Monica from the gorgeous blog ~The White Bench sent me a package filled with wonderful things...all the way from her home in Italy to my home in California! Look at this beautiful sign she painted for me!!! I got teary eyed as I opened it...I was just so touched when I read the card that said she painted this just for me!
It captures so much of what I love...Martha's Vineyard, the cottage lifestyle, hydrangeas and of course my favorite color, blue! It's just so me! It's so Monica too...she's also a "blue" person! Look at the other beautiful things she sent...
some vintage postcards from Europe that I put in this jar with the nest and eggs. The blue on the girl's dress matches the eggs perfectly!
She also sent me this bottle with a gorgeous blue rose on top. I saw this on her blog and had commented on how beautiful it was!
She makes these wonderful fabric dolls and sent me one.

I know I've said this before but I'm just amazed at all the wonderful women I've met all over the world through my blog. It's so nice to know there are so many kindred spirits out there!

Beautiful gifts, Cindy! Monica's blog is lovely, as well. The first thing I noticed is that her background is very similar to yours ~ you truly are kindred spirits.
I really like your painted birdbath with the seashells displayed in it. The cottage sign is gorgeous!
