I have the nicest "ghoul" friends...

I really do have the nicest "ghoul~friends"... I met my good friend Elaine through my good friend Jeni, her daughter ... Elaine was the winner of the little sparkly birds in my "Just Because" giveaway recently... Elaine lives in a neighboring city just to the south of me, so I took her little birds up to her... she loved them and immediately put them in some of her Autumn decorations...she then took me on a tour of her beautiful home... it belongs in a magazine! Before I left she gave me this pretty porcelain teacup and saucer filled with yummy chocolate kisses and chocolate bars...

Then yesterday, I found a little package on my doorstep from her... inside was a pretty notepad with the Eiffel tower on it, some raspberry buttercream frosting handcream, and some little candies... what a lovely surprise...


I first met Elaine's daughter Jeni through Brenda, who owns Just a Bed of Roses, our favorite antique~boutique shop in Farmington... We all love to shop there...Right now Brenda's shop is full of bewitching Halloween items along with all of the other treasures she sells... on one of my recent visits, after I came home and started unpacking my treasures, Brenda had tucked in this cute little vintage~look Halloween magnet... what a fun surprise!... She sells those in her shop too, not sure if she has any left though, everything sells really fast there!...

Then I needed just a "few" more things from her shop last week, and once again, when I unpacked my finds, sweet Brenda had surprised me with this little jar of "spoon fudge"... this is the "before" picture... it is all gone now! ...

What could be nicer than good friends and fun surprises... Merci sweet "ghoul~friends" Brenda and Elaine!... Bisous...
