A MOST BEAUTIFUL BELATED BIRTHDAY GIFT from Texas !!



I`m sure most of you know LISA from  http://tarnishedandtattered.blogspot.dk/

Lisa is a very dear and long time friend of mine, and this wonderful friend ,send me a gorgeous birthday gift all the way from Texas !


This picture, made from nature finds, she collected in Colorado, and the sweetest old 
photo of a little girl. Isen`t it amazing,- I think it is a gorgeous gift , and even more 
special, knowing Lisa herself found it all , on her vacation.


And then this beautiful weaved purce, that Lisa made herself ,too-
and also had a workshop for,  -for  people lucky enough, to live near enough to attend.
I have so admired this gorgeous purces ,- and she so dearly 
gifted me one, and also the explanation and the frame to make one myself!!
Isen`t this lovely, with the attatched birdie image, and all the extra laces put inside !!


And then she even added a beautiful handfull of other laces too!!


Here you see the frame for weaving behind  a lovely old button card!
some gorgeous sparkling buttons ,  and a letter H...stencil.
Also a book cover frame, for me to create with and decorate , and 
behind it all you can see a gorgeous piece  of special transfer "paper" 


Close up of the sparkling buttons, the old button card -and the
H- stencil, and under here the sweetest  old photo of a darling girl,in such a lovely frame 


Dearest Lisa, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!! 
You overwhelmed me with your special and amazing art pieces and all the extra
beautiful gifts,- you are such a wonderful artist that I admire and feel blessed to be able calling my friend.

Hello dearest friend, Dorthe
You must have been absolutely thrilled over the top when you opened sweet Lisa's package!

Her nature collage is absolutely gorgeous including all those items she collected. Her woven bag too is amazing filled with so much lacey goodness and I see even more things like the lace, buttons, vintage photo and that book cover frame looks beautiful.
Wishing you love and lots of creative inspiration from these!
