O my gracious!

Joke, for some reason I cannot remember, thought she 'owed' me a return exchange and one arrived today. Oh my goodness gracious - I am just overwhelmed. That girl does some exquisite needlework. Such patience and precision,


A Chatelaine Design, with silk and beads. The Alphabet in Fraktur. [Luckily she sent along an explanation, too.] Is it not just fabulous?















And because she knew that I am completely crazy for Christmas decorating, you can see the Christmas decorations included in her stitching and it's backed with a georgous fabric. Oh lucky, lucky me. Joke, my dear friend, thank you so very much. It's just beautiful.

Exchange return from Anita in Belgium

Look at what Anita sent me - it was a delightful package. I love the handmade biscornu, flower pincushion, needle book and also there was a cute Belgian Chocolate tapemeasure. What a fun parcel. I am delighted. I love these international exchanges. Anita thank you for your generosity.
