It's very rare that I will post three times in a week, but something arrived in yesterday's mail that has me just speechless. It was late when I got the mail last night - eye appointment for me, orthodontist appointment for my daughter, picked up my DH's new car, a track banquet - busy day, so I didn't pick up the mail until late. A package arrived - a purple and white package from overseas. I am speechless. A beautiful needlework book from
Isabella all the way from France. And I am speechless. I'll let the pictures do the talking.
The front:
The side:
The back:
The inside:
The package held some sweet goodies:
A rooster waxer and three luscious skeins of AVAS silks.
Mere words cannot describe how much I love this needlework box. The finishing is exquisite. I am in awe. This box has brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart and even while posting these pictures tears well up in my eyes.
Thank you Isabella, my dear friend. This will be treasured for the rest of my life!
Isabella has posted pictures on her blog also, so please take a look and let her know what wonderful work she does!!

My main hobbies are cooking and watching movies. I also like outdoor activites but the temperature has been very bad for the last days or so here |.
