Mailbox Love


Most days going out to the mailbox is pretty boring, pizza coupons and internet service ads.  But not this week, first came a package from Molly at Birdie Blue.  I won her Cath Kidston giveaway!!  You know how I LOVE Cath Kidston!


Love my Dream Home Journal!


Love my Menu and Shopping List!

Thank you Molly!  Be sure to visit her blog, Birdie Blue, I know you will absolutely love it like I do.  She has such a great eye for color and design.  You won't be disappointed.  


As if my package from Molly wasn't enough, my Fresh Vintage from Fig Tree Quilts arrived.  With it came a free cell phone case pattern.  Oh, what a happy day!


I also wanted to answer a couple of questions that have been popping up lately.  First, I've had some inquiry as to the lavender water I use to iron with.  At one of the local barn sales I attend, a woman makes this and I always get some when I'm there.  I believe it is a tiny amount of lavender oil mixed with water.  It does not stain the fabric but gives it the most wonderful smell. If we have all that ironing to do, why not enjoy the process?  Secondly, I have shown the cooking lavender as well.  That is lavender designed specifically for cooking, without any oils.  I use that to make lavender shortbread.  It's wonderful! 


Be Blessed,
