A Big Surprise

I'm taking a break from the mini vacation photos to show everyone the Big Surprise I had waiting for me when I got home. The parcel below was sitting on the table and from the return address, I knew it was from Pea at Pea's Corner.

When I removed the brown paper, this beautifully wrapped present was inside - a birthday gift from my dear blogging friend.

Of course I couldn't wait until today to open it, so I removed the beautiful wrapping paper and the mini carnation.

Then I opened the envelope and found this lovely card inside. I do hope you can enlarge it to read it.

The inside verse was just as lovely. I love cards of all types and this one will be added to my card collection in a day or two.

Pea packed the package really well and it was heavy. What wonders lie inside?

Lovely fall napkins. Pea knows how I love autumn and picked the perfect napkins for the season.
Lots of bubble wrap to keep this beautiful leaf dish perfectly safe on the long trip from her home to mine.
Included in the package was a fragrant pumpkin candle. It is delightful and I will be burning it throughout the autumn season. Above are all the goodies that were inside the box.

After opening the beautiful gifts from Pea, I made a nice arrangement in the entertainment unit. It will remain there until mid November when I exchange my autumn decor for Christmas decorations.

Thank you, dearest Pea. You couldn't have chosen better. I love everything and each time I pass through the living room, I see it and think of you.

Now, another surprise. Tomorrow is Pea's birthday. If you would like to see what I sent her, click on the link and visit her blog. And Pea, a very Happy early Birthday to you, my friend and Happy Thanksgiving also. Here's a little something extra for you, my friend.

I wish you a wonderful day filled with love, laughter and lots of fun. ~Blessings, Mary~
