Gifts and Buys

Hello Everyone :) WOW 400 followers   It is always such a joy to me that so many people follow me and a shock each time I reach another 00  Thank you all so much. As promised I want to show you the items that I bought while on holiday. But first I will share my delight with you. A couple of days after I arrived home the postman called and handed me a big package. Hmmm from who was this I asked myself .  From Greece but I wasn't expecting anything from Greece even more important it was from Anne  "littlethings "Well believe me I did not wait to take a picture of Unopened  large package sorry lol . Anna had sent me a surprise package just because wow. When I opened the package these magical beautiful gifts were inside.
One of her very special " Anna Style "cribs. Its even more beautiful in real.
It even has 2 tiny drawers under it and look what I found inside :)


Also more lovely books.

She also sent me one of her very much admired prams.

Thank you Anna from the bottom of my heart. I love your gifts and will treasure them. Anna's husband had a stroke recently but Thank God is doing well. If you don't know Anna's blog then please go and visit you wont be disappointed. 
These are the items that I bought in San Francisco  I tried to buy only what I couldn't get at home really I did try lol.

Trims I love lace and ribbons :)
Glass bottles and fimo cutters and yes transparent push pins I can not find these at home at all. 



Mirrors and even some lovely frames. Who could resist these wonderful silver shoes :D

Yes I did fit them all in my suitcase lol after leaving a pair of slippers and a nightdress behind but it was soo worth it hehe. Now all I need is to find some energy to use all this stuff :D
Thank you all for reading my posts and all the always wonderful comments.
Hugs to All My Friends

Margaret said...

Anna's gift is just beautiful and you have shopped well too, have fun!

Ruth said...

What a lovely surprise to come home to! I do follow Anna's blog and she is so generous.
It's exciting to bring back little treats from abroad isn't it?
I just had a visit with my parents this evening, they picked up some kitchen accessories at a miniatures store in Oregon, USA.
They were upset because my mom had left it in her suitcase, which is at my Dad's cousin's condo, and we were meeting for a brief dinner.
I told them not to worry! I'll go to visit my Dad's cousin and pick up my treats later. She's a lovely woman and I enjoy visiting with her. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip.
