Christmas in July

Yes, the calendar says it is July. However, it was like "Christmas" at my house today, as I was one of the very fortunate winners of Laurie's "Ice Cream for Two" giveaway
http://bargainhuntingwithlaurie.blogspot.com/
You know it is going to be good when you open the box and it is filled with pretty PINK packing peanuts. You are probably thinking - what is pretty about packing peanuts? 
OK ! Back to unpacking my gifts. :-D

My camera does not do these beautiful pieces justice. Every item has birds on it somewhere. Look at this beautiful wire cloche !!!! I am thinking this just may become my center piece for my dining table.
Click on any picture to enlarge.
Absolutely love the plate is sitting on ! It is even a prettier shade of green than looks in the picture.
Toile plates, bowls that are a very soft blue, and a metal box with a bird print on top - SO PRETTY!
Picture sorta blurry, but this is the painted egg inside the cloche - adorable!
An adorable glass bird ornament. It will NOT be put away for the Christmas tree, but displayed where it can be seen year round. The 2 hummingbirds are so cute. You can use them as place cards and sit them on the edge of the glass.

A mosaic of all my beautiful gifts I unpacked today.

Laurie - THANK YOU! Love it all!

  21. Glenda, I'm so glad you are enjoying your gifts. (I'm glad you didn't tell what a chore it was to get them!! Just kidding - it would have made a funny story to read -- just not funny that you had to go through all of that - especially since I live only an hour away from you - I could have driven them there more easily than you had to go through to get them!) Thank you so much for linking this to Favorite Things. Have a good weekend (supposed to be a little cooler). laurie
