That's what the fortune cookie I opened up had to say when I opened it up earlier this week.
You don't believe me, you say?
Well, here's the evidence.
~
~
And good luck has begun to drizzle and I'm hoping for a full on down pour.
~
Because I WON! I WON! I WON!
Because I WON! I WON! I WON!
~
What did I win you ask?
~
Why, the Cider Antiques Cottage Charm Giveaway held on May 31, 2008, that's what!
~
But it was held on the 31st of last month...
Why am I crowing about it NOW
on June 6th?
~
Well, the winner was chosen
and
believe it or not
she NEVER claimed her prize.
So, a new WINNER was chosen!
And that winner was me!
Yippeeeee!!!
~
Thank you Karen at
She really has a nice blog about
vintage linens n' things.
I highly recommend you check it out.
Just for fun.
Ya know, kicks.
~
She sent me some pics with her permission to show you all what I won.
Wasn't that sweet of her?

~
Aren't they the sweetest vintagey things?
There's even a collar with a blue and white tatted edging.
SWEET!!!
Well, this concludes my typed celebration of winning and the beginning of a new phase in my life
"Being Showered With Good Luck" just like the little fortune cookie says. The inner celebrations will continue on all day and well into the evening and at least until I receive my fabulous vintage lineny wonderful prize. I'll be sure to share a pic or two when it arrives.

Added EDIT: Someone just brought to my attention today that my post about bookmarks for the May Bookmark Exchange were mentioned on Bookmark Collector back in may. Whoo Hooo. The good luck continues. Now I am right up there with our beloved Lace-Lovin'-Librarian, Diane! What a great honor!
69 absolutely fabulous things were said:
That's a great fortune cookie :)

Karen at Ciderantiques
Yay!!! I won some tatting. Thank you so much Karen! Can you tell I'm excited at all..and very appreciative of the fact that I WON!!! I made sure there's a link on my post to your give away.
You have a fabulous blog and so many lovely things. Thank you, again. :)
Lucky girl, hope your good luck lasts a long long time. Wonder what you will get.
You certainly are one lucky lady! BTW TattingChic, I love the way you present your blog. You are very artistic and creative. It is always a pleasure to visit!
Hi Pamela, thanks for visiting. The four photos in the middle of the blog post are all the items I won. Karen from Cider Antiques sent me pics via email and gave me permission to post them. Nice of her to do that, isn't it?
Thank you so much for your nice words, Linda. I really enjoy the blog and it's so nice to be appreciated. I can't tell you how much that means to me. Thank you, again. You're a sweetie. :)
Yes silly me! of course you did say that these were the things you had won, guess it was hard to see what the tatted item was.
They are all gorgeous.
Woo Hoo you are a lucky girl today!!!
Those items are beeutiful!!Y'all are so very talented!!
Have a wonderful weekend and may your luck continue!!
Hi Pamela, the tatted item, sadly is the only one that doesn't have a closeup shot of it. It's on the top of the 4 "winning loot" photos in the upper left hand corner. Unfortunately I don't know how to make that one enlarge if you click on it.
Vintage Girl at Heart, thank you for you compliments and well wishes. I'm so glad you came for another visit.
How terrific! And you deserve all the fortune you get! Such treasures!
Becky
Thank you for your nice wishes, Becky. I'm so glad you stopped by to celebrate with me!
Congratulations with your win. Oh I really hope you'll be flooded with luck from now on.
What a great fortune and a fabulous giveaway prize - congrats!
Victoria xx
Congratulations! Looks like a fabulous windfall! I love the enthusiasm that comes through every post... you keep me smiling!
Thank you, Dantatter. I'm so glad you stopped by. I hope I'm flooded with good luck from now on, too.
Thanks for the congrats, Victoria. Nice of you to visit. I hope you come again soon.
It's our famous lace-lovin'-librarian! Awww...that was nice of you to say. I'm glad to make you smile. Thank you so much.
:)
What a fabulous win! I agree with Linda, like your blog and the way you write - so artistic and full of enthusiasm!
Thank you, Singtatter. Those nice compliments mean a lot. I'm so glad you came by my blog today!
Hi TattingChic, I'm very very glad that you were the winner. I think your good luck came from a blessing. You deserve and I know you'll appreciate a lot what you won. So I know this lady Karen will feel good about your being the winner, because she can see the items are having a good destination. I hope this good luck tide continues for you. Blessings!!
Such a wonderful blog to visit, always upbeat and cheerful and I love the fact that you respond to the comments. Well it looks like good luck is definitely coming your way what a wonderful parcel of goodies to have won. Hope your good luck continues.
Congratulations on winning the giveaway! How sweet of her to send such beautiful items. Does the teacup have a little pocket opening?
Congrats! You ARE lucky!! I'm so happy for you.
The last tatted doily you completed is totally awesome!! Your talent is incredible. I love the edges in it.
Thanks for stopping by to sit in my front porch! I enjoyed having you there!! Come back for more tea when you have time.
Hugs, Sherry
Ooooh you ARE a lucky girl! I am so glad to see someone so deserving get these beautiful treats! ....and I hope some good luck will rub off on me too :)
Hi Verito. Thank you very much for your thoughtful comment and well wishes. I appreciate it and am indeed blessed.
Thank you for your very nice thoughts, Clyde. It's always a pleasure to have you come by. I think it's important to acknowledge each visitor.Thank you for recognizing that and appreciating it.
Kathy, so glad you popped in for a visit! Thanks for the congrats. Ya know, it's kinda hard to tell from the photo as I don't have the actually goodies yet...the teacup looks like it has rosettes of steam coming out of it and it looks like the teacup was made in a 3-D fashion to hold the first little rosette of steam...that's what it looks like to me. Isn't it sweet? I'll get a different pic of it and describe it once they arrive.
Hi Sherry from Edie Marie's Attic! Thank you for your visit and sweet compliments, especially on the last doily. I think the person who designed the edge of that doily made the points look like little crowns, don't you? I enjoyed your front porch party very much, thanks for having me by, even tho' I was a day late...LOL.
Thank you so much, Sherry our very own Lady Shuttle Maker! I appreciate your kind words and I'm sure the good luck will rub off...like I said, there's plenty to go around!
Oh, you are lucky and may it continue. I saw these beautiful linens and they were one of my favorite give-aways. Have a happy weeekend. Linda
What a fabulous gift! I adore the placemat with the teacup "pocket".
Thank you for visiting my porch, it's nice to meet you! I have always had an afinity for tatting. It's so wonderful that you are keeping the craft alive. Lovely work!
Nikki
I'm glad you enjoyed the party. I skimmed through some of your older blogs to look at your tatting. It is beautiful. I'm glad to know there are still people keeping the art alive.
Rhondi
Linda,
Thank you for visiting and for your well wishes. I appreciate them both. :)
Welcome Nikki at The Scarlett Rose Garden. Thank you for your comment, isn't that teacup with the roses the sweetest? Well, if you like tatting I do hope you come back for a visit often.
BTW, I enjoyed your porch party and your red velvet cake looked absolutely delish!
Hi Rhondi! Oh, I enjoyed the porch party very much...you are quite the organizer. Thank you so much for stopping by to visit my tatting blog and leaving such a nice comment. Do come again!
Oh, you lucky lucky ducky! I wanted that teacup towel so badly! LOL! Send me a pic so I can drool over it.
You know, I always wonder how they let you know if you don't have an email listed? Guess that's one way to get you to check their blog every day.
:-) Gina
Hi Gina, thanks for visiting! That tea towel with the teacup on it is adorable, isn't it. I'm so excited because I have pink appliances...LOL...so it'll go perfect in my kitchen. I'll post close up pics on my blog of that and the tatted edging on the linen collar. I found out because Karen from Cider Antiques left a comment in my last post, so nice of her (but, yes, I did check her blog the day of the giveaway).
Oh how beautiful. You are very fortunate indeed. I love the pictures.
Congrats on your big win. All those goodies are so beautiful.
Also, so happy that you have been hit with good luck after the fortune cookie and the bokmark mention is a thrill. So happy for you!!! Thank you for your visit to my porch party and your kind comments. You are a dear. See you again soon.
hugs, Celestina.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. It looks like you won absolutely beautiful vintage linens. I love them. I am going to use the tatted piece I purchased on a layout of my Grandmother who tried really really hard to teach me to tat and believe me I tried too, but I was all thumbs :)
sherryb
Oh, Sherry, that sounds like such a lovely thing. Will it be a scrapbook layout of your Grandma with a little journaling of her teaching you? I sure hope you post about it on your blog. That would be really sweet!
Thanks for your comment on my porch and back deck! Wow, what pretty things you won! They are all so beautiful. I really love that friendship crazy quilt from a previous post. How pretty!

Kady-Life on Bonnie Lane, thanks for your reciprocal visit to my blog. I appreciate your nice comments. That friendship block is very special isn't it? Thanks again, and hope you visit often.
Thanks for stopping by. I am so glad that the fortune cookie brought you such good luck.
Have a great day! Suzy
Thank you, Suzy!
And I am the lucky one today because I found your blog! It is a little piece of heaven on earth. Blessings, Katie
Katie~Ragamuffin Gal, YOU are the sweetest thing EVER!!! You must have been born with charm oozing out of your pores, girlie! I was attracted to your site because when I was little my mama used to call me her little "ragamuffin girl" when I first got up in the morning and my hair was still messy...so your blog title had a little pull on the heartstrings...sweet.
Oh I'm so excited for you, I also left a comment for the give-away. I just love your & Karen's blog site, everything is so beautiful. Congratulation on winning.
Hugs, RoseMarie
Thank you, Rosemarie, what a thoughtful comment. I appreciate that. That peach cobbler at your blog looks delicious!
What beautiful items to win. I love the look of tatting, but it is not a talent that I have (I can only dream about). Your blog is so pretty and I so enjoyed looking at it. Katie
Congratulations on such a wonderful win!! Got any fortune cookies for me?!?LOL

Hi Stephanie ~ Angelic Accents, thanks for visiting. Your comment is so cute. I don't have anymore fortune cookies, but I'm a firm believer there's enough good luck to go around and I do know where you can get some fortune cookies if you're not satisfied with that... :)
