The Colors or the Sea…blue and gray and green

Another favorite quote from a movie (and book), “Sarah, Plain and Tall”. “Sarah states that her favorite colors are blue, gray and green, the colors of the sea.”

I want to start the year with a thank you post for all of the thoughtful gifts and giveaway wins that I’ve been fortunate to receive the past month or so. I appreciate each one and will treasure my pretty gifts!

My cousin, Cindy made me a scarf….the colors of the sea. Thanks sweet Cindy! I LOVE it!

Shanti from Sunshine Bliss sent me a beautiful wintry blue necklace and then when I won her giveaway, I got to choose the dream bracelet. Her charm bracelets are my favorite bracelets to wear. (I wear a couple of them together and they look great!) Her shop is HERE !

And out of the goodness of her heart, Kim from Happy @ Home sent me some Pixies! She knows I collect them and wanted to send me one. Surprise surprise…when I opened the package THREE had come to Florida to live! Thank you SO much sweet Kim! They are happy here in the lanai!

Then one day I got a package all the way from Northern Ireland!

Isn’t this Prim doll adorable? And look at the stitching in these precious tucks! They all smell sweet, too! I won this from Preferably Prim ! Thank you SO much!

Aren't friends wonderful, especially those who know your taste, and enjoy sending magic across the miles? Oh how I also love your idea of the colors of the sea. My favorites.

Thank you so much for coming to visit me and it does mean so much to me that people are enjoying my work. LET ME TELL YOU, it was NOT EASY, but well worth it after I was done!!!
