Rosettes, Surprises, and Missing Everyone

 
Hey everyone,

I am soooo very sorry that I have been absent for a few days. I have been really sick as well as a storm blew in and living out in the country, Well that means any contact from the technically advanced world is lost.

I plan on making my rounds to catch up for the Spooky Monday blogs that were posted. ONce again so excited everyone is hopping on board with that. I just love everything that you have shown.

Now for the Rosette Swap reveal that was hosted by Jill at Gypsy Brocante.

This just happens to be the first Swap that I have ever been a part of and I was so excited.  Make sure to stop over and see all the beautiful reveals. There is just some incredibly talented souls out there.

And My partner that sent me my wonderful gift is one of these extremely talented ladies 

Thank you so much to my partner

Linda from Robin's Egg Blues

sent me the most wonderfully Beautiful Rosette Pillow.

 

I was so excted when I went to the post office and saw my box. I could not wait until I got home, and so I opened it in the car.

 

Oh my goodness. I wish you could have been there to smell the scent when I opened the box. I looked inside and the most beautifully perfect wrappeed gifts were staring me in the face. Every little tissued package had a little black bow and all I could do was stick my nose in the box. 

 

My son looked at me and asked if I was going to open the packages are sniff them all day.

Well I opened them of course and I was so excited about my pillow cover. I will have to tell you that the pictures just do not do it justice. It is incredible. I love the colors and the burlap trip just makes the rosettes stand out so beautifully.

And the rhinestone. Oh ladies. I just cannot describe it enough. Not only did I have this wonderful pillow, but the little extra goodies Linda sent me, (a string of rhinestone trim and tattered french lace.

It was like she new me all too well.

I have already used the little cards she sent the extra dainties on . Let me show you. 

 

 

I made these little rosette clips for a wedding party and I was able to use Linda's wonderful little cards to attach them to.

 

And I have a confession to make, I have been using Linda's beautiful Pillow for the backdrops on all my display pics.

It is a wonderful addition to my sewing studio and is perfect for my pictures. I also have to say that when my mother saw it,

first- she tried to take it from me

second- she told me "That lady makes really beautiful rosettes. She has got that down pat."

and

third- "I think everyone in the family would love to have one of those for Christmas. You need to make some for all the girls in the family."

UHHHHHH. There is like 20 women that would get one.

LIIINNNNNNDDDDAAAA!!!!!!! Help. :o

I think I will have to have the only Beautiful pillow for awhile. Let me enjoy it and then maybe one Christmas. Who Knows.

Thank you again to JIll for hosting the Wonderful Swap and to Linda for such a kind gift.

Once again head over to Jills blog at Gypsy Brocante to see all the beauty.

Oh Wendy how wonderful!! That rossette pillow is beautiful but I really also love the little clips you made. They look perfect on her card. And what a beautiful collection of pretties you sent out too. Love that cuff. I hope you're feeling better and all is well after the storm. I'm so glad you won the AIM giveaway!
