Thank you Heidi and Jody !!!!

I was so surprised to find out I

won the Arcady Artisan Fragrances  

giveaway at Mom's Crafty Space!!

I had sent Heidi my information and forgot all about it.

I was surprised again when it showed up in the mail!!

Invincible is the fragrance I won and

it came in such a sweet box.

Right away I loved the little blue bow and

the hexagon shape of the bottle.

 I opened the bottle...

a heavenly aroma filled my senses.

This is how Jody describes it in her Etsy Store: 

"Third in the Literati collection, this startlingly fresh unisex fragrance is inspired by Albert Camus, who famously wrote:

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”

Taking it’s cue from this, Invincible breezes into being with a fresh invigorating impression of spring-time beaches; with pure, direct notes of sea salt, peach and sandalwood, which describe sand dunes and clean ocean air. Equally wearable for both men and women, this is a uniquely freeing scent, which refuses to be pinned down by tradition. Inspire your own rebellion!

-- Reminds me of --

Sitting on the beach in spring, with early morning bird-song and a gentle breeze stirring the air."

Al I know is it makes me feel oh sooo feminine ♥ 

 

As you can see from the above ticker The Wedding is just about here.

Thanks to Heidi and Jody I have a new fragrance to wear!!

I am Invincible!!!

Thank you ladies!!

Lovely Wedding Bouquet Ribbon

My Son's fiancee` is a crafty one...

Oh no! Not in a bad way, a very good way!!

She took photos of her Maternal Grandparents

and my Son's Maternal Grandparents (my parents)

and copied them onto ribbon.
 



She said:

 "I decided to but their photos on the ribbon that will be used

for my bouquet as a way for

them to be remembered on our Wedding Day"

Did I mention how sweet she was too?

Fun Finds!

These are so pretty.

They have velvet between the pictures and frame edge.

I didn't realize that this had real feathers until I looked closer.

I researched it and it is Mexican Feather Art.

So unique.

This little oil painting I love!

Thin velvet ribbon was added to the frame.

It makes it so quaint looking.

I thought this frame was really pretty.

In the center is a Renoir reproduction of

Two Sisters On The Terrace.
