Wonderful Gifts from Bloggers, Pt. 1

at by

I am so grateful for the friends I have met through blogging. You are all so dear to me. I hope you know that. Lately, wonderful surprises have been showing up in my mailbox and on my doorstep. I’d like to share some of them with you over the next few posts.

Look up at my header. Do you see the McCoy bird planter on the left? I have two of them in turquoise, and a smaller one in white.  I love them dearly. They may be my favorite pieces in my collection.

Yesterday I received a package from my friend Kim of Flowers and Art. Kim is enormously talented and among her talents are miniatures and dollhouses.  Imagine my surprised delight when I saw this:
Oh. my. goodness.
This chair is sitting on the dollhouse porch. Let me show you the scale:
Sorry, President Lincoln. I didn’t mean to turn you upside down! I’m delighted, amazed and so grateful that Kim took the time to make this priceless miniature. She also sent me this ornament that she created:
She used a Santa light cover, then created the giant snowball and the little snowballs in his lap and then painted his coat and cap in the perfect shade of turquoise! My favorite color. Thank you, Kim. I am blown away by your creations.
Remember my post about my love for the scent of pine? My friend Suzanne of Privet and Holly said she wanted to send me something that she thought I would like. It arrived yesterday.

Let me tell you, the scent coming from this votive is incredible. My husband said it smells better than the Frazier Fir sitting in our den! Suzanne has a friend who’s sister designed this scent for Thymes. I feel my shoulders drop just from the unlit scent of the votive. Imagine what it will be like when it’s lit! Thank you, Suzanne.

A blessing beyond measure – the warmth of friendship. More in the next post.

  4. You are one lucky lady to have so many blog friends. Your blog posts are wonderful and so are you.

    I love your coffee filter wreath.

  6. Claudia, I am glad you showed the dollhouse chair with the sweet bird to scale otherwise I would not have realized how small and intricate that creation was. Just wonderful. Ann

  8. Claudia, what beautiful gifts and friends you have! The miniature bird and ornament are amazing, and I swear I can smell the candle from here! … Donna

  10. Love your talented
    friend’s miniature
    and ornament. YES,
    absolutely “Claudia
    blue!” SO happy that
    you like the votive.
    Funny how it looks so
    big in your picture.
    But, it DOES pack a
    big candle fragrance!
    When it is lit, it will
    take you away to the
    forest : ) Big bloggy
    hugs to you, tonight!
    xx Suzanne

  11. Frazier Fir is also the one I mentioned. That candle will last for years. You really only need to burn it for a short while, blow it out, and the fragrance lingers for hours. Store it in a sealed container with your Christmas decorations and you’ll enjoy for a long while. (: Merry Christmas
