LOVE THE MAIL MAN

Who wouldn't love him!!!
When the mailman delivers these beautiful
things this week I have no choice but to love him.
Just take a look at these treasures.

Thursday he brings my parcel from Andrea.
She has some great things in her shop - Vintage Bella Studio on Etsy. I
bought 2 gorgeous lace shoe bag
holders to put some of my art supplies in.

Today my wonderful giveaway prize from Sandy of The Shabby Cottage arrived.
Don't you just love this bag.


Thursday's mail delivery had this fabulous book by Barbara Jacksier in it.
Barbara's book hit the bookstores in mid July.
You can also order Barbara's book from her website Waterside Styles.
Treat yourself and buy Barbara's book. You will just love it.
Don't you just love the colours on the cover

As always Dan Mayers photos are spectacular

What a cute wreath

There is even some pink in there for all you lovers of pink.

This photo is also Barbara's Blog banner

Now here is a desk I would love to sit at.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend
