I need to give some thank you's to blogger friends!
When a blogging friend knows you love something crazy like Flamingo's and they take the time to send you a surprise box full of goodies...well I can't believe its taken me this long to say thank you and share these with all of you! My sweet and wonderful friend Marigene did just that back a couple of months ago.
Just look at these adorable glasses! I love them and I can't wait to use them on a special tablescape!
This little candle holder was also included
And a vintage saucer from a restaurant!
I love it!
Marigene has had a really rough time lately. Her nephew lost his life a few months ago to an undetected heart defect and just last week her sweet 90 year old Mother passed away. I am sending her much love and prayers as I type this!
I also won a giveaway from Missouri Michael who's blog Cul-de-sac Shack is so much fun!
I love this glass owl! And ladies get this....I was comment #1 and yes I won in a random drawing! See it can happen!
Thanks Michael!
Last week on JFF I showed a gravy boat I found at the thrift! My new friend Sherry sent me a matching plate she found after seeing my post!
I will use this plate with the gravy boat in a future tablescape! Sherry is a fairly new blogger so I hope you will visit her at
I'm joining Laurie for her
A Few of my Favorite things party!
Happy Junkin,
Linda

Hi Linda! I feel like I have lost to much time too and got nothing accomplished as well! LOL! Your flamingo glasses are so cute. That was really nice of her, I will keep her in my prayers. Congrats on your other goodies and win, you lucky lady!
You have some really sweet friends. I love that retro plate, somehow it looks familiar, maybe my mom had those!

Congrats Linda on winning the give away. He is a cute little owl. Your flamingo thingies are also very pretty!
Hi Linda!
What fun things Marigene sent you! She is such a fantastic friend. I know she has been having some sad times right now and my heart goes out to her.
Oh Linda that was so sweet of your friend Marigene. I'm so sorry for her losses.
That 50's plate is fab too! You are one lucky ducky! Vanna
I had a lovely tropical moment as I looked at those flamingos!
Those glasses are the cutest! Ice is melting so hopefully you can get out this week and do some serious hunting for more treasures.

Linda, those glasses and that restaurant plate are just THE cutest! And how great to get another plate in a pattern you'd already begun collecting. That owl is adorable. How nice to receive such wonderful gifts from blogger friends! It just proves that you are a very special blogging friend. Thank you for linking to Favorite Things. laurie
Have you noticed all the owl stuff around? Maybe it is because our son really likes them, but I am seeing them everywhere! I know exactly how you feel, we have missed a week of school and are out tomorrow for MLK Day. I will be glad to get back into the swing of things! Also we have used up ALL our snow days. Oh well, it was beautiful and I really loved being home with hubby, we have had some terrific times!
You certainly have made some nice friends in blogland. I wish you all the luck with little Callie. I presume from the name she is a calico like what I have just brought into our home. Do post some pictures soon so we can all see how sweet she is. If I can help with the 'introductions' let me know. Hugs, Deb=^..^=x5 &1 little calico
ahhh, the flamingos are so so cute.All the other gifts are great, too. How fun is all this!!
xo bj
What wonderful treasures! I love flamingos, even the plastic kind that you stick out in the yard. My family thinks they're tacky or I'd have some. I enjoyed my visit with you this morning!
Sherry @ A Happy Valentine
Ohhh...those flamingos are so, so cute! I'll bet you will make a super-fun tablescape with those -- can't wait to see it!
You know - I LOVE LOVE those Flamingos - you have some nice friends.

People are just so nice aren't they?! What a joy to know such wonderful ladies! :D
Hi....so glad to be back blogging and having time to catch up with everyone....watching a toddler is exhausting!!
love all your goodies that you got from fellow bloggers...aren't they just the best....I have to post about this fabulous pillow my blog buddie up in Michigan sent me for Christmas...let's do lunch soon!
i love flamingos!! great blog you have here!
Hi Linda, Re: your comment on my blog, I did not sell anything on Etsy during the several months I had things listed there. I guess for what I sell Ebay is a better store. Hope your fortune improves.
What wonderful little surprises you had last week!
You've got some pretty nice friends, I would venture to say!
Brenda

Hope you are enjoying those thrifty finds, Linda!
Well now, I came to comment on your Red and White snowflake tablescape (which is fabulous btw), but was dragged away when I saw the flamingo goodies in this post. I love them all, but that plate is a real treasure. Better hide it away if you ever hear I'm in your neck of the woods, lol
Prayers going up for Marigene. Family losses are hard no matter what the age. I will go for a visit.
Great luck on the win, love the owl. Such a sweet friend Sherry I am popping over. Hugs, Ginger
