Another gorgeus birthday gift ,from my dearest Lisa



How very blessed I feel,--- never thought all this could happen,when I startet blogging some years ago.
So many wonderfull friends, I have found in blogland, and one of the dearest
sweetest and most talentet ,is Lisa-  TARNISHED AND TATTERED-

This wonderfull friend, ,when seing I had,had birthday ,send me the most gorgeus presents,
----This was first when I opened up the big packet from USA.
One of LISA`s  beautifull egg carton , inspiration kits,
topped with an old flower,on wonderfull old wall paper, and pearls.

Here the lid,inside,with my initial,and a fantastic brooch
Uhh love old pearl brooches--how did you know ,Lisa?


Inside 3  wonderfull resin pieces-Love the new form .

and this watch  brooch -swoon- and the sweet word crystal.

lots of white.creme buttons

And wow, a gorgeus old rose and some beautifull lace,
Lisa it is not easy to find old flowers,here in DK,
so I`m totally in love with this one.

brown velvet on beautifull  made tag,and see !!!!the sweet lady gave me a dear little packet
with an -M-  metal stamp -for Mathilde  inside -
Many of you know that Mathilde is me grandchild,3years old.
I so love this ,Lisa.

and this special fabric-(I dont know what it is )
maybe old oilcloth ,with a lovely print on ,inside a sweet old photo,
and ivory bricks .I guess the butterfly  is an old hair pin,
so very sweet

This took my heart away, so cute, and wonderfúlly old,
a little doll dress,in the finest cotton-brodery englaise-
and the most darling bonnet.
I love it dearest.

See, isn`t it beautifull?

This doll ( 20 cm) made me go way back, till I was maybe 8 years old.
Back then my parents gifted me with a doll same style, but bigger,and
with moving legs--but with exatly the same sweet face, and the eyes
flickering like butterflye wings.
She is adorable Lisa, and so beautifull dressed.
Thankyou dear friend,

see her wonderfull blue eyes (yes they are, could`nt quite catch it)
and sweet little kiss-mouth.She is having an old Lilly-of-the-valey.around her arm.

Here the cute photo inside the oil-cloth

And ofcourse Lisa`s  so beautifull, and loving tag.The color cheeted me,it is realy a beautifull eggs blue,
with creme velvet flowers, and  look , what Lisa put on!! -24- my birthdate.

Lisa, I don`t have words to thank you enough .
You have a big and loving heart, and I feel so special and loved, recieving those
fantastic ,wonderfull ,and carefully shosen gifts from you,-everything something
you know I would love. AND I DO.
Thankyou my dear friend.

Our Texas girl is such a sweetie and certainly so talented! Lisa made and picked the perfect gifts for you, my dear friend. The egg carton with all the embellishments looks very yummy and I know you will create some gorgeous things with those goodies. The doll dress as well as the bonnet are both very sweet and the doll is beautifully dressed and has a cute expression. Have fun playing with all your new treasures, Sweets!

You and Lisa make a perfect pair Dorthe, such beautiful gifts !

Lisa said...

Dear sweet friend!
I am so happy & surprised the gift reached you so soon & that you enjoyed them. The oil cloth you like is actually old handwriting copied onto computer printer fabric that we can buy here at the fabric store. I wrapped you gift with it but thought you could use it in one of your collages. And don't worry about the mags, I try to copy articles I enjoy & keep them filed. It is such a great publication I wanted to share it with you. Lisa

PS I also never dreamed a little over a year ago that I'd have such a friend in Denmark. Did you know you were my first follower?
