It’s always so much fun to get a package from a blog buddy.
I was blessed to win a giveaway that Carla had at The River. She knows I love handmade things and these are already some of my favorites.
I have the little crochet basket stuffed with toy animals right now and the straw flowers in a basket for my dollies to hold.
Thanks Carla for your friendship and this gift.
Another day I received a giveaway win from Carol at Art and Sand. She made me this table runner with a fun holiday message stamped on it. She did a tutorial on it HERE.
(and yes, the coffee table in my living room is BIG)
Don’t you love the little heart she included in the package?
Thanks Carol! You are so talented!
I ordered some of the cutest cards from Diane at Lydia’s Post. I love horses and she was sweet to give me an extra card and a neat bookmark too.
Her Etsy shop is HERE.
It’s a fun time of year. And it’s always fun to get surprises in the mail. Do you have a favorite Etsy shop that I need to put in my favs? I think I’ll do a post and list a bunch.

So many wonderful goodies for you Sweet Diane. You deserve them. :)
Oh, Happy Mail is always a delight expecially coming from sweet blogging friends :) Your goodies are beautiful, dear Diane, and I know you will enjoy them.
Have a lovely weekend. Hugs!
How fun to receive such happy things in your mailbox. I am reminded once again of the talent and kindness that exists in the blog world.
I am hoping that you will do a post on Etsy shops. Just yesterday I made my first Etsy purchase. I was looking for a table runner and decided that I liked the idea of finding one that was handmade opposed to "Made in China". Don't know why it's taken me so long to shop this way. I can't wait to receive my purchase. I can easily see this becoming a new way to shop.
Well, gee whiz, thanks a bunch for the mention! Glad you like the cards! Love that little embroidered heart. Too sweet!
What sweet surprises . Diane. Happy mail is always nice. My I'm So Vintage Etsy shop is packed full of vintage and antique treasures. xo Laura

How lovely!! My mother in law did dish towels like that one and I love the JoY heart. And you ladies are going to have to quit telling me about ETSY shops. Oh my, I wish I were a millionaire!!:)
Wow - you really had a good time with your mail. There is really nothing that warms a heart more than a sweet gift from a friend - whether far or near. You are going to have so much fun. Happy weekend dear friend.
Sis I think you are the luckiest blogger ever! You win so many great giveaways. I love the runner from Carol! and the cute basket from Carla! I'm finally starting to get some energy back so hoping to get lots of things done around the home for the holidays.

Hi Diane!
First of all thank you for your constant comments on my blog. The girls and I really appreciate.
Isn't happy mail the best kind of mail? The crochet basket is lovely. The message on your table runner (now I know how to say'chemin de table' in English, is a nice one. And those cards! I love them.
Keep having fun!
Hugs,
Arlette
"Happy Mail" is always fun. I actually need to do a post about some things I have received.
I am glad you like the runner and hope it gets used during the holidays.
All those ladies are so talented! Carla is wonderful and happens to be my neighbor. She is lovely.
