Hello there and Happy New Year once more!~ Those are lovely pressies! I absolutely love them!

So sorry that I did not include my email address on my blog; it is actually in the CONTACT information of the Bed and Breakfast of ours,( that my dear hubby and I own), that I posted earlier.~ I sent you another comment the other day to correct the fact that in my excitement, I mistakenly added the word "lane" to our web address..., Oops!

~ Sorry for the confusion!.., Yet if you Google the bed and breakfast name, it will give the full web address)~ Yet no worries as I will post the link for the B. and B. on my blog right now..,

(With a full life, and a precious little boy, along with the extras of the holiday season, you have lots to do and then some, I'm sure!~ It was super busy this year for us as well)!..,

(I will also mention that the last letters are ".ca" ", not ".com" on our web site; as I realize this is perhaps confusing and not usual.~ ( The ".ca" represents Canada).

P.S.~I also checked frequently to see if perhaps you were trying to locate me, via sending me a comment or query, on my blogs..,

(Other fellow bloggers have mentioned that with blogger that sometimes they have had a difficult time getting their comments posted. Also at times they cannot even post comments at all)!..,

It occurred to me that perhaps you could not get through to me via sending a comment.

I have heard of several poor fellow bloggers who lost their blogs entirely! I know that I personally have lost my followers at times! (Along with millions of others apparently; I remember it all too well!

Thank you for kindly mentioning me in your last post and for the inclusion in your next draw.~I am tickled!

When you get a moment, I warmly invite you to please try once more~ I'd love to hear from you my dear!

~In fact the real "prize" for me is always meeting and connecting with new people!

Cheers from Silken Purse @ The Plumed Pen and @ Silken Purse

You're making me jealous with all your fab pressies. Love those vintage brooches.

Wanda Lee said...

love that brooch also!..,(And all the pressies; the ones your mom made are so heart warming!

Here is a short and sweet message; I know I'm "long winded"!)~ He he!.., Thanks for the "100th follower" prize/award!

(In case the previous message didn't come through, the addy is posted on my blog at The Plumed Pen)..,

Cheers and hugs from Silken Purse@ The plumd Pen
