Do you remember when I told you I won Maria's giveaway over at Dreamy Whites? Well I received my beautiful gifts this week and it was like Christmas came early...
Loving the color of the velvet ribbon! I hated to open them but of course I did...
There are two beautiful stockings and a gorgeous table runner made from antique European grain sacks! She also sent me a sweet little lavender filled sachet as well as a dried bouquet of lavender...
Thank you so much Maria!! Would you like to see where I put everything? I thought, just for the holidays, the table runner would look sweet under the tree in my Paris Hotel Suite...
Then I put the little sachet with the brown paper packages tied up with string (secretly hiding a few of their favorite things)...
I made tags out of scraps of sheet music from other projects as well as adding some sparkly snowflakes to the packages. The music side of the tag is displayed but when you turn it over...
It shows who the gift is for! My family thinks these brown paper packages tied up with string are just for show ~ hee hee! The wonderful stockings are hanging from my Santa stocking holder...
I have the lavender in my craft room with all the treasures I am collecting for my kitchen mini makeover after the holidays. Now these lovelies aren't the only thing I won from Maria ~ I also won a beautiful wreath from Wintersteen Farms! Again, Christmas came early for me...
Jim helped me hang it on the beautiful old mirror I put over Santa's entry way...
Isn't it beautiful!! It smells beautiful too! I was so excited I had to go and light my candles...
I think it is the perfect finishing touch for Santa's entry way...
Of course I had to take pictures the next day when the sun was shining...
Pretty ribbon for hanging and pine cones to save year after year...
Thank you again Maria and thank you Jeff and Kelly from Wintersteen Farms ~ your beautiful hand crafted wreath is helping me celebrate the season!
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you can visit Debra at Common Ground where she is celebrating Vintage Inspiration Friday! Have a wonderful weekend!!
