Wonderful Mail!

What a terrific surprise arrived in the mail! I was delighted to find a great package from Marie of Zquilts! I love surprises, and this was a special one.

Click to enlarge. Ooooh! Just look! Vintage buttons! Her own card made with one of her terrific photographs (and I have a real fondness for sunflowers), and one of the lovely banners she made. They are all wonderful, and I'm so touched! Thanks so much, Marie!!!

Below: the back of the banner and the back of the card with one of Marie's photos of 3 of my favorite thread paintings of her cats Bart & Chellie. AND here is a detail of the Dorset buttons Marie made for the banner project! I fell in love with these when I saw them on her site, so having one on top of everything else she sent...really special! I have no idea what my Daily Thing will be today. I've been looking over my list and trying to choose what to try next. I do know that I'm going to try one (or more) of those gorgeous Dorset Buttons at some point!

I've received the first disk in the second season of Slings & Arrows! I'm so excited and hope to watch it tonight as I do some hand work. I don't think I posted about this Canadian television series on this blog, although I did on my book blog when the first season arrived. I love Netflix!

  1. Wow! I love, love, love those buttons. You may have just shown me the perfect thing to do while watching TV! Hey, how about making a bigger one and attaching one of your little hearts at the bottom, like a wee talisman of some sort?

  5. Let us sing the praises of Netflix! It's a wonderful thing. Especially for those of us who live a long way from a movie store.

    I'm unaware of Slings & Arrows. I'll have to check it out.
