Most that know me, know that Saturday is the day when the Hubbikins, the Chazman and I go on our treasure hunts. Today was the perfect day to hunt too....beautiful blue skies and temps that reached the high 70's. OMGOSH.....the flip flops came out of the closet and placed upon my feet....owwww weeee they felt so good. Ohh yessss they did!!! Of course, most know that my "treasure hunts" are actually when we go to yard sales and estate sales. The saying is true "One man's junk is another man's treasure" and today proved it. We found two conch shells (ohh yes..the muse starting singing LOUDLY.....her sweet mermaid song) One of them medium size and one of them is HUGE....HUMONGOUS....ENORMOUS....ok ok I think ya get the picture. ^_^ Actually with the HUGE...HUMONGOUS....ENORMOUS (I like how those words rolllll off my tongue..hehe) one, I see several mermaids. We also found two bags stuffed full of yarns....I mean really nice bags...not the paper or plastic ones...the bags alone were a very nice find and the yarns were awesome too.
My greatest treasure today though.....was discovered in my mailbox. While we were out and about the mailman delivered a package and I imagine that he was very "thankful" that I was not inside the house. If you follow my posts then you know that I get "VERY EXCITED" and I do mean
VERY excited when I see him pulling up to our box. My treasure was the lovely gift I received from one of my visits in the OWOH journey. (again...thank you thank you thank you Lisa for the amazing adventure this year) It was from Marsha over at
Sassy Mini Dolls. I won two of her beautiful Lavender sachets. They smell delightful...really...they do!!! The Chazman keeps picking them up and holding them to his nose and taking a deep breath and saying "AHHH".
She sent them wrapped in a beautiful tissue paper that I will of course be using too....it's just to pretty not to find a use for it. (My muse is gently whispering ideas already) A very "French" thank you note was placed atop the tissue wrapped gifts tied off with a silk black ribbon. (my muse has ideas for that too ^_^) I love my gifts and to Marsha I have to say a HUGE..HUMONGOUS...ENORMOUS....
MERCI!!!
I hope that you will go and visit with Marsha. She is an amazing artist and her blog is such fun to wander through. I know that I will be going to visit with her. I'm so thankful that the OWOH journey lead me to her and her work. AND it's not winning the gift that makes me say that...it's the fact that she is someone that makes you feel as though you are friends right from the start and that is a gift that will keep on giving!!!
Until next time......
.HUGE..HUMONGOUS...ENORMOUS...HUGS, Regi
