Do you shop with Etsy? Kristen at Kristens Creations has abeautiful blog and shop full of goodies. Pay her a visit.
Here is a precious bird tassel she made recently.
It matches our master bedroom like it was custom made.
Isn't he darling hanging on the lamp?
I also ordered a necklace from her new line of jewelry piecesthat she is now making. She mailed me the bracelet as a gift.
They are heavy and have the neatest toggel clasps.

Melissa~ What a bevy of gifts. I can't think of any one else who will put that Pottery Barn Gift certificate to great use. I feel fortunate to be one of the lucky persons who gets to see what goodies you'll be getting.
Did I miss on your Valentines tablescape post...where you purchased those beautiful white cut-lace plates and bowls?
Hey, I'm serious about sending you some of the Tastefully Simple spices if you'd like to try them, just let me know. I made carne asada (for dinner) with the Simply Salsa for my kids who were home for V-Day it was a big hit.
Sweet wishes,
Sara

Lucky Lady Melissa! I would love, love, love a PB Gift Card. The crazy shopping madness would ensue would be fabulous!
Love the tassels, what a thoughtful, wonderful gift. I may ask my husband for one as well for our anniversary! :)
The necklace/bracelet set is divine, the colors are fantastic, giving you so many options on what to wear it with. I am heading over to check out her site right now.

OK....hmmm.... I still think you are wonderful even though you won MY PB gift card. Wow. You have been just rejoicing in the beauty Melissa. I'm happy Kristen won the giveaway. But I'm still a little peeved over the PB.
Oh get over it, Jenny!
Just be nice.
Say congratulations.
And mean it.
Sorry...was just having a little inner dialogue.
So CONGRATULATIONS GIRL! Can't wait to see what treasure you pick!
Have fun shopping! You deserve it for your anniversary and loosing so much weight! I still can't get over how much you've lost. I bet nothing fits!

I just saw your comment on my blog about being from PC! Can I tell you how much we LOVE it there! I went to school at Florida State so we jetted over there often. My hubs spends half his summer there fishing! In fact, we are heading in that general area (Carillon Beach) next weekend for a wedding. Hubs and I have been all over the world to beaches and I tell ya, PC still has the best! We just love it there. ... okay, done taking over the comment section now...
What great gifts you won! And congratulations to Kristen on winning your giveaway. I love your lamp and the bird hanging from it!
okay can you come make my house pretty! yours is immaculate!

Congratulations on your lovely wins. I love how you hung that tassle on the lamp... you think of things I never would. I so love coming here to view your lovely home and pick up ideas to maybe use in mine. Love the jewelry you bought..

In January, my nephew broke his leg and was in Cooks Children's hospital for six weeks and is now home but in a body cast for six more weeks. Bless his heart he is only eight years old!!! February is a busy month for us.....alot of family birthdays and Valentines!!!
I have been keeping up with you everyday and happy to know you are doing well! Love your Blog!!! Take care!!!!
