I HAVE LONG WANTED TO SHOW YOU SOME BEAUTIFUL SPRING GIFT

CAN YOU TELL HOW BEAUTIFUL PACKED THEY WERE?
those wonderful spring gifts from my dear friend Julia Vintage with Laces


I think they are very elegant in their old ledger pages,and the brown seambindings.


This beautiful heart was inside one of the packages,I so love Julia`s handmade flower-


And the most romantic and stunning needle book -see the embroidered pearls-

and inside a pocket, and pages for needles.. Isen`t the tag beautiful,also?


Here the second heart , on the bag of the needle book. All pure beauty.


The  card so gorgeous ,and sweet- I love it all, dear Julia, THANKYOU sweet friend so much- it was a very beautiful gift ,and I adore all your creations, 
*****************

At the same time Julia send off the gifts to me, I had also made her a a little something to tell her :
"happy mooving"

A collage using lots of laces and lovely old pieces-


and an angel to travel with her to the new adress.


The cord is old golden cord,-not easy to see here- and I used a button from Abby`s wonderful collection


Well I think this enough for today, 

Being here I want to welcome new followers, to my blog- I feel so flattered you want to visit now and then.

And to all of you I wish  a happy day or evening... take care of each other, and be well.
Hugs and love
Dorthe

Julia has sent you some very gorgeous gifts. Everything here is so "Julia" - with all the lace beauty you could imagine and so beautifully created - the needlebook is so elegant and stunning and love her special lace hearts, tag and card so nicely wrapped in ledger paper with brown seam binding.
Your rose collage to her is equally beautiful and I am your white angel decorated with aged gold braid will bring her lots of joy and good luck for her new home. She will be delighted with your gift!
