My friend Joanne gave me this colorful bar of felted soap that came on the wooden soap stand.

A Sweet Gift
From a sweet friend who always buys local-she’s practically neighbors with Betsy Ann Chocolates. Lucky me. Such a lovely assortment of flavors and textures. A real treat. Thank you
Annual Fruitcake Reveal
Thank you for the gift of a delicious homemade fruitcake like none other!
I’m loving that darling Tea Cozy too. No matches allowed near that muslin cloth wrapping it!
My sister Mary and I indulged today, now we are back in the Burgh.
A great way to start the new year.
Kitchen Angel
She is enjoying her place of honor by the teacups.
Resolutions or No?
This little gift (sent at Christmas from my friend Joanne) spoke to me today when I picked it up to put it away. Some days it’s a challenge but I’ll put it on the shelf near my sink so I can be reminded.
Daily!
If there’s one resolution to make, I will make this one.
Do you make resolutions? I used to make a list. you know, the usual – read more books, exercise, get organized….
I finished just yesterday. Disciplined myself to learn Norwegian Knit and Purl technique and except for the last decreases with purl 2 together, I accomplished this personal challenge.

Quotable Cards makes the matches, mugs, cards, calendars and ornaments.

Bringing Joy
A little handmade gift is especially appreciated by someone who makes handmade gifts. You know what they put into it! ❤️
.
And sometimes you get totally surprised by a generous spirit, thank you dear Carrie,who created and sent an Advent box, opening a new little package of yarn each day . Just look at the colors! –
And Maine surprises-chocolate lobsters, Moose Poop and maple syrup.
I’m going to knit a Simple Stripes sweater, a fingering weight pattern.
A Sweet Gift
Honey. Harvested by Cougar Canyon Apiary in Malott WA. Extracted with no heat.
A wonderfully sweet gift from my brother David and his wife Carolee. Thank you
I believe toast in the morning will be on the menu so I can sample this golden treat.
How do you use honey?
Surprise Gift in the Mail
A box of sweet Georgia peaches was delivered on my front porch. Thank you Kristin and Rick.
What a happy and unexpected (and juicy) surprise. The jewels of a summer harvest at Pearson Farm in Georgia arrived in Pittsburgh. Perfection! The scent as the box was opened was wonderful and the taste even better. Delicious!
Threadbare Replacement
My recent post showing a threadbare linen dish towel, prompted my friend Joanne to unearth an identical Lupin printed towel she had tucked away in her stash. Approximately 15 years after her having given me the original! What a surprise to open the mail yesterday and find it folded in tissue paper, new with a tag. Thank you Joanne.
Ewe Mail
Today’s mail brought the delivery of a package. Always fun to receive an unexpected gift. If you squeeze the body, you can hear the sheep bleating. You know how I love puppets. He’ll be a great addition to video calls with the grandchildren. Thanks JB for the ewe mail.
