Sharing a little birthday love!






Little might just be the wrong word to use though!!!
And yes, my birthday is the day after Christmas but
my precious friend Lisa and I are known for not being
on time for our birthday gifts to one another.

I just have to share with you
all the amazingly, wonderful goodies
she gave me!!!

Some of the photos are a little repetitive but
I know you like pics and I tried to get close ups ~

She packaged everything so sweet!!!
Each parcel had a number and on the back of each tag
Lisa wrote a little note to me...
Here is a shot before I opened the packages:





And here's after....WOW!!!!
Look at all of the precious treasures!!!!
She SO knows what I love.



All types of sweet baby shoes, a few baby dresses too.



Gorgeous antique lace and a porcelain half doll!




Antique children's photographs and old photo album pages.
Vintage rhinestone pins and postcards.



See the teeny doll shoe?? LOVE!




And yes, at the bottom of the photo below are a few very small animal skulls.
I hope that doesn't creep you out but I love the beauty of nature
(and Lisa knows it)
and will create a shadow box just to showcase them all!!!






Several pieces of the new Tim Holtz fabric, isn't it beautiful???






Wonderful feathers to use in artwork.





An amazing book about old dolls ~ I just love it!!!




And lastly, a few back issues of a magazine from the UK that I love, Daphne's Diary!!!!




Absolutely UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Dear sweet Lisa,
Thank you soooo very much for my gifts...
and for your precious friendship...
you continually inspire me to be creative ~
I love you girl!!!!


Happy Monday sweet friends and
Happy March too!!!

hugs and love,
Dawn

DEAREST LISA,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING ALL YOUR BEAUTIFUL TALENT WITH US. I have had this beautiful lace that I have cherished for many years that goes back clear to the 1800's that has been passed down in my family. However I am getting to the age in my life that I know I will not be able to use them. Perhaps you would love to have them to create more beautiful creations. Carol
