Hello there bloggy friends, pals and buddies! Newcomers are also welcome!
Some of you may have noticed that I haven't blogged for a little while! It's true... I haven't, LOL! You are very observant if you noticed that! I'd like to thank all my bloggy friends who left comments or sent an email! Thank you so much for your virtual friendship, love, and support!
The truth is, I haven't been feeling my best. I cannot tell you how much your comments and friendships mean to me! Each one has helped me feel a boost of loving energy that I have needed from time to time.
Today I wanted to share a very special gift that a very special lady has shared with me!
Some of you may know Marie Antoinette of Dolls by Marie Antoinette. She makes the loveliest dolls and often creates a very special vignette with those dolls. Well, this special lady was kind enough to share her very lovely talent with me in the most generous gesture! She is giving one of her dolls to me!
I just happened to be reading this post on her blog which tells about her dogs, the T-shirts she makes, and her Christmas tree creation. This is one multi-talented lady, let me tell you! Well to my utter surprise somewhere in the middle of the blog post I read something that said:
Well, if you go over to her blog and look at those dolls you will see 4 beautiful dolls in 4 lovely vignettes and, I have to say, it was a very hard decision! They are all so lovely!
Below you will see the doll I chose:
Isn't she lovely? I love the wicker chair, the white dress, the kitty cat, and the gazebo style of the area she is sitting it with the beautiful vines covering it. It's a peaceful area in a lovely garden scene! There are also so many sweet details (if you click to enlarge the photo) like the birdie in the top left corner of the roof of the gazebo and the kitty cat resting leisurely at her feet! It's so sweet!
Marie Antoinette, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and generosity, not to mention your loving and suppportive emails! Thank you so much! Your kindness has meant more to me than I can say and has really helped me during a time where I am not feeling "up to par".
Thank you, bloggy friends, for stopping by to say hello! As you may already very well know comments are always welcome here at TattingChic! Hope you have a fabulous day and thank you for letting me share my special gift from a friend with you!
Oh, and one last thing:
May the Force be with you!
♥
XOXO

I'm bummed to hear you haven't been feeling well! Ugh! I hope you feel more like yourself lickety-split!
The doll is so sweet! What a lovely gift.
I'm yelling throughout this comment with all the exclamation points! (!!!) I'm just so happy to see you posting! I've missed you!! Okay. I'll stop.
!!!!!
I was hoping you were on an extended vacation somewhere, but I also worried that you weren't feeling well. You were commenting on blogs (including my own), so I also thought you just might be taking a well-deserved sabattical, as Gina is doing. It's amazing how frequently both of you post, and also amazing how you respond to everyone's comments.
Please just take it easy and concentrate on getting well, and post when you feel up to it.
This IS a very sweet doll! She almost looks like she's holding a tatting shuttle!
The doll is a lovely gift. I hope you feel better soon.
I'm glad that you are feeling better! What a lovely gesture from Marie Antoinette-the doll is beautiful! I have visited her blog and she is truly talented!
Blessings,
Kim

Awwwww, TattingChic. You know, I was thrilled to see so many comments from you a few days ago. I knew you hadn't posted in a while, but I had assumed that you were having too much fun, enjoying life away from the computer. I'm so sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. Ohhh, my dear, I'm sooo sorry. This doll is the perfect pick-me-up, I must say. What an incredible and daintily detailed piece, and so very thoughtful of Ms. Antoinette.
I hope you feel better soon. xoxo

I don't know what made me read a comment you left on my blog last year! You left a poem and I read it again. You left it on a birthday post for my husband. It made me teary eyed rereading it again.
I came here and then find out that you have not been well. I am sorry to hear it. I hope you are feeling better.
Yes blog friends do surprise us sometimes.
Just imagine, the poem you shared totally changed my outlook today. Now I am very happy.
I hope you fell better Tatting Chic. Something told me to open that post today. Maybe it was your angel, or my angel telling me to say hello and cheer you up.
Hellooooooooooooo!!!
xoxo
Now I did post a comment yesterday but it disappeared off the screen and left an error grrr. Back again for another try! Have missed your interesting posts Chiclet and now looking forward to them returning. Thanks for visiting my blog and hope you will be feeling full of the joys of Spring soon. The sun will start shinning, for you and everyone.
So sorry you've not been too good. Happy to see you posting!
