Sharing storage find and great online shops

I am home and happy....happy I'm home...whatever! Anyway in my mail I found an order from a dear friend who opened a new etsy shop with her daughter who is quite a talent herself. Diane Knott and Holly Knott opened "Cottage by the Pond". It is filled with embellished cuffs, beautiful accent pillows, greeting cards, fun decorated muslin ribbon and much more. All beautifully done I must add. I bought a roll of the bird stamped muslin to add to my nest collection. I love how it comes on a music stamped clothespin. My order arrived packaged beautifully and I didn't want to unwrap it but wanted to share so here goes.........
Recipe cards featuring Diane's artwork, a pretty tag, music note paper to recycle and their little business insert. I was impressed with the presentation but then Diane does know how to make others smile. If you get a chance, go have a peek at their shop. You won't be disappointed.
Last week I purchased some applique's from Carol of "Country Cottage Friend". A pretty package of freebies were tucked among my purchases along with a nice card and pretty business card.If you are a crazy quilter, Carol has several nice appliques just waiting for a special project.


I love it when sellers take the time to think about presentation. I know it costs a bit more time wise and $, but in the end, it is worth it.

One last thing, I wanted to tell you about these wonderful tightly sealed containers for small storage. I found them at Harbor tools last Saturday when I was running around with DH. Each box has 24 smaller boxes inside to hold small bits, beads, etc. They were only $5 each.
