Kindness always makes you smile ~

I have a few little image gifts for you!!
A wonderful old photo of a woman...
don't you love her dress?

A few more sweet images ~

The cards above came in the most wonderful
surprise package from Marie of Spun by Me...
they were accompanied by this precious gift ~

Look at her expression....
A beautiful little angel gently holding a bird's nest ~
Marie said she thought of me when she saw it
and knew she had to send it to me!

And look sweet Marie! She fits wonderfully on
my tiny side table in my studio.

And look at this gorgeous rose she included....
Dear sweet Marie, thank you so very much,
I just love her!!

Also a package arrived from sweet Lisa of Tarnished and Tattered!

Lisa and I both love books and have tons of the same ones...
well she discovered that there were a few
that I didn't have and she knew I'd love them ~
plus she added the most wonderful Japanese sewing books!!!!
Lisa bought them in San Francisco at a Japanese book store....
Thank you so very much sweet Lisa, I love it all!
Now I've got to figure out what to make first :)

I love this Tinsel Trading book!

A few peeks inside:

Another wonderful decorating book.....

Have you ever seen how neat the projects are in Japanese sewing books?
No, I can't read the instructions but the patterns and photos guide you.

Sometimes I can't even believe how many precious friends I've made here.
Just when I'm feeling blue or having a rough day,
my dear friends here in the land of blog make me smile!!!!


I hope you have a great Tuesday sweet friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn
