GIVEAWAY WINNERS!!!
Congrats! to Judy C @ Black Cat Quilting (lst winner ~ Pop over & visit our new blog friend Judy C.) & Terry Geit @ Terrys Treasures (2nd winner) ... (RANDOM.ORG selected)
Rebecca ~ rebecca-gatheryeroses.blogspot.com/
sent a box of her exquisite creations. The wooden child's 4" shoe form is an antique that I had found & Rebecca gave it that special touch it needed to decorate my home. Isn't it darling?
You will see her latest card creations that are beyond description. The artwork is awesome & they each come with a duplicate smaller version of the card in a hang tag, you will see them tucked in various places throughout my home ... there is no way I'd ever give them to anyone.
You will never know the excitement & joy as each parcel was opened, to turn over & over & over just to absorb the gorgeous beauty of your blessed talent, Rebecca ... THANK YOU
from the bottom of my heart. Everyone who has come over to 'see' your creations just stands in awe, highly complimenting you. I am so fortunate that you are such a wonderful friend ...
The unpacked parcel. Woo-hoo!
A box of my Mother's that I wanted dressed in Rebecca's breathtaking hand work ... I got tears in my eyes when I saw this, Mother is smiling down.
Rebecca's breathtaking newly created cards will take your breath away! I tucked them in all over our home. Her details are beyond description, the beauty overwhelming. Each card has a smaller version hang tag tucked inside.
Such sweet beauty & elegance is depicted in her designs
This is a lavender sachet that Rebecca recently featured in her post on 'how to create'. Again, if you don't see it first hand, you cannot imagine the details, nor the work that that goes into each sachet & the awesome beauty. Little buttons, flowers, ribbons, jewels, pearls ... again, it was a very emotional box of open.
A sweet card & note from Rebecca.
The wee shoe form on our front room mantle.
The sachet gracefully adorning a vintage dish
Mother's box on my kitchen counter adding such beauty to my decor.
Rebecca's card tucked in our foyer wreath
Another card tucked into the foyer entry mirror
Rebecca's gorgeous frame that I won in her giveaway. I took one of her card hang tags & placed it into the frame ... nothing else I thought of doing looked right ... isn't it the perfect touch!
Another card tucked into my birdhouse floral bouquet in the dining room
I tucked this card in the mirror in our dining room, these cards just add such pazazz to decors!
Cherubic darling looks so lovely behind my English tea set in the dining room. It sits on my Mother's what-not shelf stand.
This mirror at the top of our staircase hall is from Harold's Mother & Dad ... the artwork brings such a warm touch as you approach from the stairs
This was hard to show because of the lighting in the dining room ... but you can still see what beauty Rebecca's artwork brings ... even in the dark.
I hope you enjoyed the wee tour of our home that now is beautifully accented with Rebecca's beauty.
Do stop by to visit her ... she is preparing to reopen her website with treasures that will take your breath away, once again.
Your home is beautiful. Rebecca does such incredible art work. Thanks for sharing.

Dear MD...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the generous writeup! I am sooo glad you love your pretties and I really do hope your Momma loves the transformation of the box that once shared her treasures.
Reopening that website of mine has been my focus for over eight months. Someone said on my comments it was like having labor pains but what will follow will be something wonderful. Bran and Steve and worked non stop. Bran is a Programmer but not a full-time web designer... Steve is an Analyst but also not a web designer so their work means all the more to me. Every single day a new way of doing something, a better, easier way, emerged. I'm so grateful for their commitment to me...
Anyway, thank you again for the Post and for being patient with me while I had my head in the sand. Your belief in me has meant more than you know.
Love to you friend~Rebecca
So many gorgeous goodies! I can see why it took your breath away~I love the way you've tucked the cards all over your house too!! Have a wonderful and sweet day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post and tribute to the gift of friendship and the artistry of Rebecca! She is a wonder and so are you my dear friend! Thank you so much for sharing these treasures from the heart!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Coralie
Hey Marydon, what a great idea for the shoe form. All the other goodies were so pretty, too. But, I wanted to thank you for the idea for the shoe = I've had one for a while now but just didn't know what to do with it...now I do :)
ReplyDeleteSweet Marydon....
ReplyDeleteAnd, no one is more deserving....YUMMY things. Isn't Rebecca an angel?
Huggies,
Spencer

Oh Marydon, every single item took my breath away! I was especially touched by the transformation of your mother's box. It turned out gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou lifted Rebecca in so many ways, I could tell so easily. As an artist, I know precisely how much that meant to her.
Marydon, you are a very special spirit, and I feel so honored that you have become my friend. Enjoy your much-deserved, and BEAUTIFUL creations, and thank you for sharing them with us.
For sure I will check Rebecca's site out. She is a true talent.
Blessings and joy, Terri

Hi Marydon, that is wonderful you got such lovely gifts. I never enter in that stuff I am always certain I won't win. I should do a giveaway myself since I make so much crafty things.
ReplyDeleteYour about me made me cry when it got to the part about not killing your kids and how you're imperfect, have strayed and from the path of God, but have restored your footings. God Bless that is awesome!
Your home is so lovely. I enjoy coming here when I get the chance. I don't get to blog as much as I would like to though but I do enjoy it so. Big hugs
What a fun giveaway! Congratulations - they all look just perfect for you!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, sweet Marydon and thank you soooo much for visting Bethany!
