Sick Day

Hi everyone. So I usually do a feature friday, but I'm feeling pretty under the weather right now. Instead I just wanted to do a quick thank you shout out to all my blog buddies who have been super supportive and chatty on my blog. As a novice in the blog world, I truly appreciate that. Please, if you don't already, go visit some of these wonderful people!

There are many more and I have probably inadvertently left out some wonderful people, but forgive me. Like I said, I am a bit sick and going back to bed now. Wish me luck for the weekend and hopefully I will be ready for the new week! Have a great weekend everyone and thank you again for all your support!

Wordless Wednesday – Path to Heaven

Treasury Tuesday – Flames of Sapphire

One of my vintage button rings was just featured in a cute retro treasury that celebrates sapphire, the birthstone of September.

Saturday Special

I just got something adorable in the mail today!

Jayne over at HandmadeCute held a give-away on her blog and I randomly got selected as the winner! I got the pleasure of picking out an item from her super cute shop (oooh, which one, which one do I choose?!!).
After much deliberation, I decided to go with the hot chili pepper bookmark. I feel like I just ordered it yesterday and it is here already! Got it in the mail and it's just so cute! Jayne packaged it up so nicely and had an adorable little thank you cut-out with her logo on it.

This is, by far, the nicest bookmark I've ever had. Typically, my poor but loved books have torn bits of tissue or paper towels stuck in them. Basically, whatever is in reach at the time. But now, my books will have a friend to help place a mark of memory.

I decided to place my new bookmark in a much loved girlhood classic that I haven't read for years. It is time to relive some youthful adventure!

I want to give a big thank you shout-out to Jayne for creating such a fun goodie and for letting me welcome it into my home! Can't wait to see more (makes me want a different bookmark for every book on my shelf)!

Please make sure to check out her shop! ;-)
