CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST

Oh..My..Word! A rather large package arrived today and look what was inside! It feels like Christmas or my birthday! Seriously!

I won the French theme giveaway from DebraK at ~the Bunnies' Bungalow~ last Saturday! Oh la la!

Wow what beautiful goodies too! There's a Bodum french press coffee maker, and Gevalia Kaffe (coffee) Paris Le Procope, named after the oldest coffee house in Paris. Oh, and there's a white ironstone cup and saucer from Homer Laughlin china, the Seville pattern. And there are two darling Paris prints which are mounted on burlap frames, some toile note cards, an Eiffel tower tag and a gorgeous red and white toile vase.

I still can't believe I won. Thank you, thank you, thank you DebraK!

If you haven't visited her blog, please do. It's warm and welcoming and so much fun to visit.

This gift looks awesome! I have many happy memories of Paris, so was very 'ooooh' and maybe 'la la' when I saw this. Love it.

I pray that your trip to Nashville to encourage your friend is a real blessing and upliftment. May God give you the right words/prayers at the right time.

I'm STILL glad you won, even if I've had time now to really absorb the fact that I didn't. lol
I hope you and your friend have a truly good time together and that you are able to bring her some happiness and peace. It would seem she needs it and I just know you're the person to help her right now.
Have a safe journey. "Talk" to you when you return.
Kari

Kat, I was surprised tonight. I did not know that Terrible Speller was your daughter-in-law (right?). I had marked her blog as one of my favorites several months ago and decided to stop over for a visit and saw your picture! I saw those adorable grandkids again too!

Oh Well! Love surprises!

Linda said...

congrats. Looks like a lot of great stuff.
I don't know if I commented on them individually but really enjoyed the photos of your family and their visit with you.
Blessings
