More great talent to share!

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.

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!

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!

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

P.S. Sorry that I had to restore the
"Word Verification" again.  I had spam overload!!!

A Year Ending and A New Year Beginning

With this year ending

and Christmas now behind us -

for some very joyous and for others a little sad

I thought I might share a few gifts I was given from

blogging friends

including Liz

http://www.lululizinlalaland.blogspot.com/ 

This most beautiful book of tags.

The amount of detail in each one of these

is incredible as are all of the images

she has used.

There is one for every season too.

Liz thank you so much for making these for me

you are just so kind, clever and thoughtful

and

you really are in my thoughts at the moment

dear friend!

And this most exquisite piece of artistry and creativity

from my very dear friend, Dorthe of

www.denlillelade.blogspot.com

I just have to share some of the detail in this so

that you can really appreciate the artistic talent Dorthe has.

Oh those lovely big blue eyes

with that joyful smile

looking so gorgeous!!!

And look at the tiny fingers so cleverly shaped

as well as the beautiful shoes she is wearing

and the embellishments on her dress!

There is only one word I can think of to express this gorgeous
fairy doll

and that is "Stunning"!

Thank you so much my dear sweet friend

she is so happy to be living with me now in a much

warmer climate too.

You have been just so kind and generous to me - 
 I will really treasure her!
I am so very fortunate to have you in my life!

I have a few more special items to share with you next time

but for now I just wanted you to cast your eyes

over this beauty!

Can you believe that this is just one rose stem

Just look at all of the blooms -

her name is Sally Holmes

and I can only assume the size of this gorgeous rose

is due to the most abundant rain we have been

having this Spring and Summer here

downunder.

Wishing everyone a most fulfilling New Year creating

what you love, sharing precious moments,

and remembering little acts of kindness to each

and everyone!

Love, Suzy xxx
