Here is Charlotte doing her best Vanna White imitation (she asked who Vanna White was--LOL!) showcasing all the goodies that I tore into as soon as I got inside. I was so excited about winning (I NEVER win anything!) seeds that I totally spaced about all the other goodies Alamo North featured in the posts leading up to her 100th post.
Along with a sweet card, a yummy bluebonnet soy candle, Celestial Seasonings Chai Tea, cute Christmas socks, Lindt Chili Dark Chocolate (which we all know is for medicinal purposes only), cute little reading glasses (excuse me, what makes you think I need reading glasses???), flameless tealights, which I love, love, love. Patchouli scented Olive Oil soap, a journal that I thought would be great for garden notes and sketches. And then the seeds that I was so hyper-focused on: Gladiola bulbs, Four O'clocks, Moonflower Vine, Moonflower Plant, Hummingbird Vine, and Texas Mountain Laurel. Wow! I know what I am going to be doing tomorrow--planting bulbs.
Thank you Alamo North, and congratulations on your 100th post. Here's to the next 100!

Congratulations, I think nola might have bought the gladiola bulbs from my master gardener group. Fun times.
Debbi, thanks for stopping by. These bulbs have a history! How nice. Does your group have sales periodically? Wish I lived closer so I could buy more!LOL! A gardener can never have too many flowers can they?
Get to work!
Great weather for it.
Oh and well done!
Regards,
ESP.
Hey ESP! Glad you stopped by. I think I need to borrow your William Wallace statue to help oversee the work being done! ;-)
That is a really nice surprise.

Glad it arrived safely. Aunt Debbi is right, so those glads have a double history. I bought them at the sale when I met aunt Debbi, I kept some, now the others are passed on to you, so think of Debbi and I both when they bloom!
I'll email you with planting instructions for the Mountain Laurel and anything else you need instructions for.
How fun! Isn't it extra exciting to recieve a package from a fellow blogger? Have fun with all your seeds and bulbs and be sure to rmember to post pictures of them when they bloom.
Well how lovely for you. Such fun when packages arrive......have fun planting your bulbs.......
Oh, I would have been so excited, too, MG! Lovely gifts from Alamo--congratulations! You will have to show us the flowers when they come up next spring.
Hi Marnie, It was a lovely surprise.
Hi Nola--thanks so much for including me in all the fun. I will think of you whenever I look at my new plants. They are going to look wonderful in the back garden. I would love some planting instructions for the Mountain Laurel.
Dear Beckie,
Oh, it is wonderful. I feel like my life has been so enriched by blogging--something I never expected when I started this summer! I can't wait to start posting about the blooms this coming summer all coming from Alamo North.
Cheryl, You are so right--it was such a lovely surprise, and I can't wait to get out and plant my bulbs.
Rose! It is so good to hear from you down in AZ! I hope you are having a wonderful time, and we can't wait to hear all about your adventures and see some pictures!
It was so much fun to tear into all those beautifully wrapped presents. I can't wait to show off pictures this summer of all the blooms I will hopefully harvest from Nola's gifted seeds.
Oh how lovely.... I can see spring in my mind... ahhhh! Have a happy Hopeful Friday...

You will have fun planting - do post pics when the bulbs come up in Spring.
Bloggerhugs!
Cielo, there is always hope in spring and new blossoms, isn't there? Happy Hopeful Friday to you too.
Wendy, It has been fun! I can't wait to post pics of all the pass-along plants from Alamo North. They will mean so much having come from a friend.
I hope you and your family are well.
Lots of hugs filled with love to you!

Getting packages in the mail is fun! Hooray!

That is so cool. Congratulations! I'm so happy for you. Loved the Vanna White imitation too. That Nola knows how to pick out great gifts.~~Dee
Monica, it's so much more fun to get packages full of seeds for the garden than nasty ole bills! ;-)
Thanks Dee! Aren't gardeners grand? They are the most generous friendly bunch of people. Always willing to share seeds, baby plants or knowledge--or in Nola's case, chocolate!
The House in the Roses is having a party!... Come to the “World of Treasures” and show your lovely treasures... Come see!
