prize from canada

last week i was thrilled to discover i had won a photo contest
hosted by Chania at Razamataz
and look at the prize i received in the mail, all the way from Canada!
a 1920's era Crown jar with glass lid, handmade soap in a little gauzy bag,
and a wonderfully soft old sugar grain sack!
tied with perky pink ribbon

i collect blue Ball jars, and this beauty with it's sparkly crown, will fit in just fine.


i have never seen this type of glass lid before






handmade soap from her shop


this grain sack is so dreamy soft in color and texture......

"SWEET"

this weeks theme is
pink
i'll be joining this fun challenge for sure.
thank you again Chania.

  5. congrats to you! I'm not a bit surprised. your photos are always beautiful. What awesome gifts. That jar is really special. I've never seen a lid like that either. I passed up several blue jars about a month ago and have been kicking myself ever since. Don't you just hate it when that happens?

  16. No more deserving of that win then you. I remember that post and it was a white cloud of loveliness.
    I always find myself gasping a bit as I scroll down to each photo....this one is no exception.

    I've never seen a blue ball jar like that either.....just great to add to your collection.
    The soap and grain sack are fabulous too.
