I won, I won!

I'm so happy I won the giveaway from Suzan at Simply Vintageous!  I spent days standing by the mailbox and asking the mail lady, "Is it here, is it here?".  She says I'm like a kid on a long car trip.

Yesterday, it was here!  Inside the package was a lovely linen towel with a French, Napoleonic bee emblem, a luxe Candice Olsen notepad and a silver tea caddy spoon. ~


If ever a prize was made for a specific home, this is it.  It has French, it has silver, it has a tea accessory and it has black and white.  You must admit it needed to find it's way to this room! ~


The very best part of winning is the excuse to introduce you to my friend Suzan! ~


She's funny and witty and warm and serious and she makes wonderful things like this ~


I asked her to include that dresser in the package.  It must be coming in a separate post.

Don't tell her long suffering husband, John, that she shares their hilarious conversations about the joys of living with a blogger.  Read this and tell me if you don't want to check it out! ~

On my using decorative branches in the bathroom

After hearing a bellow from the bathroom - followed by mild cursing.........................
Suzan says - " are you ok in there? "
John says - " I think you're trying to kill me "
Suzan says -" I thought you were in the shower?"
John says - " that's not the problem - it's coming out of the shower that's the problem "
Suzan says - " well I didn't do anything wrong this time - I was in the living room "
John says - " I'VE JUST BEEN IMPALED BY A BLOODY TREE "
John says - " who puts branches right in the path of stepping out of a shower?"
John says - " You're getting dangerous "
John says - " yeah go on, laugh ( mimicking a squeaky feminine laugth )
John says - " Now run and tell your blogger friends what I just said - quick Suzan - run.
Suzan says - " OH PLEASE, I don't tell them every single thing you know...................

Thanks Suzy!  I'm waiting by the mail box for the Anne Of Green Gables dresser!

  2. Wow Maureen - I think I'm going to send you a present every week just to get a write up like that, I'm close to tears - really!!!
    So happy everything "fits" lol - but that is NOT a tea caddy spoon - it's a nut spoon - to keep people's filthy hands out of the nuts ( you NUT ) LOL
    And you received it a day earlier than Canada Post said it would arrive!
    YAY
    So so happy it was you that won! ( not nice to say that, is it? ) but it's true, none the less.
    John says he's sending you the branches from the bathroom!!! Because you were on his side about the house LMAO!!!!

  5. Maureen- When I first met Suzyq I thought that we were married to the same man-but then I looked at the picture and realized he was only similar in looks...but so much alike in character. We have those conversations, too. The difference is MyHero would never say Bloody!;>)

    I LOVE your win- I love you and I love that crazy SuzyQ, too! xo Diana
