Vicky's 3rd Annual Ornament Exchange

Vicky over at Life on Willie Mae Lane, hosted her 3rd Annual Ornament Exchange. I have had the pleasure of participating each year. It's always fun to meet new friends and see what everyone receives.

My package came super early! I was so excited to find it in the mailbox. It was from Jeanna over at Slammin' the Screen Door.  I've been just dying to share all the wonderful goodies packed in my box so let's get started:
Inside was this pretty card - isn't it cute?

Candy spoons! I can't wait for the perfect cold day to use one of these in my hot chocolate.

These beautiful mercury glass pinecones....how I love mercury glass!



Here they are laid out in a bowl:

And last but not least, a cute snowman stamp, chalkboard tags and chalk, and a very pretty monogramed bag Jeanna made me! Isn't it so sweet?


I love everything Jeanna sent me!

My exchange partner is a new friend to me - Kelly-Anne over at Beautiful Girlhood. She is over in  South Africa. Oh how I hope she gets her package in time! If you haven't met her, hop over to visit. She is the sweetest ever and you will be so blessed by her gentle spirit.

Thank you, dear Vicky, for hosting this exchange again. I look forward to it every year.

Be sure to hop over to Vicky's blog to see all the other ornaments everyone received.

  3. Such a beautiful gift package you received from Jeanna Cecilia. That Christmas card is adorable!
    Those peppermint spoons are something,I bought some and will put them with my grandsons Christmas gifts attached to the cutest hot chocolate mix.
    Oooh those pinecones are absolutely gorgeous! I love things like that, and living in a cabin they would be perfect on our tree. My oldest daughter gave me some that are similar to those and I just love them.

    Kelly-Anne is a dear sweet heart, isn't she? I look forward to her reveal spon.

    Blessings~~ Debbie

    1. Aren't those pinecones just wonderful? I didn't want to put them on the tree where I had to search for them - thus the bowl where I can see them in all their prettiness.
      That little bag will get lots of use too.
      Merry Christmas to you!

  7. Everything you received is so lovely, and I share your enthusiasm for those spoons especially. Such thoughtful treasures! I'll be paying Kelly-Anne a visit, and I see she got your package too! It's always challenging sending things overseas. A couple of weeks ago I wanted to send a small package to Canada and was told it would be $50 AND the recipient would have to pay a tariff about equal to that just to pick it up. Crazy!!

    Thank you for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment. What a wonderful idea to have a ornament exchange all over the world! My favorite of your treasures is the set of green glass pinecones. I am now following you, and like you, love meeting fellow Texas bloggers.
