They really spoiled their mom, as they should! My favorite gifts were books, yarn and candy! :)
ReplyDeleteYou got yarn? Awesome!
DeleteGreat presents all round Linda! What a lovely lot you have. The little fur stole and brooch for the wine is a hoot! Hope that you have lots of lovely messages left in your guest book. I'm sure that you will. Sounds as though you have had a very busy day! Lots to do. See you tomorrow! xx
ReplyDeleteIsn't that fur stole too funny!?
DeleteHad a very busy day....and...tomorrow as well...Miss V coming for the day......should be fun!
See ya!
Sweet gifts!! Love the wellies..... Mr wwh bought me a Roots Venetian Village over the shoulder messenger bag, 3 pandora charms,Iphone, pjs, another purse from Nine west.....Got spoiled as usual....
ReplyDeleteYou certainly did get spoiled, Linda.....good stuff!
DeleteThanks for stopping by tonight Linda. I love those wellies. You will wonder how you lived without them after a short time, no doubt. Your kids are good to their mom, just like mine. I was pretty spoiled, too. I collect white china and my oldest always buys me a few pieces. My son and wife gave me beautiful bird feeders and planters (how I want Spring *sigh*) and my youngest daughter added to my pandora bracelet with pretty charms, a gorgeous white shabby frame and a gift certificate to our favorite pub. The retired guy got me Downton Abby (3 seasons) and some pretty dishes. No complaints here. Love the guest book. I'm sure you will find that a treasure to have. I have a favor to ask Linda. I see you know a lot about plants and flowers and I wondered if you could do a post on the care of African Violets. I have some that were my moms and struggle to keep them nice. Thanks, Deb
ReplyDeleteYes....I think I will enjoy kicking around in them!
DeleteYou certainly got some nice things....always good when you get what you need...especially when you have started a collection!
I have done several posts on Violets....go into my search bar....
But...I will see what I can do.....but....just for you Deb♥️
Dahling...love that mink stole and diamond brooch! That is just the cutest idea. Love all your lovely gifts. I think your family did a great job. We are getting so many now...kids, grandkids, great grandkids, we chose to draw names for the adults this year. I got lovely "kitchen" stuff from my DIL who drew my name. My daughter in OR, sent perfume...I love perfume (especially floral ones) I smell sooooo good!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea,Wanda.........
DeleteIsn't that fur stole hilarious! I love it!
Perfume is an excellent gift.....I wear Clinique Aeromatic Elixir, and get compliments daily!
It smells very fresh and light....you should try it!
Oh all such wonderful gifts . Cute wellies I must say . I am glad Miss V is feeling better . My father in law hand made a beautiful wood clock for us , he and my hubs AKA (Papa) are both wood workers , I got my gripons/ cleats for my boots from Papa so I can walk in this wintery Terran as I love going for walks with my Miggs and few bits and pieces we both needed so we did good as we do every year . Thanks for sharing . Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteHandmade gifts are wonderful, Elaine......very special.....enjoy your walks with Miggs!
DeleteI love your new Wellies and the fur stole for your wine bottle. And nice iPad and cover too! I hope you make out ok blogging on your iPad. I hear it's a bit tricky so start practicing before you go away. I should figure out how to use the one we have so I don't have to take my laptop on our vacation. It would be so much lighter to carry!! ;) My favourite gift was my new DLSR from my hubby of course. One more thing to lug on the plane! LOL Great post Linda.
ReplyDeleteYou will master that new camera, before you know it!
DeleteI am going to try a post on the Ipad.....need to take. Some pics!
You should try yours, as well!
All wonderful stuff...but I really love the tiny mink! haha.
ReplyDeleteMe too! Tee hee hee!
ReplyDeleteThe boots are so you and the mink stole wine bottle wrapper is adorable! Thanks for the wonderful snack with tea - helped keep me on the straight and narrow, haha.
ReplyDeleteNo Problem, Devon.....loved having you!♥️
DeleteGood luck getting to grips with the iPad.. I'll be watching. I have a bright yellow case for mine, won't lose it in a hurry! Love the wellies too.
ReplyDeleteNow you are making me nervous, Jessica!
DeleteDo you not post from yours????
More info, please!
Going to try later today.....wish me luck!
Wonderful wellies ... are you mastering the iPad? The days are ticking by till you leave for Florida.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda - me again. I did go back and check out some of your violet posts. Very helpful. I now know that mine are not getting enough sun. I just need to find out one thing...Do you water them from the top or the bottom? I remember my mom watering them from the bottom because she never wanted to get the leaves wet. Is there something to that? Thanks again Linda.
