Joyeux Noël
From France
It was an exciting day when Magali's package arrived.
Buzz and I were heading out to run errands and we couldn't wait to see what was inside,
so we opened it right then and there.
(in our car)
Inside was a sweet
Christmas Wish
and a note about each ornament she had packed.
The house on her handmade card is Her
"Little White House"
Isn't it Lovely!
The first thing she mentioned in her card was this little wooden teddy bear.
She chose it because of it's bright red and green colors.
(because she knew that's what I liked)
":o)
Doesn't it look sweet with my "Baby" Bear!
I sure think so.
Magali said she had a hard time deciding between the
Teddy Bear Ornament and this Fabric Heart
so she got them both.
Lucky Me...Because I Like them Both!
I especially like the way the heart looks with these old ice skates.
Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!
The apple is a nod to the very first Christmas tree's in France.
Magali said, "Back then, they were decorated with real ones of course!"
I love this
BIG BRIGHT RED
Apple.
It looks so pretty!
Then there was the Candy!
She said it was typically French
but these Texans thoroughly enjoyed it.
(Especially my better half)
Thank you Magali - from Buzz
Last but not Least
Magali made this NOEL cushion for me.
She purposefully left an opening so that
I could tuck greenery inside,
and
that's exactly what I did.
As a nod to Magali
I have it displayed in my
"French"
Inspired Guest Bath.
It couldn't be More
PERFECT
My greatest gift has been getting to know You
through this

ReplyDeleteMagali did a great job with the teddy bear ornament and the pretty plaid heart, but I love the Noel pillow hanger. You displayed them delightfully. I had the pleasure of sending ornaments to Magali. I love how the ornament exchange circled around several countries.

Hello dear Geneva! I am slow at making my rounds, but getting there. The computer and I are not the best of friends. :)
ReplyDeleteYou recieved some lovely thought out gifts, just beautiful! Those candies are one of my favorites! I'm sure you did enjoy them.
Again I want to thak you for ALL of my precious gifts that you lavished me with. They are now on my tree and look just wonderful!!! I put them together on the tree in a place where I can see them from any where in the house, Love them!
I see all you ladies and your excellent photos of your gifts, and how well you write out things on your blogs, you can tell that it is not my gift. :) I would have loved to show off your gifts given to me better in the picture as they deserved it. I did not do them justice. I should have had my dear Stephanie take the pictures. Next time. :)
Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. Debbie
