Yesterday I received a parcel from our journal friend Cindy in America. Her journal is Cindy's Life.
I am going to show you what was inside. They have transformed our lounge which absolutely glows now with colour especially on a bright Autumn day like this. On darker days they will give an extra lift.
Yes, two beautiful garlands of Autumn leaves which we have twined together as one and the beautiful assortment of Autumn coloured flowers which I have put in the fireplace. Here is another photo of them.
I adore bright colours and these stand out the minute you walk into the room. I am going to endeavour to get some autumnal floral candle rings. The ones you can see on my mantlepiece do fit in colourwise but they are actually spring flowers - Primroses
However, that was not all that was in the parcel. Cindy also sent me these:-
They are just beautiful and I love them. Believe me, I shall be saying some special prayers on these. Things are always more meaningful when they are sent or given with love - love is the greatest of all the emotions we have. Where would we be without it?
There was yet something else in the parcel. Something that cannot be used right away but will definitely be used and cherished at the right time. A wonderful assortment of Christmas flowers.
Cindy, my friend, I cannot thank you enough. This was a truly wonderful package to receive. I really value our friendship and this is not the first kindness you have shown me. The yellow roses you sent for the bedroom are still sitting there bringing sunshine into the room. I am sending my love and thanks to you for all to see. God bless you.
Wishing you all, dear friends and readers, a peaceful and happy weekend.

Beautiful silk flowers and that wreath if just gorgeous. I have lots of silk poinsettias...I used to buy the real ones and it was so sad when they dropped their leaves and died. My silk ones stay perfect all thru the holiday season. I actually have silk flowers for all seasons. I have a big white pitcher & bowl (like what was used 100 years ago for washing up) that holds the silk arrangements for all seasons. Right now it holds some silk blue hydrangeas. Linda in Washington state
The colours of autumn are the best, and I love the silk flowers. Real ones are nice, but they last such a short time

Beautiful! I love the fall colors. I really do miss the changing of the seasons being here in Central Florida. Right now we don't have the time or the money to travel north for the fall foliage. Oh, well. I've fallen behind in keeping up with the journals. It's been such a hectic week. I hope all goes well for you. Blessings, Linda
That was so sweet of her to send you such lovely gifts. Your fireplace looks lovely. It made me take a look at mine...I really need to brighten it up! LOL!
Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.
