Okay-well, I have to show some more birthday goods-we have beautiful the Wier Ware creamer, sugar, and butter dish from grammie and a 1st edition of the Mary Frances Sewing Book! Sweet Jesus, be still my beating heart. I almost couldn't look at it. All the patterns are still in it! ohhhh! I put it away immediately because Sadie thought it was way too interesting. I am still in shock she bought it. 1st edition! wow. wow. What a special gift. I will cherish it Mom, thank you.
And to the left is a lovely vintage quilt book from Amanda, (thank you!!) which grammie immediately jumped on and won't put down. And here I am modeling an apron from Stephanie, who gave it to me when she came over this morning for a special visit. (yes, I got to meet a weblog friend and it was so fun!!) And yes, she is sweet, funny, down to earth, and I am so lucky to have her in Portland. You know how when you meet someone and you just click. Well we did. And I feel like I have know her a long time. And Sadie, somehow, was a amazing self sufficient 2 1/2 year old the entire time Stephine was here. I'm not sure who had the real Sadie, and replaced her with the quiet clone, but no worries, the real one reappeared shorty after lunchtime.
And my dear and thoughtful friend Leslie sent me these goodies, so well wrapped, from The Small Object. Leslie knows of my obsession with Sarah's creations, and she picked out the collector cards and the wonderful "i got your back" snail pouch. wow. And then Sarah, slipped in these AMAZING friends that she knew I was in love with.
Yes, I have them and they are dang cool. Big smile on my face right now. Thank you wonderful friends and family.
