beautiful flower...
bag full of goodness...
Japanese Kimono fabrics...
Postcards from France...
antique paperdoll...
tag...
All from the beautiful Mary Stanley, one fabulous artist!
Well to say I am delighted, grateful, excited and trying to contain myself is an understatement!
What a lovely surprise. I was like a child opening my lovely gifts from Mary.
The kimono fabrics are gorgeous and the postcards from France are so special.
The bag full of goodness has the cutest hand painted pin to wear...adorable!
I am going to have to find a unique way to use the antique paper doll...so much fun : )
Sometimes I think of letting go of my little blog because I am busy and then I realize how much I would miss all of you...
My heart is so happy...
Merci' beaucoup Mary!

DeleteHi Handstories,
ReplyDeleteSorry I did not respond sooner...I did not even realize you commented. I would LOVE to meet Julie too! She seems like such a fun, cheerful spirit and I wish she had a blog too! Maybe it is better...she is building a mystery. lol!
I have tried to find her one and only book, but none seem to be available :(
