A Beautiful Surprise

I received a box in the mail today.  An exciting event in itself.  Not an every day or even every month event!

Inside was the most beautifully wrapped package.

Gorgeous ribbons.  You know, the kind that you keep and find a special use for.

010

And inside…..this precious little angel. 

011

Her beautiful wings are hinged and move when she does.  And look at her cute little lace covered bottom.

A precious gift from the sweet and generous Carole at Maynard Green House!

Thank you so much Carole for your sweet gift!  My little angel has already found the perfect new home.

She is hanging from my wall sconce on the same wall as all of my vintage religious art.  She looks absolutely PERFECT!

She insisted on staying out year round and I agreed with her completely!

016

Even the precious ribbons and bows have found a special place on the same wall!

If you have never visited Carole’s beautiful blog, click on the link above and visit her.  She has wonderful pictures and ideas and suggestions of all sorts.  She is one of my favorites, and I never miss a new post of hers.

Again Carole, thank you so so much.  When I walk by my special little gift each day, I will be reminded of your generosity and kindness.  Which makes the place that I choose to hang her all the more perfect!

Happy New Year!
