Treasures

My Spring is being fickle and I don't like it... its snowing again this morning. And another very wet week is ahead of us in the forecast... I think I'm going to go hide in a closet for awhile.

This has been the coldest Spring on record in our area. Ever. Since they started keeping track. Yep. Still no 60 degree days at my house, and certainly none in the foreseeable future.

On to the point of this post... I got amazing mail this week. Not trying to say "Nanner, nanner!" or anything, but check out what Deb sent me from Illinois...

That strange little object in the front is a vintage pincushion...

in the shape of a dog pulling a cart!

Call me silly, but this is my favorite part...

I love it when I can see how old things were put together. And the fact that they apparently used pattern tissue to stuff the pin cushion is recycling at its best.

Thank you Deb... the kids and their Daddy loved their surprises too, and say that you are their favorite of my online friends.

I went shopping at Hancock Fabrics this past Saturday, and they used an old Butterick dress pattern to wrap the breakables I purchased. Great idea there! Hugs.
