Am I lucky...

or what? It feels like Christmas has come in July. Here are some wonderful items that I just received from two friends, one old and one new. I was recently drawn as the winner of Sandy's Her Vintage Stage blog give away. Today we met up at the ever wonderful Mystic Paper, so I could receive my goodies. It was great to finally meet in person. I feel that I already know her through our blog comments and email communications. We have a lot in common, including sons with the same name. We even both have dogs named Ruby. Any dog lover is automatically a friend of mine. Check out her very cool blog. Her art work is terrific and never fails to inspire.

Sandy, it was a treat to meet you. Thanks so much for the awesome stuff. I'm looking forward to getting together again.

We all know how great is is to get mail other than bills. Imagine my surprise and delight when this arrived the other day. My non-arty friend Patti sent me this bag of ephemera and game pieces. You should see what it contains. Monopoly cards, dominoes, scrabble tiles, bingo cards, costume jewelry, buttons, oh my! There was even a small bag of vintage keys. What treasures! Patti, I'm sure you'll tell me where you found all this packaged oh so cleverly.

Many thanks again to both of you. I appreciate it more than you know.

You are welcome so much, really great to finally meet you. More fun for us to come! Can't wait to see your ATC. They truly were the begining of my art journey and remember they are addictive!

I'm so glad you met up at the store! What a fun day and I will definitely get our "girls night" planned. No stress, just fun. And a couple glasses of wine!
