I am truely blessed.

This will be a long and varied post...

Angie, my partner in Lost Shakers of Salt, sent me this extravagant birthday gift, which showcases her talent as a fabulous Mag Pie. Gathering as she does, the most glittery of all notions and wrapping them each individually.

And Deborah, sent me this brilliant pin cushion, with hand-made pins!! I admired them over at her blog a while back...

And Jeannie, showcasing her exuberance and dyeing prowess, sent these hand-dyed silks. They are gorgeous and wrapped in beautiful paper and held in a bird-centric folder. Her card was quite touching too.

With your speakers turned on...

JJ sent a package of gifts that arrived about a week before my birthday. These finger puppets and theater were the showcase of the gift and I figured they deserved their very own movie...
Again, can we applaud JJ's folk art aesthetic?

I am just amazed and grateful at the love and talent of those who are my friends. Floored, really. I love all of you!
