I love the ‘favorites’ in my sidebar but it’s also fun to meet someone new and get to know them through their blog.
Have you visited Simple Nature Décor and met Maria?
She is a beautiful blogger. Her latest post is the wedding of her daughter and it looks like a fairytale wedding….the one every young bride dreams of.
Well….I also won her giveaway a couple of weeks ago and received a big box of goodies from her. (I know…I’m lucky AND blessed and I win amazing giveaways. Don’t hate me! lol)
Here it is by the front door ready to be ripped into!
And here’s what I saw!
Beautiful throw pillows that she made…
just my style!
I thought they would be perfect for my living room but they look fabulous in the lanai, too.
She sent a sweet card and a basket of pine cones that she painted in Spring colors.
And don’t you love these oyster shell candle holders that she created?
I’m going to use her close up photo to give you a better view.
Thank you sweet Maria for the wonderful gifts!
Time to change all of my pillows for Spring.
Do you like to change things around for the seasons?
One more quick link to Maria’s blog HERE!
Enjoy your day!

Everything is gorgeous, but the pillows are my favorite, maybe the pinecones, maybe the shells,...lol.

What a great big box of delights! You blessed gal...have you bought your lottery ticket yet?
Yes, I love my sidebar friends, yet so many have gone missing through the years. Sometimes, I start doing the numbers and it gets so depressing that I must quit. I wish I had more energy for new friends and I love that you do!
Oh those linens...oh those prices...looking forward to seeing what you'll create!
Congratulations! That's quite a prize! How fun! And, those pillows look like a great match for your home. :-)
Lucky you Diane! Those pillows are so cute and the oyster shell candle holders are fun. I hope you have a nice day. Pam
Gorgeous pillows. It's always great to find new blogs, although it takes more time. But then some favorites disappear and that's sad. Love the oyster shell candle holders, too.
Hi Diane, congrats on your win. Those pillows are wonderful and the colors perfect for you inside or out.
Love the candle holders too and the painted pinecones are lovely.
Wishing you a wonderful day.

The oyster shell candle holders are very pretty and unique. Jess would love those, as she loves the ocean so much. What a nice gift from your blog friend. Yes, it's nice to meet new friends, isn't it?
