A Colourful, Floral & Favourite Thing Friday Trifecta.

I have everything tumbled in together today. For my hexagons for Colourful Friday I have found my half finished Grandmothers Flower garden quilt (shame on me), a beautiful card featuring the same. The design is by Rebecca Barker and a dear friend gave  it to me, a stationery card set with hexies and bees on them  that the same friend bought back from USA (I love this set), my hexie templates, a jar of tiger balm and a table centre I made with hexies. Visit Robyn at http://daisyquilts.blogspot.com/ for more.
My Favourite thing and Floral thing this Friday is a beautiful little gift shop that I stopped at on my way to my Mums at Tinana just on the outskirts of Maryborough called "Emmaleys" where you can by coffee,vintage china and other bits and pieces plus a beautiful range of gifts. It is such a sweet shop and smells devine.
Whilst I was there this beautiful "Floral" tag fell into my hands. Anyone who knows me knows I love tags(even named my designs after 'em) so I couldn't resist and then I just had to have the delicate little porcelain roses. Bought some for my Mum too. Then they put all my goodies (didn't show all the goodies) in this gorgeous bag. It was very yummy!

Thursday's Teddy Bears Picnic with Melody

We are very late to the picnic but I hope there's some goodies left. Taffy came on holidays with me up to Hervey Bay. He packed his little suitcase and donned his favourite sun hat. When we arrived we met up with Harvey a lovely little chap (handmade by my Mum) and we went down and spent some time on the beach with Nanna and our lovely family friend Hetty. It was beautiful and sunny and we enjoyed ourselves. We had to get up early this morning and kiss everyone goodbye and travel home. If you want to see who else is a the picnic hop over to Melodys http://thehouseonthesideofthehill.blogspot.com/
P.S. My Mum being a fellow bear lover and her gorgeous friend Hetty thought this was a hoot and  had so much fun with it all.

I am combining Floral and Favourite Friday. One of my most favourite people is my lovely daughter Melissa without whom this blog would not exist. She is a generous, kind and loving girl. An extremely good juggler, keeping all the balls of wife, mother,daughter, sister, aunty,friend and wonderful teacher in the air at the same time with only the occassional fall. Melissa agreed to draw the winners in the giveaway which i'll list at the end of this post. I have also chosen 2 "Old Country Roses" plates for Floral Friday and they just happen to be favourites as well. One features a lovely tea time theme and is for the Ruby Anniversay  celebration of the design. The artist is Jane James. My friend bought it back from England for me. The othe plate features a girl gathering roses which I have had for many years.

Sorry if you're not able to comment.

I am sorry if you have been trying to leave me a comment on the previous post. I was disconnected before I had posted and I published the post from my draft so I don't know if that's the reason it won't let you go to the comments. Hope that's it anyway. Technology it's fabulous when the operator knows what she's doing!!!
SORRY FOLKS!
