I'm one of the Cool Kids !!

shortmama

I am one of the cool kids, according to Mimi at Living in France, cuz I participated in the Spring Swap hosted by Family of Shorts. All those that participated were matched up with another blogger and we were to send each other packages of spring delights. I was paired up with Deb at A Devonshire Design. Check out her blog it's all classy and interesting. What do I get her pondered...I have a vodka bottle on my blog she designs... I think I was out matched...anyway my package to her is on its way and I want to show you what goodness Deb sent me.

Look at all these lovely surprises. A cool frame, a wine holder, a jar of mango sauce, a vase, some pretty napkins and a calming kit [how did she know I get stressed]

This aroma therapy kit should be just what the doctor ordered after one of my stressful nights at work, they all smell very yummy too. The napkins are just too pretty to use, I may just display them.
I love frames and can't wait to pick out a fun picture to use. I want to know how Deb knew about my  limited cooking skills when she sent the Spicy Tropical Mango Slow Cooker Sauce. It is perfect for me and I most certainly be able to come up with something delicious. I'm thinking chicken would be splendid.

The wine holder is adorable but since I don't drink much wine see how adaptable I am? And yes I know that isn't Grey Goose but Kettle One is good too. The furry thing was already mine. It is Lucky the cat wondering what I am doing. [I bed Deb will post her gifts all lovely and stuff, I used my stove and floor ...sigh]

Here's a closer look at the cute design, spring has arrived at my house and I can't wait to have drinks on the deck while my husband grills some fish on the Weber. 

Last but not least is this adorable vase. I love the design and the springy colors. I hope to improve my flower bed this summer and what a cute way to enjoy them in the house. 

Thanks again to Deb for the great surprises and The Family of Shorts for hosting the Spring Swap...is there a summer one????
