Package from Yorkshire

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.

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.

I do believe it’s the Union Jack

Looks like Lyn wants me to feel at home should I do the tourist bit ! !

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

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 

  

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 .

  

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

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.

 

 
The illustrations are gorgeous.

 

   
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 ! ! !  

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???????


Taaaa Daaaaa ! ! ! ! !

Some may recognize her.
It’s Renee ! ! !
Look how lovely Lyn has
painted her portrait.
Oh, Lyn, you’ve made her so beautiful.
I love, love, love how you’ve painted her.


Lyn, Thank You from the bottom of my Heart.


I am so lucky to have met some many wonderful, generous, creative, talented, lovely people since I began blogging.

Love and Hugs to each and everyone of you,
Gerry
