I love to receive packages!!

Last month I was a WINNER!!

VERBENA COTTAGE

had an awesome giveaway

and I was the lucky winner.

The winning gift was an array of lovely items

from Mary Ann's beautiful shop

or a $100.00 gift certificate.

I chose the gift certificate 

and my selections arrived today!

Bob started opening the package before

I could get my camera, I was preparing meatloaf

and didn't need to touch a camera.

 I did get shots 
before we unpacked 
the inner boxes

and I was squealing like a little girl.

You see in this box was...

THIS!

Wait guys, we're not finished just yet!

WAS THIS!
I received the large lantern. Bob really liked the lantern but he wasn't sure what one would with the milk bottles. He'll see.

It was late in the afternoon so nothing happened
with these pretties today.

I think this lantern qualifies as a cloche, 
Terrarium or centerpiece. The possibilities are endless.

This will be in the center of the kitchen table tomorrow.
The dishes in the background were not in the package.
They were left there from a previous occasion.
They are Homer Laughlin. Liberty shape, 
Dogwood pattern, discontinued in the 1950's.

I am looking forward to using 
these beautiful Gifts. 
You will seeing these again
very soon.
