Don’t these look pretty together? I came back from my trip to L.A. to a pile of happy packages.
Mom sent the bunny basket, along with some old children’s books and a piggy for Charlotte.
Laura painted me a birthday sprig (nope, it’s not my birthday anytime
soon) and sent along an amazing violet-glass cake stand that I
purchased on my last visit to St. Louis.
Kat made Charlotte a practical wardrobe of amazing treasures, including
this smocked summer shirt, as a "just because your fabric inspires me"
present (totally blushing – wow!).
And the polkadot boxes are from me, via The Land of Nod.
I know I need to photograph the rest of the goodies too, but Isaac only left the Lensbaby this week and these pics were looking so pretty together. When I get my hands on the proper camera equipment, I’ll see about making you even more jealous : )
Meant in the nicest, most-friendliest of ways!
REST OF THE GOODIES!? Holy smokes! What a beautiful stash of surprises!
Wow, the embroidery on the shirt looks beautiful. What a blessed gal you are!
They all look wonderful – can’t wait to see the rest of the photos. The shirt for Charlotte looks divine!
How beautiful! I’m drooling over the smocking… I have a friend who is smocking dresses for Easter, maybe I’ll try next year. I have a Charlotte too, btw- though I haven’t met any little Charlotte’s IRL, just hear of them occassionally online. 🙂
WoW, Gifts from a trip, what could be more Exciting!!!
I got two happy packages today myself, filled with yards of yummy Freshcut fabric. After months of patiently waiting for it to finally arrive in my local store I broke down and ordered it online. I just couldn’t stand it anymore and I would have been so sad if I didn’t get what I really wanted when it finally arrived. So all my birthday money went to buying 22 Freshcut fabrics! Thanks for designing such beautiful fabric, I can’t wait to see what is coming next!
Such sweet gifts. The dotty boxes are wonderful!
that smocking is just beautiful!
Wow! It’s like Christmas in Springtime!
These are all so beautiful. Wonderful gifts from the heart..and those I think are the best! (Throw in the Land of Nod ..and yes I’d say perfect!) 🙂
I love the polka dots!!! And I love you new fabric designs, I already have a project planned for them.
Beautiful! Looking forward to seeing more pics of the painting and the smocking.
Wow…You should leave more often. Love, love, love evrything:)
Please, make me jealous. I love seeing your photos and the fun and funky inspiration they give you.
O so lovely !! I’m jealous already :):)
Oh I love “mail love”!! And the Land of Nod rocks! I just got their new catalog in the mail yesterday!
Mom and Dad are thrilled with your beautiful stuff. How fun for us to get this inspiration. And Isaac’s new website is so beautiful. We love you.
What a lot of pretty things! Love the basket and the shirt must be really lovely.
HEather, gorgeous phortos…as usual. Make learning to smock your newest hobby… there’s time to pick up another craft, right? I’ll even volunteer to teach you online…hee hee. Keep blushing… and creating. You never know who’ll be the recipient of your creativity
Great pictures! Looove the smocking… so pretty! Packages are so fun, especially when they’re full of lovely things. Those dotty boxes are cute… cute. I blogged about them myself a while back. What good taste you have:)
oh but those spotty boxes look gorgeous taken using the lens baby, in fact I have been inspired to use mine again from your work. I have a whole album od lens baby shots on my blog…I have only just discovered your blog…I will add it to my feeds, the info is too precious to ignore!
