My mom and I had a girls afternoon out Thursday. This is our therapy! :) We are surrounded by boys, I am her only daughter, and she has five grandsons, including my two boys! We love them all dearly, but sometimes, girls just "gotta" be girls! We went to our favorite cafe and had spinach quiche, fresh baked bread, fruit, and mint iced tea. Then onto my favorite shoppe for a little retail therapy. I had looked at these two pretty plates on prior visits to the shoppe, so it was time to bring them home with me. They, along with the two vintage postcards, are in the pretty vintage colors I love (and with ROSES!) Bonus ~ when I went to pay for them, my sweet momma surprised me and bought them for me! :)

Who's the Lucky Girl? That would be me! Here is another prize I won from a fellow blogger recently!

Sweet little matchboxes that she has embellished ever~so~beautifully!

I *heart* them.....

I *adore* them.....

These are cute little tags she included!

These two have kind of a vintage beachy feel going on!

So cute! So a BIG "THANKS" to *M*!

Your kindness and generosity have blessed me. :)

I will treasure these treasures!!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!

My lucky streak continues, as I won this candle in a blog giveaway. It is mulled cider, and also came with these sweet little charm bands! Oh, and the blue mardi-gras beads! I had the purple ones already from winning a trivia game on my cruise!

Thank you, Rayna !!

It smells wonderfully, and I appreciate your kindness and generosity! (hubby says a special thank-you for the beads ;)

I Won!!
I won these lovely earrings from Jodi!
Here is a closeup of them together .... I love how they go together, yet are not exactly like one another. How fun is that?! Thanks so much, Jodi, I love them!

Pretty plate with a dried rose......

~Hope you are having a lovely week~
