More sweet birds & a new friend!

My little house wren quilt has finally arrived at its permanent home with Marcy of Queen Marcy Originals ~ I'm so glad you like it Marcy, I love knowing that it's hanging in your home.
Thank you so very much for purchasing it!!!

I've just got to share another wonderful find with you!! Can you believe this precious bird book? It has a copyright of 1921... I believe I officially have a collection of bird books now ~ I found this one on Ebay as well, not for .99 cents but still less than ten bucks, so I'm a happy girl!!

I scanned three of the images for you to have too ~

Here are the three scanned images below,

You already know how much I enjoy blogging and meeting so many precious friends.....well, I also love to help someone else start blogging too!! I guess I want them to see what a wonderful community it is ~ the inspiration that is shared here as well as the kindness and generosity.

We have a new blogger in our midst that I would love for you to welcome....Rose at Bella Rosa has just started her blog this week!!!
She has such a sweet spirit ~
Welcome to the Land of Blog dear Rose!!!

I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday sweet friends ~

A wonderful find & a sweet gift from a friend ~

I was looking around on Ebay the other day because I just love searching for certain things and came across the most wonderful book with bird illustrations AND poetry!!

Guess the price....you're not going to believe this but.... .99 cents!!! The shipping was a couple of dollars so I was one happy girl! It's in wonderful condition and just look at a few of the illustrations inside ~
I guess it was just meant to be mine!

A special package arrived from a sweet blogging friend....Sharon of SharDon Exclusives ~ she's so sweet to me and wanted to send me a goodie box, just take a look at the treasures!!! All kinds of bits and bobs to use in my artwork, this little wrapped box held even more gifts!

She's not only an amazing jewelry designer but wonderful with paper too!! Look at the precious bookmarks, embellished crystal
and my very own nest pin!!!!
Thank you so much sweet friend, I absolutely love it ALL!!!

"Friends are the flowers in the garden of our lives."

Happy Thursday sweet friends!!!
hugs and love, Dawn
