Friday Pretties


I participated in a valentine apron swap that Sue from Country Pleasures organized.  I was paired with Gloria and want to share with you her very generous gifts that arrived this week.  Gloria sent the most beautiful red gingham apron that her Mother made many years ago.  It is stunning and the workmanship is outstanding.  What a treasure!


Gloria made me the most darling sewing pocket.  The colors match my sewing room perfectly.  It is so fun to see all the little treasures tucked inside.


I also found the cutest valentine of a little girl who peeks out from behind the chair when you move her as well as this darling notepad set.


As if all that wasn't enough, she included the most beautiful handmade rose soap that a friend of hers made.  Do you see the real rose buds in the soap?  It smells heavenly.  Thank you so much, Gloria, for such a heart-felt valentines gift.  I'm sending out yours today, so sorry for not having it to you sooner with being ill the past few days.  What a blessing your gift was to me!

    What a gift to be given something hand made her mother had made!!! I use handmade soap like that all the time you will love it. I often think about making it myself and selling it....hummmm.

    Oh, those pretties must have perked you up this week. How special that she sent an apron her Mom had made and it's so cute. Never seen soap with rose buds in it. I can almost smell it.
    Hope you are feeling better.
