BEAUTIFUL BIRTHDAY GIFTS AND A GOLDEN MERMAID!


Last week, I recieved another wonderful, and so lovely birthday
gift from a very dear friend  LYNNE  , from  ADORN.

See here how she so lovely packed her gift into the most wonderful
piece of cheesecloth ,she dyed herself-I love those tones Lynne
makes herself.
And her adorable tag.



And outside another packet was this so beautiful other tag.
I love the images Lynne used, and the wonderful layers she added with laces and papers.


And this was the package!! filled with beautiful lovely laces,
and on top the most amazing brooch, she made herself
stamping lovely Portia, and adding her to laces with pearls.


Isern`t it the most lovely brooch? It fits perfectly many things in my wardrobe,
and I love it so much.


Here more of Lynne`s dyed laces and old beautiful pieces.


Maybe you wondered what was inside the great cheececloth packet!!
This sweetest wonderful bird feeder.
See the little bird so cosy in her nest of papers, and feathers,
and the house beautifully dresssed in laces and lovely music paper.


Here you see it on a pedestal in my window,where it rests now.
Thankyou my dear wonderful friend, from my heart.
I love all you so dearly created for me, Lynne, and am thankful
for our friendship.


I also wanted to show you one of the newest mermaids,whom visited me from
the golden sea, just after sunset!


You can see the sun still shines apon her face :-)


Thankyou for visiting me all dear friends, I`m so happy for all your comments, and
sweet concern for me, and my eyes.
Thankyou, -they are almost back to normal,-meaning nothing is to see and feel anymore :-)

I hope you are all having a beautiful weekend, and wisches you 
happines and joy.

Hugs and love,Dorthe

Kære Dorthe.

Rigtig fine gaver og yndig havfrue. Hun må bestemt komme fra solskin med alle de flotte gyldne farver.
Vi har haft nogle fantastiske dejlige solskinsdage, hvilket jeg har nydt i stor til. Nu er det "almindelige" sommervejr så desværre vendt tilbage og den står på regn. Men så kan man bedre få tid til indendørs-sysler.

Rigtig god søndag til dig fra mig.

Здравей скъпа Dorthe, аз продължавам да се изумявам колко много невероятни подаръци си получила за рожденият си ден. Толкова красиви и вдъхновяващи от такива талантливи приятели. И малката златна русалка е чудесна, с характерния за теб маниер на изработка.
Поздрави и прегръдки от мен.

*Pearls on a string** Dorthe said...

Jeg vil bare ønske dig en dejlig søndag, Kære Dorthe.
Var lige en tur rundt og NYDE alle de skønne sager du deler her på bloggen.
Som du ved er ord ikke det jeg har flest af; så .........!

Dear Dorthe
I apologise again that your parcel was not there for you to open on your birthday - I will do better next year!
I knew that little birdhouse and the bird had to be sent to you and it was fun to alter with lace,etc. I am glad you like the brooch, it is only 2nd time I make such a brooch and first time I send to a friend.
Your mermaid is so delightful!!!
Have a lovely week Dorthe - I will catch-up with you soon :)
Wishes
Lynne
