little lucky streak

I AM IN CONSTANT AWE OF THE GENEROSITY
that runs through Blogland. There is so much sharing -- of ideas, of ourselves, of our tastes. I recently had a little lucky streak and won two giveaways. Both packages arrived within a day of each other so yesterday during a bit of quiet time I opened everything and then sat, stunned at the vision of my dining room table now covered with the most generous display of unique treasures!



The first package to arrive was from Bethany at Vintage Bluebird. I GASPed when I saw how cleverly she decorated the tin. Perfection tied in blue ribbon.



Inside the pretty package (shown at the tippy top) was one of Bethany's necklaces.



Here is the lovely flipside
How very former-DJ and Davy Jones fan of me to use "flipside" (tee hee)



Also included were bluebird-themed gifts. So adorable and cheerful -- just like Bethany's blog {you have to see the fabulous play tent she made for her daughter one afternoon}.



Next I opened my prize package from groovy mother-daughter design team Kat and Suz from Katsui Jewelry.



There were vintage pages neatly clipped with tea-stained tags ...



small pouches packed with goodies ...





greeting cards, and post cards ...



sweet soaps and bath soaks ...



wind-up dancing robots for my boys ...



and even more things for me to play with.



Thank you again to Bethany, Kat and Suz for your generosity and thoughtfulness.

I hope you'll pop over to their blogs: Vintage Bluebird and Katsui Jewelry.

Come to think of it, my 2nd blogthday is coming up. I'd better start planning a giveway myself!
{Stay tuned}
