It's here all the way from Italy!

Zaira from Little Emma English Home had a giveaway last April and I won!
It just arrived today-June 28Th-one day after my birthday.
I think the post service put it on a row boat.
I knew it would get here.
It just made the anticipation greater!






I was so excited when I saw it sticking out of the mail box.




I can't wait to sit down and look and read each and every word.
These magazines are so beautiful
I truly get so much inspiration from them.





I always go to Barnes and Noble to get these.
I don't have this one.
I love it!







Just a peek!








So pretty!







This is a surprise!
This magazine is my all time favorite.
































And a beautiful bar of pure vegetable soup from France!
Another surprise.
Thank you Zaira!

Congratulations! Anticipation is half the fun, isn't it? I love Jeanne D'Arc Living. I've never seen The English Home, but I'm certainly intrigued. I have a feeling I would fall head over heals!
And vegetable soup, all the way from Italy! teehee! WOW! JK! All I can say is, "Use the soap!" I used to save soaps because they looked so pretty and by the time I used them they'd lost their wonderful fragrance! Indulge and enjoy the gifts you receive! That's my new motto!
Have you been by to enter my little giveaway?
Hope you do!
Blessings!
