Hi everybody,
we had a wonderful day here yesterday, warm and sunny, what a great gift. So, of course I went for a walk, and enjoyed the wonderful colours of Autumn:
And last week I got a surprise package from Yvonne. I am sure I woke the neighbours up with my squeals of delight again!
This beautiful little book - which was her DT piece for TIOT - is now mine! I love little books, and especially Halloween ones, I wonder how she knew it?! You can see some of the pages here, and you can see the others on her blog if you follow the link.
Now, isn't it gorgeous?! Thanks a lot, Yvonne, it will be treasured!
And it didn't come alone - look at these beautiful fabrics - I see some wonderful Christmas projects coming on with them!
And London fabric - I think my squeals here were of the sort that can probably only be heard by bats....
I just LOVE this celebration of my home town!
And lovely lace....
And trimmings and tags:
Thanks Yvonne!
And this crazy owl card came together from various flying bits and bobs this evening while I was trying to clear up my table.
Have a great day, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
I think I guessed you liked Halloween, glad it gave you a nice surprise.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos of today's walk, could do with some of your good weather where I live. Fantastic fun owl card, they do seem to look a bit startled, wonder what gave them a fright.

Beautiful fall photos, the colors are so rich! Gorgeous goodies from Yvonne, she is so sweet to send you the beautiful book and all those goodies too! Love that owl card too! ~Diane
ReplyDeleteOh wow - you lucky lady. I too love little books and this one is so wonderful - you know, I think I heard you squeal. Or maybe that was the hog killing down the road. That's the purtiest owl I have ever seen. It doesn't look a thing like our barn owls.
ReplyDeleteI love going on your walks Valerie and I hope you continue with them even when it snows!

I am sure you heard me squeal! These owls are only to be seen here along the Rhine, near old castles....They are very shy, and it's hard to get a photo of them!
DeleteI recognize those mushrooms as our backyard was just filled with them a few weeks ago! What a nice gift you received--I see a lot of gorgeous projects in your future with those crafting goodies! The owls are adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe whole park was full of them yesterday, they appeared over night!
DeleteLove that pretty owl card, and the photos. What a great parcel you got from Yvonne, that was kind of her - have fun with the things! Hugs, Barb

And now the bits and pieces are all off my table and it is tidy - wow!
ReplyDeleteWas für tolle Geschenke du bekommen hast, Valerie! Das kleine Büchlein sieht richtig toll aus, mit viel Liebe gemacht! Auch die Stoffe und Bänder sind schön.
