A Pocket Full of Pretties. . .A Lovely Heart. . . My Garden Blooms




































































Hello, sweet friends, and thank you for coming by for a visit!! My friend, Ann, from "The Tin Rabbit" made the gorgeous pocket for me. It is made from a vintage suitcase pocket and covered in beautiful lace and ribbons and filled with lovely ephemera. Isn't it pretty? She also made the wonderful heart with a pocket on it to fill with pretties. They both smell heavenly, too. They are making my whole home smell so nice. She included a delicious paper rose, some delightful egg soaps, and a sweet, sweet egg topped off with posies. I love everything, Ann. Thank you so much! Ann is a Texas gal like me and sweet as can be. Please pay her a visit when you have the opportunity. You will find her here: http://thetinrabbit.blogspot.com/ The other pictures are just some things from my cottage garden. Don't you love spring? How wonderful God is to bless us with new life each year after a long winter. "Today I rejoiced in the beauty of life and love and danced with the angels". I hope you are having the happiest of weeks!! Sending love and blessings your way!

I purchased two Posey Pockets from sweet Amy at Bunny Rose Cottage some time ago and keep little notes and letters and tags and such in mine too...your gardens are so pretty, I love all of your flowers, especially the "flags" as my mama and yours used to call them... Happy Springtime to you! xoxo Julie Marie

I love this time of year when everyone can show their beautiful flowers. Your roses are gorgeous and so early. I will have to wait another month at least, before I see mine.

Vicki,
Ann’s handmade works are really very delicated and lovely. Unfortunately, I can’t smell then!
