{ LOOK - I won this IRIS GOLD Jewelry from Georgia in Greece}

On Monday the postman rang the doorbell with a small parcel I had to sign for. It came from Greece... all the way from the Old World. Greece was my favorite country in history classes and look now; I won this beautiful IRIS GOLD piece of jewelry from Georgia, from: Armoniaart.blogspot.com. This hyperlink shows you all three giveaway pieces of jewelry... Georgia lives in Xylokastro, in the Korinthia region of Greece. Now, I cannot wait to show you my winning piece...

How about this beautiful 925 silver pendant with Brown-Red Zirkon on a black silk necklace by IRIS GOLD for a Giveaway from Armoniaart.blogspot.com?

It even does have small Zirconia on the bale and around the Zirkon crystal! 

THANKS A MILLION dear Georgia!

Look at Georgia's beautiful handwriting...

Georgia can also be found on Bloglovin; just click the hyperlink.

Beautiful stamps from Hellas...

Georgia's handwriting in more detail...

She selected her three winners together with her daughter. Actually three pieces of incredible jewelry; one for every 100 readers she got for her blog. SO GENEROUS!

Inside the parcel was this map that was wrapped around the gift...

Map from Thassos; complimentary by IRIS GOLD - what a nice gesture!

If you can dream it, you can do it.

Great and very appropriate slogan...

This has been printed by Georgia for me; how beautifully done!

The map of Thassos shows more jewelry from IRIS Gold on one side...

And finally the little green box becomes visible!

All the way from Greece...

Bi-lingual card is used for this 925 silver pendant with brown-red Zirkon crystal.

For anyone that did fall in love with this very elegant piece, you can still order it on line.

{Blog Award from Serbia}

From dear Natasha (lawyer) from Serbia who writes the blog: SMILJE-art by heart, I did receive another Blog Award on April 15. How is that for two awards on one day? One from Canada and one from Serbia. Thanks Natasha for thinking of me. Again I want to thank every one of you; old and new readers; silent ones or those that added their name to the list. Thanks for all your comments over the years and for your input. I have leaned so much from each one of you. It is a constant blessing for visiting different blogs!

One can tell how fast the viral world goes as this is the very same award that came from Canada and again, it is in Spanish. 

Gracias por formar parte de mi mundo: link photo

'Thank you for being part of my world'

 Wishing all my readers, world wide a very happy week!

With appreciation,

Mariette

{Our Lovely Lilac Clematis 'Silver Moon'}

• Coming home from Curaçao, our garden had lots of surprises for us. One of them was our lovely lilac 'Clematis 'Silver Moon'. It is one of the large blooming varieties.

• Perfect Lilac or Lavender Clematis 'Silver Moon' that spontaneously grew in our wood garden.
• Maybe from seeds, spread by birds?
• We got two vines now and they bloom very prolific.

• These vines were kept in pots but are now ready to go to a permanent spot.

• Bottom left you see a young Golden Live Oak 'Quercus Virginiana Grand View Gold' that we managed to grow from an acorn. Yesterday's post was about this rare golden variety.

As you can tell, there are also plenty of 'dollar' weeds growing.

So much for going away  for 11 days... Vacation is nice but you have to catch up later!

Have a great week ahead and may your spring be rewarding as well.
