Twas a Quarter Til Five...


Twas a quarter til five,
When the mail truck arrived.
With a package in tow,
For Ms Country Wings
That you all know.


I hurried inside with my package tucked safe,
I could hardly wait, as I opened in haste.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear?
A beautiful surprise from
Ms Lynn @
Trash to Treasure Art
And then, I felt a tear.


Oh Ms Lynn,
You're a dear.


My box was crooning with carols,
It had Christmas all over.
Each little item wrapped carefully,
Such color astounded me.


Out popped this hankerchief bag,
She had Christmas all over her,
Even this little tag.
The little girl holds her holly,
Oh she made my heart Jolly.


I had a mitten,
A snowflake,
A swan
And an ornament.
Even stickers,
and vintage music
but wait...
Even Santa included.
Ho...Ho...Ho...


A mussie tussie...
All golden,
With these treasures inside.
Vintage laces
Such an assortment,
And a golden key
To treasure tight.

Yes, Merry Christmas to all...
And to All a Good Night.
Thank you Lynn for the wonderful
Treasures. I already have them in place.
I loved every single item.
Your talents both amaze and inspire me.
Hugs, hugs and more hugs.


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,

WOW! What lovely things! My computer was going so slow that I had to wait a while to see each photo. It made me so anxious, (did I spell that right?) to see everything :)

What a wonderful surprise.

Take care my friend. ((Hugs))

Oh my goodness, Sherry.. What a perfectly ADORABLE handkerchief bag, full with such an assortment of goodies! Lucky you!.. I decorated my blog just a little, for Christmas this morning, and I still have to thank Heidi for sharing her FALLING SNOW with me! It may be green and a little unseasonably warm in my neck of the woods so far, but at least I can still have snow in Blogland!... Hope you and yours had a wonderful, very Happy Thanksgiving, and that you're enjoying the weekend! ((hugs)) ~tina

You are showered with sweet gifts because you Miss Sherry are a gift to all of us.
I LOVE the idea that Lynn made a bag out of a handkerchief. I LOVE THAT!!! I could do that. I don't sew, but I think some nice big stitches with some pretty baby wool, the kind I see all the time at the thrift shops.
Love the tussle too. ALso that pretty key WOW.
Enjoy every sweet gifts you are given, because as I said... YOU DESERVE IT.
Love You
Love Me

Hi Girlfriend,

Lynn is truly an inspiration. She was my winner last year for the winter giveaway, and ever since her and I have been gabbing away and doing some swaps. You are truly fortunate to receive goodies from her, as she is extremely talented. I'm so happy you got some pretties missy. I miss you.

Hugs-n-love,
Meri
