Good Morning!

What a beautiful morning it is too! I was staring at this vision only a few minutes ago.

At the exact same time, this was above my head...

It is an amazing blue sky with pink clouds. Quite a contrast and certainly made my heart sing this morning.

After receiving that gift this morning I thought I would share a few things from friends last week. This is the beautiful vintage sheet music from Becky.

Becky also gave me this vintage paper doll set.

I don't know how she knew I loved paper dolls, but this is certainly a treasure. There are various heads that slide on the bodies with outfits and hats. Adorable. If you peek in my window some day you may catch me playing !

Among Karen's gifts I found sheer fabric with embroidered dragonflies , vintage lace and a silk dupioni that I don't have :-)....I haven't opened the Almond Champagne yet!!!!!!! Perhaps we need another play date? Love the card!

Jilly used this awesome rag bag to stuff goodies in. I could hardly get past the bag. I thought she had made it.

Those were a few things from my wonderful friends Jilly,Karen, Laney,Becky,and Ellen who now have reason to watch their backs!

This gorgeous card arrived from my friend Jan from Michigan/Arizona. It arrived while Saturday's CQ class was taking a lunch break. Isn't it beautiful? The music paper is the envelope. Thanks Jan!!!! Have fun in AZ!

After class , a student gifted me with something she picked up from a quilt show recently.Pat Resler presented me with a scrumptious bag of pink trims with a beautiful Susan Clarke dragonfly charm.

 

Oh how I love Susan Clarke charms! I still have an unopened Sea theme pack from my dear friend that I can't bring myself to disturb. One day I will ....really I will.

Thank you so much Pat. I will most certainly put these to good use.

I am still thinking about the students and their excitement over crazy quilting. It was a wonderful class.

My dear friend Marjorie sent me such a sweet gift. Something she had made and perfectly suits me to a tea!

Thank you Marjorie, I love it! What a special treat to have a hand stitched item from you. That must go in my front room where I have tea.

Well, that is a bit of my goodies however we all know where the true treasures are found....our friends.

I started painting the last rental for my mother in law yesterday. Today I will catch up on finding shelters for the 8 dozen Comfort Dolls and a few projects before attending the NANI(Needle Artisans of Northwest Indiana) meeting tonight. I get the privilege of hand delivering the mini CQ brooch prize won on my blog. The winner happens to be a NANI member! Small world!

I hope Marjorie, Karol and Lelia attend. If not , perhaps next month.

Have a great day and see if you can catch the sunset this evening :-)
