Isn't this the prettiest colors...............................
My sweet little pin..........
Happy Anniversary..........
This is the cathedral Marion visited recently.............................
An interior picture of the cathedral......St. David's...........................Last week was a wonderful week.....I'm not gonna lie, I love presents......big or small, it doesn't matter....just something wrapped that I don't know what's inside the wrapping......
I was so excited when my husband brought in the mail one day last week and said, "you have a package from England." I was expecting one because I won Barbara's 100th posting gift....but it wasn't from Barbara......It was from Marion, Reflection of the Seasons, in Wales....
I carefully unwrapped the box and just couldn't imagine what was inside...each of the several pieces were wrapped in pretty rose printed paper.......she had sent the most beautiful dresser set, exquisite flowers decorated each lovely piece, a 'Betty' pin that I adore (thanks John), whimsical sheep coasters, a sachet of lavender, post cards of St David's Cathedral, a Tywyn book and a beautiful anniversary card......a fabulous collection in honor of our 47th anniversary......thank you dear friend Marion.....
Well, a few days later, another package.....this time it was from Barbara in Romford, England....I felt like the queen bee.....as I carefully opened the pac
kage I found the most beautiful handmade birthday cards in cheerfully colored envelopes....each one a work of art.....now my problem is parting with them.......very special people will receive these.......
maybe one even to me......Thank you both, dear sweet ladies for adding such sweet joy to my life.......my English
friends.....

It makes it so worth while to see such appreciation. Enjoy.
Interesting that your blogging friend in Wales lives in Tewyn. We had a cottage booked for 2 weeks in that very same village (and it is a very small place) 3 years ago and we had to cancel 2 weeks before due to go as Alan had a trapped nerve in his back and could not walk. A most beautiful area in the mountains.
Loved the cat by the way
Oh what beautiful surprises you received!!! Like you, I get so excited when I get a parcel in the mail! lol Marion certainly did send you some lovely items...that dresser set is just gorgeous!!! The cards from Barbara are also beautiful, I can see why you'd have a hard time parting with them!!! xox
Betty, What sweet friends you have to send you such treasures! Everything is so pretty and I know you will enjoy it.
What lovely mail to receive. Those cards are lovely; anything home made is so special because of the time, love and thought put into it.
That's what you call receiving a double portion isn't it. Everything is beautiful. I don't know the first lady but I've gotten acquainted with Barbara's blog and she does beautiful work at everything she does.
