Monday Mail Call

My Swap package arrived! I just love getting packages in the mail!!

Thank you to Robin from Baggaraggs for organizing this little supply swap.

It was a Round Robin Swap...and my package came from Jacquie.

She delighted me with fabulous coastal notions...

Vintage notions...

Coordinated to perfection!

Jacquie has a blog that can be found here...

and an Etsy shop found here.

Jacquie, Thank you for everything...

You make Me Happy!

I hope you all had a marvelous Monday.

Monday Mail Call and Where the Weekend Went

A package arrived...just in time for Easter.

It was my PAFA team Easter Basket Swap

from Valerie of Yorkie's Primitives

It had been a stress filled day of standardized testing at school, 

so a friendly package was a bright spot in my day.

My sweet little Easter basket 

was filled with candy and a handmade prim egg...

...made from a vintage quilt.

...And is that bunny real chocolate??

Sure looks like it!

Thank you, Valerie.

I am just delighted!

Was the Easter Bunny good to you?

Seems that bunny finds us, no matter how far we travel!

We spent the weekend with Mom and Grammy at her Assisted Living Facility.

We went for a drive to look at the water,

and dyed Easter Eggs in the Activity Room.

Several residents had guests for Easter dinner and were seated in small groups in the activity room.

She really enjoyed having us with her for the holiday.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Take care,

~Natalie

Monday Mail Call ~ Secret Sister Revealed

My Christmas package arrived... I could hardly stand the suspense...

My Secret Sister has been sending me goodies since last March.

Always packaged to prim perfection,

with tissue and twine!

Now... I know she is a busy mom...

but takes the time to make hand stitched goodies.

Prim Dollie, Snowman's Hat...

Even a handmade paper pouch for chocolates.

(With a reusable shopping bag...how does she know me so well?)

The highlight was this handmade snowman.

In his right hand a prim Christmas tree...

And in his left hand,

a prim Christmas stocking...

I think I am in love!

Thank you, Allison.

That's Allison of Sew Many Girls.

Isn't he just adorable?!

Take care,

~Natalie
