Good Morning. Happy Sunday.
Our week end has turned so cold. We went from 80 in the week to 49 today. Crazy weather. I guess Fall is here to stay.
I know I have said this before but it is so true you meet and find the most wonderful people in blogland. It feels like such a small world sometimes.
I have been so blessed with so many wonderful blogland friendships. I received a couple of sweet gifts to share with you and also to send big hugs and thank you's to the special people that gifted me.

I think a lot of you know Judy from 20 North Ora. I love her Etsy shop and all her beautiful creations. Judy just put Herbie the Owl up for adoption last week and the minute I saw him I felt I needed to adopt him. I am usually not a big owl fan but Herbie stole my heart.
I love all the sweet fabrics Judy used to create this special owl. Thank you Judy. XXOO

 |
| Judy gifted me this cute runner in with my owl. Does she know me or what. I love this runner Judy thank you XXXXOOOO! |
 |
| Love the polka dots and the cute ruffle. So perfect for my dining room table. Judy you are just the sweetest thank you. |
 |
| I received a package from Carol from Art and Sand this week too. She made me a pretty Love banner for the old vintage door hanging in my bedroom. |
 |
| Carol knows me so well. All the bling she added to this banner is so me. Carol I love this and love you for making it special for me. |
 |
| Love Carol's sweet attention to details. This was the cute little bag she made to put the banner in to send. Toooooo cute. Thank you Carol. XXOO |
 |
| A lot of you know that Susan from Must Love Junk came into Chicago for a little R&R and she spent a couple of days with me. We had a junkin good time. Excuse the hair on me it was windy this day we took the pictures. I will show you this week more of the junkin good time we had together. Susan gifted me with a few lovely treasures when she came in to stay. |
 |
| These sweet spools with bling. I put them on my candle stick holders. So sweet. |
 |
| Susan gave me this beautiful french saying plaque. "You are the Love of My Life" I love this with my two love birds in my bedroom. Just perfect! |
 |
Susan also gave me some sweet scented candles from her shop Home Sweet Home. Ohhhhh how wonderful vanilla and pumpkin smell together.
So I will have another post up in a few days on Susan and her hubby Keith's stay with us this past week end.
Have a great rest of the week end.

The sweetest friends and lovely, lovely gifts! I'm looking forward to reading about your time together w/ Susan & Keith!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy one, Kris!

Kris, our time together went too fast!! :( I'm still reeling from the whirlwind of activity-lol!
ReplyDeleteLove your goodies from Judy and Carol :)
Susan
Kris, You know you are loved. Those are the most wonderful gifts. You girls look very pretty to be going junking. LOL I loved seeing this post. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteKris, People gift you with things because you are one of the dearest people I have ever met. Your love for people just shines through to say nothing of your generous heart. My son said the other day (he, too, is a giver). "Mom, it is amazing-the more I give away the more I get back. It's kind of weird how that happens".
ReplyDeleteYou are just beautiful inside and out and that shines through. No matter what you are going through you have something positive or kind to say. And....um...the sign......Does Susan's husband know that "YOU ARE THE LOVE OF HER LIFE"......Just curious! lol xo Diana
Bloggers are some of the kindest and most generous people in this world! How sweet! and what great gifts!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy xox
Kris,
ReplyDeleteI totally second Diana's comment. I know first hand the love and kindness you share from your heart. All your gifts and purchase of Herbie are delightfully perfect for you. Herbie's fabric is gorgeous looks like damask, now not only is he adorable but also a sophisticated Owl.
I too love polka dots, black and white polka dots appear on tops, scarfs, eyeglass case you name it. The runner is a very sweet gift in perfect colors with your whites and naturals. Now sweet Carol is one of life's blessings and a very generous talented woman. Yup she knows you Kris and the banner is beautifully made. So happy you had a fun weekend with Susan and Keith, looking forward to your junkiń post of time spent together. Who would think vanilla and pumpkin? Bet it smells yummy, love her unique weekend gifts to you.
Same thing in Philadelphia from 80's to 50's today. Fall has finally made a crisp appearance.
Wonderful weekend fun wishes to you!
XOXO,
Vera
You girls look beautiful! I know you had an amazing time together.
ReplyDeleteI have a post coming up about this same topic....the generosity in blogland is astounding. :)
So glad you liked your gift and Herbie has a new home. I'll be making more but none exactly alike. Yours is an original! You are an original - so kind and supportive of everyone around you. Thank you for the sweet influence you have had on me.
ReplyDeleteLove ya,
Judy

Oh Kris, your gifts are so very lovely for a very lovely lady. I liked you the minute I met you in blogland.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you and Susan had a terrific junking experience. What a great picture of the two of you.
What I wouldn't give for your weather and you can have our 102 weather, I am SICK OF IT! Feel like summer all over again.
Stop by my last post, there are some angel wings I know you would love. Have a great week.

You are so sweet which is why we all want to gift you things.
ReplyDeleteI love where you put the LOVE banner and I am glad you like it.
I am behind on reading because it has been in the high 90s this week and I just don't want to spend any time cooped up in the house. We have been spending a lot of time just reading on the beach and playing in the water.
Very sweet, I think blog friends are so fun and have become very important in my life. :-)
ReplyDeleteI also love the photo of you and Susan.
Shop Till You Drop :-)

ReplyDeleteKris, your "nice" comes across the bloglines and blogger friends can't help but want to share their creations with you!! Your new gifts fit perfectly in your beautiful home and I know you'll cherish them.
