Please visit Sally at Smiling Sally for Blue Monday. If you are in love with the color blue, don't miss a visit to Sally's blog today.
Hi Sally, I pray that each day you are feeling better.
You are missed so much.
I am sharing a few gifts from my trip to Canada. This is just a fraction of the many gifts we shared with the blogging friends that visited Claudie at, French Pink Poodles and Pearls,
This bottle I am sharing was a gift Claudie offered when we had a chinese auction. I picked this beautiful bottle from a table full of gifts. I fell in love with this pretty bottle at first sight.
Next is a beautiful crystal light catcher made from resin. The is the perfect gift for a bird lover like me. Especially darling bluebirds. This is just one of several gifts given to me from Wendy at, No Botox Allowed
Thank you so much Wendy.
I adore your thoughtful gift.
This bottle with the doll is a gift from Claudie. It was placed in my hotel room for me to enjoy. I will share all the gifts in my room soon. It was like walking into a lovely guestroom. Claudie you amazed us everyday.
Thank you for all you did to make our stay a memory to last a lifetime.
Love, says it all.
I am sharing a photo of Claudie and Wendy at our gift exchange. Wendy gave Claudie the darling blue lamb. Their expressions say it all.
Happy times in Canada with the sweetest blogging friends.
Happy Blue Monday
Love,
JEANNE
Hello Jeanne,
I haven't been blogging lately so I thought I would stop in and say Hi.
What cute stuff you have here. I love that first bottle!
Hugs, Ann

Today is the happiest Blue Monday ever because our Smiling Sally is home. I know you are thrilled, too.
I love all of your Blue Monday treasures today. I love seeing more of your Canada adventure photos.
Love to you.♥

Such pretty blue treasures and perfect for a day when we read the Sally is home. There is no on blue about that wonderful news. I love seeing pictures from your fun trip.
Posted by: Donnie | August 22, 2011 at 07:04 AM
So, life was not all PINK at Claudie's! :) Love the blue treasures you brought home!!
So glad you have some time to yourself for a change. I really don't know how you've kept up that pace...you are a go getter for sure!
Yes, I'm gearing up for fall sales. I only have 2 and then a Christmas one. I canceled one that I had done a few years....I'm not crazy about the promoter and think she's really ruined what used to be a great sale. I'm weeding out annoying folks in my life. Fortunately, I'm pretty lucky and don't have to be around too many! I am thinking about having a holiday boutique in Nov....if all is going OK in my life. With gr. kiddo #3 due in late Dec., I may be busy helping with grand kiddos #1 and #2. :)
I am SOOOOOOO happy that you guys will be coming to KC in May! We can do whatever your little heart desires!!! :) Maybe I'll host a luau for the girls.....what do you think? I'm seeing a hula video in the works....complete with grass skirts and leis!! :) You do know I'm not kidding........ ;)
Have a great week. L, Dana

You hit the jackpot two ways in Canada. Great friends and gifts. Canada is such a pretty place to visit. I am not sure I could handle all the company you have been having. But of course, age makes a difference.
Posted by: LaVoice | August 22, 2011 at 09:35 AM
Years ago I wrote a post questioning whether blogger friends are "real" friends...in the years since, I can honestly say that I have made some wonderful and dear "real" friends through blogging Jeanne and clearly you have too.

Morning, Dear Jeanne! Glad you've got some 'you' time today! Company is great but it's always nice to say bye byes! :)
Oh, what lovely bottles and love the pix of Claudie and Wendy. You gals must have had a ball.
So glad you liked my little chick, but no, I didn't make up the pattern. I bought a little book with it in there.
be a sweetie,
shelia ;)

Pretty blue treasures. And like the last photo too. ^_^

Hi Jeanne. It looks like you had a wonderful time in Canada. Isn't it fun to meet up with blogging friends?
I especially like your light catcher. Have a great day! La
Posted by: La | August 22, 2011 at 10:44 AM
It is so fun to see what all of us are putting on our individual blogs!!!
I really enjoy reliving those memories through you gals.
(and....It was Miss Bee who gave Claudie the lamb, I was just admiring it!)
Now that your company is gone, you'll be able to "settle" in to life once again. I think you should do the journal about your dairy farm as a young girl. It is always good to write down those memories I think.
I hope you enjoy your gifts from me...........as they were each chosen with love in mind.
big hug

Sally wrote to me to tell me she is home! I was so happy to hear that.
Your visit with your blog friends looks like so mcuh fun, Jeanne. The gifts you exchanged are all beautiful!
Hugs, Pat

Hi Jeanne,
I have visited Canada a couple times and loved it! Sounds like you had so much fun. What precious gifts. Love, love the bird sun catcher. I am a bird lover myself. The garden that your friends are in exchanging gifts looks lovely. Making blogging friends is priceless! BTW, I have a sister just one year older than me. Her name is Jeanne also.

Jeanne, I'm so glad you stopped by. I've missed you. It looks like this get-together was great fun for all of you. I loved the pictures you are sharing today. We can vicariously join in the fun. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary

Looks like you had a great meeting! Lovely blue items there!
Posted by: Anni | August 23, 2011 at 04:32 AM
You know Jeanne, I've always had YOU in mind when I made that little bottle. It was meant to be yours. Now that other bottle, well, it's just a pretty bottle : )
I do love my little lamb. Miss Bee wanted me to add it to my little lamb collection. Don't they say after you have something of three it's a collection? lol.
I have to go and check my FB account. Miss Bee has some pics of our Italian night.

Hi Jeanne my sweet friend! I love the blues. You are one well loved lady! I am going to be blessed to meet a couple bloggers in 11 days! They are traveling to Denver. I am counting them down! Then in November we are traveling to Mesa Arizona to watch our baby run in the Nike race. There are so many bloggers there I want to meet them all! You always share such treasures with us. Love to you and yours today and have a great week! Anne

What a wonderful exripeence you shared with friends old and new. Good for you. I would love to put together a time with my friends, but everyone has such busy schedules. But we really must connect, put aside the chores and such and have some girly girly fun because life is just too short to not take the time to go out in the backyard and smell the flowers even if there is doggie poo! By the way, cute hubbie. You are a very lucky woman.
Posted by: Enting | July 04, 2012 at 11:13 PM
I was thinking about you renlctey as I have to pick up supplies in Enumclaw. Everyone I see lately (so it seemed)was talking about what a beautiful time they had at your wonderful event! I get what you're saying in a big way, too. I cannot get over the nuturing sense of community in our' antique world here, and in Blogland. My 11 year old daughter has seen it, noticed it, all on her own, how nice everyone is and how we all get along (her thought). Happiness to you,

You are so adorable I LOVE YA to pieces sweet girl! HUGS! Your new Petticoat Parasol Buddy Charlene

I think you found just the right words sounds like such a wfnoerdul time. I can totally relate I am missing having that kind of time w/ girlfriends it seems lately it takes too much effort to get just three of us together for coffee. I need my girlfriends so much hopefully something will change soon. Thanks for sharing your wfnoerdul weekend and your wfnoerdul friends.

Lol, so true. Cell phones have runied society. My phone is always on vibrate so I can ignore it I am doing something else. People who answer their phone/texts in the middle of a conversation are incredibly rude.Nice animation too!
