I Am In The Pink Today...


Just look at these precious little
Dutch shoes
All the way from Holland.
Yes they are!


Have you met Riet?

Not long ago Riet had a
wonderful blog giveaway.
I was SO honored to have won.
Just look at this box of goodies.


A little love card from Riet. Oh thank you Riet...


I so wanted this scarf. Isn't
it exquisite? Love the butterflies.


Riet bought this scarf at the Butterfly park.
Isn't it absolutely gorgeous? I am looking
for just the right sweater to wear it with.


A gorgeous thimble.


A butterfly magnet.


Have you ever seen such a beautiful
lavendar sachet? The scent is so
MAGNIFICENT...


Tea Anyone?
Can't wait to try this.


And if that wasn't enough?
She even included this wonderful recipe book?
Now I wonder what is waiting inside for me?
I can't wait to find something, bake it and share it.


To ring in the 2012 year...
A calendar, with sites around
and about
Holland.

A daily reminder of my Holland Blogger
Friend's Love. Thank you Sweet Riet.

Happy Pink Saturday Sweet Friends.
Thank you Sweet Beverly for being
the Hostess with the Mostess.

As always,
thank you for stopping by,
my little piece of heaven,
here in the desert,
that I so love to call home.
Country hugs and much love,

Happy Pink Saturday, Sherry! What a wonderful Giveaway you have received! Lots of goodies from across the ocean. I have that very same thimble! It came right from Holland too. {I used to collect thimbles at one time.} A generous gift from a generous lady. Thanks for sharing and enjoy!

Blessings,
Sandi

Oh Sherry what a splendid win. Everything in the box was lovely and that scarf--what can I say. It's totally your color and you could wear it so many ways. Riet seems so lovely, shes been a blogging friend of mine for awhile. Thanks for stopping by and seeing my pink flamingo friend.

HOOTIN' ANNI said...

Hello my dear Sherry!!! Well now, I am so jealous. I must say I LOVE that sweet, wonderful scarf. And I probably don't have a sweater to wear with it...but I'd sure as heck BUY one!! LOL

congrats on the prize.

Sorry I've not been around to visit like I should, but I've been keeping myself busy and not much time online other than posting a blog daily.

Hope your days have treated you well, and your 'sister' buying you a new computer...that's what sisters are for, right? That was just so caring of her!!!

Shelia said...

Hi Sherry! Oh, congratulations on your win! What lovely things too! I know Riet and she is wonderful.
Thanks for popping over to see me and I hope you're doing well.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Sherry, thanks for stopping by Riverside Studios for Pink Saturday. What a treasure box you opened! All the way from Holland? Isn't Blogland wonderful?

Sherry, Congratulations! The coolest ever gifts. I'm so happy you won a happy prize filled with such goodies. The scarf is soooo lovely, and everything is simply delightful. I don't think technology can really replace the great feeling of getting a marvelous gift or letter in the mail, do you?

Say, I read over on Connie (Living Beautifully) that you won an apron, right? How cool is that - lots of good stuff coming your way - some nice things from Riet - yes, the sachet is gorgeous. I think I have been to her blog before. I'm not doing pink ... well, I do have pink in my last post, but not connected w/PS today - just stopping by a few places and checking in. Enjoyed my visit. Great to see you again! Love, Jenn
