I recently discovered that I had Won the Give Away on
Vintage Amethyst's Blog.
This is something that I had not expected when I started Blogging.
And this is what makes Blogging Special.....
I knew what the gift was.
But that did not make it any less exciting as I opened the parcels.
First I opened this beautiful Rose Garland.
Then the Lovely Tin Tea Light Heart.
Which I put to use straight away!
I put a Prices Chef's ' Basil, Patchouli & Geranium tea light inside.
Then set about deciding where to display the Rose Garland.
No, not on this Storm Light.
Er...No,
Not on this mirror.
It does look so pretty but this mirror is a bit too big.
Perfect.
My black mirror contrasts well with the Ivory Roses.
The little Rose's and Rose Bud's are so delicate.
Ivory or cream Rose's are my favourite.

Thank you Alison so very much I am thrilled with my gorgeous gifts.
This evening it is cold and damp.
My heating is turned off and I do not want to put it back on!
This is when I get to use All of my Crochet Throws!
I knew they would come in handy.
Have a lovely weekend Bloggers.

What lovely gifts, so beautifully placed and photographed! I also enjoyed your comment about the crochet throws - here in southern France we only have a log fire to keep us warm, so last night we were sunggled up under a friend-made patchwork quilt to watch TV!

I love the way the roses look on that black mirror, looks gorgeous! I have one of those garlands in pink but I think both are equally lovely. The tealight holder is great too.

WOW, what a lovely haul Carol. Well done you and the garland looks amazing over that mirror x
Hi , I am a long time lurker and now have my own blog so wanted to say hi. I love your blog. Your home looks lovely and full of love. I also love the music on your playlist. You are really lucky to receive such a special gift.
Well done Carol - what a nice contrast the rose garland makes with the deep colored wood of the mirror:) I love the tea light too....so nice to share special blogging moments:)
Congratulations Carol! This giveaway was made for you, and the garland was made for the ebony mirror. All blends in with your home beautifully. x
I've tried to send you an e-mail but for some reason it keeps getting returned ?
Hi Carol
They were certainly really nice gifts Alison gave away. They both look great where you have put them. The garland does look nice contrasting with the darker wood. So... lucky you! (My heating was back on last night).
