This Brought a Smile to my Face!


A faithful friend is the medicine of life. ~ Ecclesiasticus 6:16


Yesterday was a bad day.

And then, because God knew I needed a break from the heartache, the mailman rang my doorbell.

My package from Dolly had arrived!

Lord, the box even smelled good before I opened it!

Inside the box I found many treasures wrapped in vintage chenille trim. Pink, Pink, Pink was the theme!

It took me over half an hour to upwrap all the lovelies she had collected just for me.

I felt honored and cherished.

Dolly is so talented! Her work makes me smile! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Dolly has her own soap even! It is a luscious cherry vanilla scent!
The whole box smelled fabulous!

Vintage cupcake toppers, cherry tea, handmade cupcake sachet & a friend pillow all in PINK!
A handmade cupcake box with scripture tucked inside is my favorite item!

A sweet angel, vintage wrapping paper, and a toile "H" for my living room....

Thank you to Stephenie for such a wonderful swap idea.

I was given a new friend!

Here are some of the goodies I sent to Dolly. The pictures are of horrible quality!

A vintage Christmas tin is what I placed her items in.

A vintage storybook doll wrapped in Shabby Chic tissue paper.

Vintage FireKing jadite shell candy dish!

Vintage trims & embellishments, vintage red cherry lucite earrings, Cherry soap, vintage feather tree ornaments....Dolly was easy to shop for becasue we love so much of the same things!

The day before I found out she was to be my swap buddy I had found this gorgeous vintage jadite Fire King shell dish that had JUST been featured on Eddie Ross!

When I read that Dolly collects jadite, I knew God had handpicked her to be my swap partner!

This swap brought me a ton of joy and it was during what turned out to be one of the hardest weeks of my life. So thank you to Dolly and Stephenie! Two new friends whom I cherish!
