Oh Happy Day

Yes...Tuesday was a happy day for me...first the sun came out after four long days of wind and rain...second the sun brought with it some cooler temps...third I received two packages in the mail...oh how I love to get packages delivered to my doorstep! So what did I get? I started first with the box...it was a giveaway item that I won from Jan over at GRACIE'S COTTAGE...if you have never been over there, then you are missing a wonderful blog full of awesome ideas and if you go by, please tell Jan hello for me...she is soooo sweet...I promise you will love her! Oh I guess you are wondering what I WON...it was a vintage FLEABAG...okay what's a vintage fleabag you say? Well it's an authentic grain sack that has been made into a large tote...perfect for using while you are out at flea markets doing some serious shopping. You can find these and other outstanding farmhouse style items over at Jan's ETSY shop...click here to check out all her goodies. My second package was from Laura from B and B's Nest...does anybody remember my friend Laura who just sponsored a giveaway here at Coastal Charm? Laura was so sweet to send me this wonderful tube of hand cream as a thank you gift...now I would like to thank Laura...this stuff makes my hands so soft and now if I can just keep Mr.CC from wanting to hold my hand 24/7...he loves it too!  Laura also has an amazing ETSY shop full of goodies...you can click here to do some shopping at hers. Thanks ladies you made my day very special.
                                          Happy to have you
                                          come by and please
                                                come again,
                                                     Linda

                                            LOVE how it arrived!
                                  This darling flower pin will find
                                  a special place here with me and
                                  just look at that old pic that Jan
                                   used as a notecard...just way
                                                  CUTE!!!!
                                        She is HUGE...just the
                                          perfect size for that
                                         beach bag that I have
                                         been looking for...yes
                                         I'm planning on using
                                       her to carry all my stuff
                                       while I'm beachin' it!!!!
                                          
                                           I sooooo LOVE her!!!
                               The next time that I'm lucky and
                                 get to go to a great flea market,
                               you can be sure that she will come
                                            along with me!

What a pretty bag and a great surprise for you I bet! I hope you wont be mad but I totally see this as a pillow.

What a great win...that is one sweet bag!!

In between uses it would look amazing hung with some long stemmed gerbera daisy or mums popping their sweet little heads out of the top of it. :)
Blessings,
