Once upon a time, there was a VERY GOOD GIRL....

and that would be.....ME.

I know I was a very good girl because Santa brought me 
just what I asked for....
so THAT is bound to prove how good I was, don't 'cha think...???




I've been a fan of MACKENZIE*CHILDS for years and years....

and many of you have seen my tea kettle many, MANY times.

I've had one canister but have wanted the medium and small size...for...ever !!!

All the pieces are hand painted so no two pieces are really alike..

very pricy...
(a word that can be spelled two ways...
pricy or
pricey ) 
very classic...


...is it just me or are these not the most beautiful things, ever !!
Of course, if you aren't into black, white and checks, you  may not care for them.
 As for me, I'm thinking of taking them to my grave with me....:>)


AND another canister to put my coffee grounds in on my COFFEE BAR...!!
(what a good girl I must have been)

AND,
I've had the sugar bowl with lid (from my beautiful girl) for years now...
but no creamer....
NOW I HAVE THE CREAMER...

oH, and see those GLASS canisters in the background...


My sweet friend, PATTY, painted those WOODEN lids for me
a few years ago...
Some of my long-time blogging friends have seen these a million times
but maybe my new ones haven't...
AND....I luv bragging about them. :)


She copied MC so so well...


I got the pretty knobs from MC (free)
and, for $6.00, from  ♪♪ GOODWILL,
I have 4 glass canisters in a wooden rack.

Let me do the math...
$52 x 4= $208.00 PLUS tax and maybe shipping.
WOW...some savings, hu ?
******


So, the moral of this story is
it pays to be very, VERY good !!

THANK YOU, SANTA......
 
I'm a very happy camper...  

pink sat. (I am hoping Beverly will allow RED since it's a deeper shade of PINK

OK....I'd better add a REAL PINK photo, just for Beverly and her famous PINK SAT.

a cookie to write home about....

Thanks to my blogging friend, VEE, for letting me in on 
one of the best cookies.....EVER !

    I'm sure you are a very good girl every year, but you must have been EXTRA good this year! Love your canisters and the creamer! I know how much you love your MC items! Your knockoffs are great also...very talented friends you have. OK, so now you are extra challenged in 2015 to be good!
    hugs,

    Oh, BJ! I am so happy for you! Those are fantastic!!!

    You know, every time I see black and white I think of you. Truly. And MacKenzie Childs always, ALWAYS reminds me of you. I think this gift truly was from Santa because he brought you your heart's desire. :-)

    Wishing you a very Happy New Year, my friend, and a Happy Pink Saturday!

    I told Beverly and Jeanne that I am posting mine on the basis that white + red = pink! You can stand on that same principle. ;-)

    Love 'em!!! So happy you were a good girl! I got the mini pedestal and it is so adorable (you might want to continue your "good girl" streak because it would be perfect for your baked goodies!) Happy New year - enjoy your new checks (and what crazy woman wouldn't love checks??)

    Methinks I LUV black and white checks ... and MacKenzie Childs ... and if I want something like this were to appear in my own home, I'd better turn over a new leaf RIGHT AWAY. LOL!

    You know guys do the opposite with the red-pink thing. It something looks somewhat pink they'll go "no it's like a light red".

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
