), she had a "surprise" giveaway.  And, YIPPEE, YEA!! her (also very sweet and wonderful) hubby, drew my name!!!  Tricia didn't divulge what exactly, the winner would get - although she gave a couple of hints....but if you know Tricia....and her impeccable decorating style....you just knew it was gonna be something very, very, special....
And, folks....IT WAS!!! I LOVE it!!!  A darling hand-done "1810" penny rug done up in all the colors I love best......


(Note colors in the background rug....unh huh...a perfectly, glorious, match!!) 



I truly love this Tricia!!! Thank you (and your dear hubby) so, so, very much!!! (And you're right, I'm gonna be dancing for a while!!) ;o)
If you're not familiar with Tricia, check out her wonderful blog - you'll not find many sweeter or dearer than Tricia.  She and hubby also have a wonderful on-line store, Hillcrest Home Prims where you'll find beautiful prim and colonial items - and truly reasonable prices.....

And the fun continues.....
Several weeks ago, I received an email from Renee at Recollecting the Past and nae-naesfolkart.  She said she had a "surprise" for me.  We didn't know each other all that well at that point, but she said she knew I loved Halloween and that I was cranky (OK....she didn't SAY the cranky part!) and that she was trying to find "homes" for some items....She is trying to organize some spaces, and had some items still from when she had a prim shoppe....This week, I received a box from Renee:


A really big box.....containing all sorts of fun, prim, Halloween goodies!!
(My heart kinda skips a beat at the sight of black and orange....)

Eye of Newt:

Wing of Bat:

Witchie Poo:

Wooden apples:

Awesome little ornies:

 Halloween tree for afore-mentioned ornies:
  
And my "Pumpkin' Gal" (this I actually purchased from Renee...isn't she sweet? Handmade by Renee....)

THANK YOU so much Renee!! That was so very sweet of you to think of me!!!

Happy, happy, times at the Nest.....Thank you Tricia and Renee....for blessing our nest some more!!

Hey lucky girl! Love that little pennyrug Tricia made and you certainly scored with all the Halloween goods from Renee. We were swap partners recently and she sent me some darling prim dolls and can't wait to put my witchy-poo out!!!
I'm working on Fall and Halloween and I got so excited today when I found a huge tote full of orange and black stuff! They won't be all so prim but they will be darn cute arrangements!!!
