Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Commercial Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

{Celestina Marie Design Send Parcel}

Today was like Christmas in March... Several parcels arrived and from sweet Celestina Marie Design ( click it) I got the most precious one. By the way, Christmas in March is not far from reality, as this artist lady has twice designed Christmas ornaments for the Blue Room Christmas tree in the White House! For 1998 (President Bush) and 2004 (President Clinton). You can read about that in her blog: Miss C ~ Goes to Washington ( click it).


Celestina Marie gave me this heart as a GIFT! Her heart... and look how pretty it is. The River Rock that I purchased from her Etsy shop Celestina Marie Design, makes a perfect paper weight too and both are done in her signature romantic cottage style. Let me show you how she does wrap her items for shipment to her customers... This was inside the parcel and another gift that I will show later as it is a surprise for a dear friend. Oh, one more thing about Celestina Marie. She wrote such a lovely post about her Daddy who was a WWII veteran and died October 21, 1998 ~ missing his daughter's visit to the White House but for sure from heaven he did watch her and her husband going there. You can view her post about her Daddy: Remembering Veteran's Day ( click it) and scroll all he way down, past the great story she first does about another fine artist lady that gives back to our Veterans. My husband and I are very respectful towards ALL our veterans!


A rose card was glued on top of the parcel with the rock and the heart was wrapped up likewise with a tulle fabric bow. She even added a silk rose that was stuffed with lavender buds... Her style of presenting things deserves to be put on a 925/000 silver tray for presentation!



Do you see the lavender buds inside the rose?



THANK YOU Celestina Marie!

  1. Liebe Mariette,

    wollte ein kleines Lebenszeichen von mir geben. Habe mich lange nicht gemeldet, weil ich viel um die Ohren hatte und daher wenig in der Bloggerwelt unterwegs war. Das soll sich demnächst aber wieder ändern.
    Wie schön dieses zauberhafte Herz ist! Kann mir gut vorstellen, dass du dich wie zu Weihnachten fühlst. Ich wünsche dir viel Freude mit diesem ausgefallenen und sehr romantischen Geschenk.

    Liebe Grüße von Elvira

  5. Hi Mariette :) What beautiful items you received from the very sweet & talented Celeste! I just adore her beautiful painted roses, and was fortunate to win a giveaway she had a while back, and most recently a darling little heart dish painted pink with her pretty roses that I purchased in her Etsy shoppe. Thanks for sharing these sweet treasures with us :)

  8. Hello Mariette,

    Thank you for stopping by earlier. I'm so glad we connected through Kathy's place.

    These gifts are gorgeous. I'm especially captivated by the river rock. My goodness, your friend is quite talented and inspirational. Makes me want to go to my garden and try doing that to one of ours. The wrapping is so detailed. I love it when thought and detail come with a gift. What a blessing for you.

    Thank you for sharing and I look forward to more visits. Much love!
