Angels Among Us

A little gift arrived in the mail a few days ago. My sweet friend Cheryl from Zany Mayd had been the winner of a necklace give away of mine last month, and just look what she sent me!


And you might say, "He's adorable, but he's a snowman!"
and I would say,
"Yes, He's a snowman, but just look at this!"


This little snowman just happens to have wings!
I think he must be a "snow angel".

Truly a sweet blessing;
just look at the details...


 I love the hat, the scarf, the little springs for arms, (and the flower bouquet). The yarn, the fringe. The spool of thread with a jewelry embellishment! I'm in love. I don't know if she knows that I collect "snow people", but this will be a treasured addition to the family!!








 Oh, and that crooked little smile!


I love this Bible verse.
It always makes me wonder...

Hebrews 13:2  Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels unawares.



Thank you Cheryl,

Plaid Silhouette Pillows

This Christmas it was all about plaid and toile for the Dining Room,
so I wanted to share some pillows my sister made for me for Christmas.
She knows how much I love plaid for the Holidays, and then she added
this adorable bird on a branch to just make it over the top cute!



and this wonderful crown


I used them on the end armchairs;
actually they are still there cause I'm really lovin' em.


a few more of my paperwhites are blooming in my white pottery,


and guess who had to come and hang out...



oh yeah, she's a brave one.
She's sneaking a sniff of the magical mystical burlap perfume.


Hope you're having a great Saturday,
