I'm sure you all know how much talent there is
out there in blogland amongst so many
many bloggers and today
I'm going to share
some
with you again!
I know first hand how really beautiful these are because
I have been holding them and feeling all
the lovely energy that has gone into creating
these gifts.
Our special friendship now spans more than 3 years
and I count my blessings with friends like these.
Thanks to all who come to pay a visit
especially when you take the time to
leave a word or two!
Just thank you!!!♥
Love and hugs,
Suzy

I know first hand how really beautiful these are because
I have been holding them and feeling all
the lovely energy that has gone into creating
these gifts.
This first package arrived from my dearest Dorthe
of denlillelade - See how sweetly everything
is wrapped?
Many of you know Dorthe for her exquisite dollmaking
amongst many other talents in the world of mixed media.
This is such an amazing frozen Charlotte doll from
Dorthe's own collection which she has adorned
so beautifully in gorgeous vintage laces
and doilies over a netted skirt -
isn't she just precious?
and
her dress is embellished with bling, buttons,
jewellery and is wearing a sweet little love note.
Her wings are fashioned from old papers
and fabric.
and now she sits on the old treadle sewing machine on a stack
of depression glass bowels in my home for me to
admire!
admire!
How lucky can one girl be?
This beautiful bird tag also created by Dorthe
was attached to the parcel
along with this
vintage heart.
This elegant woman adorned in pearls
is surrounded in layers of frothy ruffles and pretty
laces, frills and flowers.
I did say these women were talented so now you know what I mean!
Our special friendship now spans more than 3 years
and I count my blessings with friends like these.
Now Sharon of
Livewire Jewelery fame
is another very special friend who creates
the most amazing handmade artisan jewelery
such as this piece above as well as earings
and rings etc.
I love the etching on the copper piece
and
the punched out word of "Love"
Sharon also is an extremely heartfelt mixed media artist
creating paper and fabric collages and tags
such as the one above.
Her creations are available in her Etsy shop
and the link is on her blog above.
She also knows how I adore vintage laces
and
spoiled me with these stunning pieces above
and I am so proud to be wearing your necklace!
I am so very grateful to you Sharon -
your kindness is extraordinary!
I'm joining in at Timewashed for the
Blissful Whites Wednesday with Becky this week
as well as What's it Wednesday - Ivy and Elephants.
So come on over and see more talent there too!

Enjoy, sweetie and have a great rest of the week.

Oh Suzy, you are such a loved lady to receive such gorgeous gifts!
ReplyDeleteI love them all but, my favourite is the heart that Dorthe made just for you.
I've recently started back at the charity shop as a volunteer and every time something textile comes in, can't wait to see if there's anything I can upcycle!
Enjoy your gifts (as I know you are doing anyway!).
