Today’s THE DAY ! !
Came home and there it was ! !  
A package from
Lyn!
I won her giveaway and have been anticipating the arrival of her package.
Here’s what I found

brim full of goodies.

Lyn’s note card shows picturesque scenes from her part of the country.
Really, a lovely looking area.
Lyn Giveaway So Many Surprizes
Oh, where do I begin ? ? ? ?
Which goodie should be first?
hmmmm -  -  -  -

so many to choose from

Okay, I’ll go according to size from smallest to largest. 
Sounds sensible to me.

Lyn Giveaway Should You Ever Come to

This little book is to acquaint me with Yorkshire.  Short little articles/comments about the place and the people.
One comment that particularly caught my attention was this one regarding Yorkshire Pudding
- - - - - - -
Interesting

I made and served this dish for years before I learned it’s name. 
Now some of you Yorkshire Pudding lovers may cringe when I tell you we usually served it with yogurt and syrup. 
I told you you’d cringe.
Everything I know about it is summed up here

Lyn Giveaway Should You Ever Com to Yorkshire

Some weeks ago I was reading Lyn’s posts when she posted about making Button Hearts 
Oh, my heart skipped a beat or so. 
I fell in Love with them. 
So Dainty, so Cheerful.
You can imagine my surprize when I opened the next gift to find  .  .  . 
One of Lyn’s Button Hearts
FOR ME ! ! ! ! !
I’m in love 
Lyn Giveaway I Love Buttons Really  

The caption on the next gift ‘In bloom all year . . . . ‘
caught my attention. 
Gee, if it was in bloom all year long I’m sure hoping it made it through the mails .
   Lyn Giveaway In bloom

Ohhh, my!  It’s a Gerbera Flower just like the one I saw on
Lyn's Everyday Life Emporium

How did you know, Lyn?
You made mine
in MY COLORS
Lyn Giveaway In bloom All Year
Thoughtful Lyn even included a neat book to inspire me to do more needlework. 
A great book with instructions for stitch after stitch and idea upon idea. 
Right now it’s bedside so that it’ll be the last I read before dreaming.

Lyn Giveaway Some Bright 
 
The illustrations are gorgeous.

Lyn Giveaway Some Bright Ideas 
   
To make certain I’d not forget my nightly inspirations,
Lyn sent along this jazzy journal and pen so 
I can record them.

These are the very wonderful giveaway surprizes from Lyn to me.
Ah-Ha ! ! !  
Lyn Giveaway One More Left

You’re correct, there is one more goodie.
I kept this one for last, not only because it was the largest in size - remember I opened them according to size from little to BIG.
Are you Ready??????

Here it is.
Can you read the tag?
Hmm, whatever could this be???????

  13. What a stunning giveaway you won. I have missed so much over the last week of family. What a great treat for you. So much fun stuff to look at here. Pictures are never too much at making a posting long.

    Off to catch up on others, so far behind on all my reading,
    Hugs,

  14. What lovely goodies, Gerry! :-)

    I'm a yorkshire "pudden" fan myself! My family recently visited me from England and I asked them to bring only one thing... a new yorkshire pudding baking tin, for me!

    What a wonderful painting and ribbon brooch! Lucky girl! :-)

    Warm regards! Vikki x
