Look What Just Arrived!

    The past few days found me with a nasty sinus headache. Glum and groggy, my mood was less than pleasant- what do you know? A little brown box was delivered to my door with just the pick me up I needed. My craft swap partner had perfect timing this weekend!

    The wonderfully talented Dolly Sarrio of Dolly's Designs and Dolly is Cooking sent me beautiful hand made treasures. A creamy ruffle wreath came with soft gold ribbons- just right to welcome me in. Though I haven't hung it yet, it will be a welcome sight when I return to the house from a travel or trip.
    This pretty embroidery pillow stole my heart. I gazed at it for the longest time; it's such a perfect fit. Here in my old rocking chair it sits beckoning me to come stitch a while.
     Quilting being such a passion of mine, this little quilted heart is just right for my sewing room. The picture is a little blurry and just doesn't do it justice. A warming touch to a busy space. 
     Rounding out the treasures in m box, a pretty pink gingham apron. It arrived with a special little note sharing stories of home ec classes and pink ric-rack. A farmhouse kitchen can never have too many hand made aprons!
     Thank you, Dolly, for sharing your love of hand made treasures with me. I am blessed and privileged by your friendship and sincere love of crafting. A wonderful thank you also to Michelle, at Michelle's Little Piece of Heaven for hosting this event and gathering us all together to share and learn about each other.
