I cannot believe how often the postman is dropping packages off at my door! See the White Christmas banner above? That was a gift from Tales from an O.C. Cottage! It's so beautiful, it's small tags tied on to white tulle. I took down my Christmas decorations yesterday so this is now packed away until next year! 
I also won a chintz giveaway awhile back from Tales from an OC Cottage! Look at all the beautiful things I won! I added this chintz to my chintz (below) and I think it doubled my collection! I love chintz!!!

I also received a package from Doris from Pennsylvania (she doesn't have a blog.) She sent me this beautiful Christmas ornament with cupcakes on a tiered stand. It reminds me of my favorite tiered dish. So adorable!!!
She also sent me this refrigerator magnet made from a vintage earring. What a great idea!
Next I won a giveaway on Gollum's blog.... a Charles Faudree Interiors book! What a gorgeous book!
I also won a giveaway on Fairiebees. She made this tatted lace snowflake! Everyone who entered her giveaway won one!
That is just some of the things the mailman has brought. I still need to take photos of some of the others! Thank you all so much for these wonderful gifts!!!!

Cindy, You lucky woman winning such great give-aways! I love all that chintz and Charles Faudree is one of my alltime favorite decorators. Clever use for the old earring and I love the tiered tray with the cupcakes. And the giveaway of the tattered snowflake was really touching!
You certainly have inspired so many bloggers with your gorgeous decorating and kind heart. I wish you the Happiest of New Years! Mary

Cindy, love your blog aren't you the lucky person to receive from Doris the gorguese cupcake decoration, anyway you could put me in touch with Doris to find out where she bought it from, I have a few mad keen cupcake devotees who would die for one. Many thanks. Lesley. email address vintagerose6@hotmail.com
Happy New Year, Cindy!
Gollum
happy new year Cindy. Thank you for always being smart, creative, kind, beautiful, and inspirational. I'm looking forward to seeing what the new year has in store.
All of these people have your address? Don't you think that is a little dangerous?
Melanie
Melanie, thanks for your concern. I only give my home address to woman who have blogs that I feel like I know through email and their blogs. If they don't have a blog I have them send it to my work address.
Glad you are enjoying the chintz...and even "gladder" that it has a good home! :) And, of course I love the new look! Too pretty!
M ^..^
These are truly wonderful gifts and giveaway prizes. "Lucky" must be your middle name! If your lucky streak continues like this, I won't be at all surprised to come here one day and read you are the winner of the HGTV Dream Home! Wouldn't that be fabulous?!
Hi Cindy! What lovelies you've been receiving. The White Christmas tag word is just divine & can be used so many different places. And the chintz is wonderful. But that little tiered ornie has to be the best ~ just made for YOU!!
The Year in Review party was such fun!! I'm STILL looking at gorgeous pics!!
Happy 2009!

You have your tatted snowflake up!!! I posted mine last night, too! You have a much better picture of yours than I do of mine, LOL! I have really enjoyed visiting your blog and the comments from you on my blog in 2008 even if it was toward the end of 2008! Here's to many more to come in 2009!
Happy New Year!!!
Lucky lady♥ Those are wonderful gifts, and the best part of it all is that you display them and share with us :)
I love the the new look and especially the cottage sign you have at the top of the hutch. It looks really great. Really glad you had a great Christmas.
I really enjoyed the "Year in Review Party" and loved clicking on the different links. Found lots of great people. Will continue to follow your blog. Wishes for a great year.
