A very special birthday present, and a special buy

As some of you know, I turned 60 last week.I had several wonderfull dayes with celebreiting and being with family and friends. I also got many wonderfull gifts, ----and among them this is one that I treasure very much. It arrived today,-all the way from Nellie -USA .

This beautifull book, an artpiece so fantastic, that she made for me ,is a present I will treasure and use every day. It is filled with empty sides for me to fill in with whatever I want, and I love it so much. I know my hands will open and close this with great joy .Thanks so very much dear Nellie.

Look at the front page-it is so beautifull,-handpainted

and with many adventures to explore.

This is the back side,

an old ledger paper

and here the first side, when opening the book

Nellie it is wonderfull.

Also this week I had a wonderfull mail from USA .

My first collage from KC Willis`s camp

As I told you, I`m so very lucky to have been able to join KC Willis Colage Camp

and at last I have finished my first collage . I chose the quote because I think she looks so angry and/or sad. The immage is from Art-e-ology ---

I took a pair of pictures of the flowers in my garden -I think this wild rose is

so very beautifull.

And then take a look at this Foxglove, I have newer seen such a rosette on top, -have any of you

seen something like it?

Hope you are all having a happy sunday,-here 8 o`clock evening it is very beautifull weather here.
All the best

A free bird, flowers in my garden -and new heart angels

I think this is a lovely old birdprint-love the nest, I hope you can use it.

And my roses started blooming, this :madame Alfred Carriere, is so very beautifull

Which I think this Caprifole is too. The color so fantastic

Here my angels are hanging under the roof in my shop

This white one is a little bit flirting I think!!

And then I made some new in a very beautifull old

and faded english cotton.

They are still 75 d.kr, or 13 dollars

plus shipping.

I hope you are all well, and wishes you a beautifull evening.
