Two 'Best Day Ever' Days In A Row
I want to start my post with a small list of things I'm grateful for.
^ Sharp scissors
^ Surprise gifts in the mail
^ New craft books
^ The Wasatch Mountains
^ New music
^ The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. 10.30.10
^ Good yard sales
Freya, Oliver and I visited my mom and dad this morning.
We were extra lucky that my brother Nicholas and his daughters were visiting my mom and dad too.
I was extra, extra super lucky this morning because the neighbors across the street from my parents house were having a yard sale.
I fell in love with this bird box immediately.
The blue soap birds nesting in milk glass sent me over the moon!
(The soap is very, very smelly bad).
Costume jewelry: $11
Crocheted trimming.
Beautiful, old and browned trimming.
A velvet table cloth and velvet, floral upholstery fabric.
The floral velvet variegates in color.
I can't wait until Katie sees it.
She will want to make cuffs out of it immediately
Embroider linen.
Linen monogramming.
Table cloth.
Total price of linens = $6
Yesterday was an even better day.
Oliver brought me mail in bed.
Any time I receive 'old fashion mail' , I know it's going to be a spectacular day
I love the hot pad my friend Allison made for me.
Allison lives in Alabama and writes a witty, creative blog at fieldwonderful.blogspot.com.

My favorite part of the package is her lovely penmanship.
Allison has the most beautiful handwriting I have ever seen.
I am very grateful for new craft book.
Oliver and I went to Borders last night.
I fell over with delight because of this zombie felties book.
I had an empty tin Nicholas gave me this summer.
I stocked it up with zombie sewing supplies.
Have I ever mentioned that I love interesting tins?
Oliver bought this funky, artsy Halloween book for Freya
Bella and Boris have a happy disposition.
The start of a zombie duck.
It needs some bullet wounds and blood coming out of its eyeball.
I can work on that tomorrow.
Cheers
it's too bad that the soap smells bad :(
