I guess I will never grow up when it comes to presents. Just ask any of my kids. :) Recently, Jan had a giveaway on her blog. She chose a winner, and then she chose two more names just because, and mine was one of them. How cool is that!? Just as I was starting to rip into that package, I remembered I should probably take a picture so I can share it with you all. Look how pretty her ribbon is. I love ribbons! They always are stuck to something special.

And this was indeed special! Jan sent me a beautiful box of notecards with a scripture verse on the front. I should have taken one out of the package so you could see it better..sorry. There were two Belle Soie silks--Poison Apple and Cobblestone--and a piece of 36-count Navy Bean linen by Lakeside. And she wrote a sweet note to me in that adorable little card there with the black cats. Was that not just the sweetest thing for someone to do? Jan, if you pop in, I want to thank you again for your kindness. What a sweet package that was.

And then the next day my package of Kelmscott goodies arrived. Are these "Scissors Shoes" not darling? I already know which one I will do: the one on the left, no doubt in red.

I drooled over these scissors. They are heavy and absolutely the prettiest that Kelmoscott has done, in my humble opinion. And I always look forward to the next needle minder. I don't know how I can pick a favorite of those..I love them all.

And here are just a couple of random pics I took last weekend. If anyone can identify that little yellow-breasted bird, I would appreciate it.

This was such a pretty sky. I wish the utility lines weren't in the picture.

Thank you for stopping by and sharing part of your day with me! And a special thank you for those of you who have left comments.
