Like this beautiful bouquet of Eucalyptus pods from Kay ...................
I have been trying so hard to find some of these Wintery stems full of green and white frosty pods (that last and last forever), and thought I would never ever see any in the north west. But a fabulous thing happened and Kay from 'Is this the Right Path' blog who has a florist called Martin and the Magpie sent me this gorgeous wonderful bunch of powdery pods all wrapped in Darkest rich brown tissue,the box smelling of her flower shop. I had just got in from work to a poorly husband (he has my flu) and was thrilled to see this lovely bunch.... they will look amazing with eucalyptus leaves, and red, berry's, really so festive.
THANK YOU Kay what a lovely treat xxxxx
Now my other parcel... (Adrian said it was like Christmas)now that had in it some Annie Sloane wax clear and dark to antique my paint work.......I am renovating a dolls house,using Annie Sloane Chalk paints
thought it would be nice to keep my bits and pieces in, like a cupboard but smaller of course...
Phew what an evening...best get some tea cooked before poorly husband turns grumpy xxx ha ha .........
Hope you've had a lovely day too....Happy Thanksgiving xxxxxxx

What a wonderful suprise the postman bought for you Lynn. Those pods are going to be perfect for Christmas..........and, your dolls house looks wonderful.
When our daughter was about 8, we bought her a dolls house just like yours. She is now 30 and, although she has her own flat, we have the dolls house here. I did decorate it but never painted the outside. I must now get some Annie Sloane paint !!!! XXXX
Magnifique Lynn,j'ai la même maison de poupée qui était à ma fille ,elle a aussi besoin de rénovation ,j'arrive le faire avec toi..rires..
hier j'étais dans une belle boutique où j'ai vraiment pensé à toi tout ce que tu aimes.
Amicalement ma chère Amie

What lovely surprises... I look forward to seeing how the dolls house turns out. I wish your hubby Adrian better... these winter viruses are horrid, hopefully you'll get them out of the way now and have a healthy winter! ~ Michelle xxx
That's a very special treat and your doll's house looks lovely!

Posted pods and doll houses, JOY. I CAN'T wait for the time when I can wonder around my neighborhood and city and gather interesting and beautiful fauna to photograph and create with. Look forward to seeing your finished dolls house! Have a wonderful weekend!
Hello ! thanks for visiting my little blog and your sweet comment. you know, I have never seen eucalyptus flowers or seed heads before !! I love plants and gardens and especially trees ....I would think they smell fantastic too...perfect if you have a husband with a nasty cold/flu. Have a nice weekend. Gail x
Oh, these pods are lovely!!! I look forward to hearing what you think of the Annie Sloane paints & waxes. I am thinking about painting my armoire with it.
Wishing you a lovely weekend, Lynn!

Lovely lovely Eucalyptus pods....i work in a herbalists one afternoon a week and we have eucalyptus leaves in a big jar and we all just love taking the lid of and inhaling the wonderful fresh scent....Pixie x
Oh how I love to recieve a package in the mail.:) Sometimes it can really make my day. :)
Oh what a lovely surprise Lynn, and how kind. I had a lovely parcel today too, a giveaway and it was Jane Packers book 'At Home With Flowers' from 'My Spotty Pony's' blog. Isn't that coincidental! I am about to sit down and enjoy it now. I love your idea of a doll's house cupboard. I never had one as a little girl, perhaps I should get one now? Have fun renovating it. Let's hope you and hubby are feeling better soon. Love Linda x
Oh wow Lynn how lovely of Kay to send you them,i have just looked outside and our Eucalyptus is covered in what like are going to be flowers is that what they turn into before they flower or after?
The dolls house looks just like mine it is sat waiting for my love to put me two more windows in...some day :)
Right back to my sewing x
Oh, I do love your posts,looking forward to collecting and finding treasures in nature to use at Kerjacob, this Christmas I will have my lounge.
I am so excited!
Love to you.

Hi Lynn, You received such beautiful presents! I love this sort of branches too.

Brilliant idea. Our daughter's dollhouse has been in the garage for so long. I've never been happy about it but now that she has moved out and I have taken over her room, I am going to bring it back in. She will be so surprised to see what I am gong to do with it.
what a beautiful, beautiful gift - i can just imagine the smell when u opened the package..xxx
