Last week I found out that I had been chosen as winner of Marydon's Giveaway at Blushing Rose Too!! I was more than thrilled. Thursday, the packages arrived at my doorstep. So quickly. The excitement was more than I could take...I couldn't wait to open and see my prize. Hurrying indoors, I set them on the dining room table, snapped a photo of the boxes...and commenced cutting them open. And what treasures lay in store for me---
Thank you so much Marydon...your generosity and kindness is much appreciated. I will be thinking of you as I sit by the window on a cold blustery day sipping my tea from such a beautiful tea cup and munching the cookies!!

Lovely lantana - something I have not planted in my yard yet...I simply don't have any more room! You received some very lovely things in the giveaway - I am sure you will enjoy them! Hope you have a great day...always nice to visit you!
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty...what I like about them is the fact they attract birds. Their nectar, hummingbirds...their berries, mockingbirds and more.
DeleteThe flower is so pretty and the package was wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe prize was something I'll enjoy forever.
DeleteWhat beautiful flowers! I don't think we have anything like these in Ireland.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog too!
G'day Cathy!!! Glad you stopped by. And, I'm happy to know that you enjoyed the lantana images.
DeleteThe fly! The fly! no wonder the Lantana is called Chicken **** flower, even the fly likes it.

DeletePerfect combination of colors, strong hues yet cool to the eyes. I wish to see lantana soon when it gets warmer in my place. The fly must have enjoyed the flower's sweetness.
