Fun Filled Week

Last week was full of surprises...look at this wonderful work of art sent to me by....The Art Lady herself, the fabulous Miss Jenny. There is no way a picture can do it justice (at least not one
taken by me). It has beautiful color, a precious photograph, fabulous charms, ribbons etc. and the saying is the first part of the first line in one of the South's favorite books Gone With The Wind... "Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it." (Something Southern women learn early in life, if you think you are beautiful then so will others.)
What a precious gift and I will treasure it you can be sure. It will have a special space in my studio as soon as I finish cleaning :)
I also received another gift but I will wait a bit to share that with you...want to let the friend who sent it rest up a bit and return to her blog.
Worked as often as I could on the bathroom and the tub/shower surround is almost done..it's tiled except for a bit of the top border and is all grouted too. Have to do a bit of plumbing now, of course!
My SweetiePie came home and we had a date or two and caught up on what happened here and there...oh yes, it is soooo good to have him home!
Then, there was Queen Victoria's birthday and we went out to dinner Sunday and then she and I went shopping Monday all day and woo wee we wore ourselves out...and to think we used to be the Queens of shopping. Sigh.
That's a brief update for you and all I can say is it is hot hot hot here going to go over 100 today. I will probably just sit and sip iced tea all day like a proper Southern lady :). As I sit I am going to check out your blogs my friends and see what you all have been up to...
My wish for you: May you have a fun filled week full of surprises!
