Sweet Surprise

I was so pleased when I found this lovely gift from fellow blogging friend and Button Floozie, Barbara, in my mailbox yesterday afternoon:

It was almost too beautiful to open, along with the handmade card! That red toile tissue paper is just to die for!  And look at the lovely lady on the tag (right -- the card on the left is Barbara's calling card, which is also too sweet!)

Inside was one of Barbara's lovely collages, which traveled all the way 'across the pond' from England!

Isn't she gorgeous?

Of course, done completely by hand by the brilliant Barbara.  See those tiny, iridescent blue green beads at the bottom?  When I woke up this morning, the sunlight was shining through them and they glowed like dew on real leaves!

Right now it's hanging in the kitchen, where I put it up yesterday to photograph it.  I'm not sure where she'll end up in my home, but I know I'll have fun finding a place for her!

I will cherish this gift of friendship from a fellow-lover of buttons, lace, and vintage goodness.  Visit her blog, Vintage Bunty -- I know you'll love it, too!  Thank you so much, Barbara!

I love your sweet gift. Personally I love getting presents in the mail any day. I just wanted to stop by and say thank you for your kind words about my new shop. I am inviting everyone to maine for a roadtrip. What could be better than summer in Maine with blueberries, lobster and the coast. Have a great day.
Love the colors used in this gorgeous collage piece! What a sweet friend to gift you with this treasure...you deserve it!
Have a wonderful creative day!
Hugs,
Coralie
