Mittens & earrings

On my mom's birthday, I received two packages -- One World One Heart goodies that is. From Nancy from Her Art Nest I got a wonderful pair of mittens. When I received the mittens, it was still cold enough to wear them.

I love the mixture of colors of Nancy's "Woodland Mittens."

Another thing I love about the mittens is not only the cute tag Nancy had applied but also their fragrance.

I asked Nancy about the fragrance. She replied:

"I had to smile when you asked about the fragrance I used for the mittens. Actually, I bought a leopard papered box at a garage sale that was filled with maybe 10 bottles of perfume. So, obviously, it must be a combination of scents. I really think it smells mostly like a fragrance that may only be sold in the USA. It is by Estee Lauder, and the scent is 'Youth Dew'."

I already checked about Youth Dew -- it is sold in Germany, too. However, it's not exactly this heavenly fragrance. It must indeed be a combination of ten perfumes after all.

Nancy also included a lovely card -- there's so much to discover on this beautiful painting. Thanks for the card and mittens, Nancy -- I love them!

The other OWOH treat was sent by Kate from Tropical Blonde -- fabulous earrings!

Be sure to check out Kate's Etsy store -- there's a lot to discover. When I looked at the photo of the earrings on Kate's OWOH post, I wrote this comment:

"Is it just me or do you also see an alien on the left earring? So sweet!"

Either way, I just fell in love with the design.

I was lucky enough to be Kate's first winner, so I even got to the choice to pick one of her great prizes. Needless to say I chose the earrings which Kate sent in a green organza bag along with a nice card.

I really enjoy wearing the earrings -- thanks so much, Kate!
