ilove....giveaways

I'm lucky in love. Not lucky in winning things. So when i won a giveaway from one of my favorite bloggers
Ted and Bunny i was thrilled. So yesterday  i opened my mail box and found this.

A pink package from the British Royal mail.Sent by Elaine.


Beautifully wrapped with attention for detail. I guess she rememered my new found  love for Yellow.

  
Inside were two vintage monogrammed damast napkins.I know i am an emotional fool sometimes but this brought tears to my eyes. To receive something so beautiful, packed with so much love and attention from someone you've never met, how great is that :) I know Elaine sells  the most beautiful vintage and antique things  from her website and on E bay

  
Wouldn't you love to watch Wimbledon now  in this vintage Tennis dress !

But seriously,  please check out her two blogs Ted and Bunny and Sunniestsideup ( about two chickens) and read about her life with " a horse, a cat, two chickens and us"  in the most beautiful part of the Dorset Countryside. It's British humor at it's best.
Thanks again Elaine, you made my day!

  2. Hello there daahling!

    Lucky you! ~ Congratulations on your lovely winnings; I love them!

    37 teatime posts ago a wonderful thing happened for me that I just love to share.., I began my little, 'Tuesday Tea For Two' blog party teatime in my little corner of the blogging world..,

    I am delighted to invite you to experience more 'tea tastings', so to speak, as well as to celebrate what I lovingly refer to as;'Tuesday And Wednesday Teatime In Blogland'!

    You see, I love waht I refer to as,'teatime in blogland' so much that I have three teatime memes; one is a shared one..,

    This week marks my 37th,'Tuesday Tea For Two', my 28th, 'Wednesday Tea For Me And Thee'. Also there is now a shared meme,our 9th,'Teapot And Tea Things Tuesday' that is shared with my dear friend Pam @ http://breathoffreshair-paperbutterfly.blogspot.com

    Whew!~ That's a lot of teapartying fun! I also regularly list the links and partake with as many teatimes in blogland that I can find, (and they also kindly join in the fun with me by partcipating with my Mr. Linky, links)..,

    Won't you please except my warm invitation to also join in the fun? ~ It would be a pleasure to also have you join in with the ever broadening teatime in blogland experience, and come, 'follow the tea trolley laden with goodies', as we all share yet another 'tea-lightful' cuppa and some more tea party treats galore!

    ..,Please do feel most welcome to pop by for tea anytime and also to say, 'hello'!

    Cheers and hugs from Wanda Lee
