At the mailbox ... a little parcel ... I open it and the view inside suddenly changes to something warm, and happy and fresh and springlike ... it is a beautiful signed and numbered print entitled "Tea Time" by M. Estes Zywar of Limelightart ... I was lucky enough to win this beautiful print on her OWOH giveaway ... I know exactly where it is going ...

| so much prettier in real life!!! |
and my view just keeps getting better ... I went for dinner with my Scrapaholic girls last night and my dear friend Izzy loaded me with presents ... just because ...
 |
| What a wonderful stack of surprises!!! |
don'tcha just love these cigar boxes ... oh, i am thinking of making little gift card sets complete with stamps and a pen for Christmas prezzies ... or maybe an interactive art piece featuring spools ... or ... the view in my imagination is just spinning ...
 |
| Mona Lisa!!! how on earth did you get in there? |
and these wonderful vintage books ... they are just screaming to be made into something fun! the view in my craft area is now filled with happy visions ...
finally the view from my reading spot ... oh yeah ... also from Izzy just because ... these two gorgeous 1945 editions of Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights ... and they are filled with gorgeous art ... these will be cherished forever ...

Sounds like you day was filled with wonderful surprises!
Your day went from grey to great in no time at all! I love the print and am going over to look at the artist's site because I think that's my china pattern in the cup.
What a way to brighten your day!!! Beautiful pressies!!

Ooooooooh! I'm loving your treasures! Those cigar box graphics or beautiful, but the vintage how-to book is absolutely charming!
I adore cigar boxes! My BFA made the cutest purse out of one!!
Thanks for the nice comment on my post

I love your view! Amazing how adjusting our view is so much within our grasp. I enjoyed your comment on my blog so much, even more since I hopped over here & got to check out and enjoy your slice of the blogosphere!
Your view is looking wonderful! What great presents!! Do show us what you make with the cigar boxes!
What wonderful treasures to brighten up your day! A beautiful print and a wonderful friend to pass along a parcel of things to create with and to read! (I was so excited to read Izzy's comment on my post!) How neat that you are blogging buddies and also friends in person!
Haha cute Mona Lisa is sharing your treasures!
Blessings & Aloha!
I'm glad you rescued Mona Lisa from a possible panic attack inside that closed in box!
Cigar boxes are nifty, though, so I can totally see why she wanted to explore them more thoroughly.
What fun treasures you've received.
Thanks for letting us share your joy in them!
And thanks for linking this week to Alphabe-Thursday's letter "V".
A+
