Before Postman John went off on his two week holiday in the sun he brought me these lovely packages.
These lovely buttons came from Diana of Velvet Moth Studio after I sent her an article I had seen in a magazine that I thought would interest her.
Then my lovely friend Mo in Scotland, Mo's Flickr site, sent me a crotchet doily to include in my embroidery work. Look at the great tape on the envelope and this fabulous handmade card.
Have a look here to see what I did with the butterfly and a piece of the doily.
I have to show you this bundle of trims I got from the indoor market in Rochdale, Lancashire.
The town gets a lot of flak for being its lack of shops and market stalls but I have to say anyone who wants haberdashery make straight for this stall.

Lovely mail.
ReplyDeleteMy postman's name is Nora. This being Canada, she's called a mail carrier. She's the best postman I've ever had.
Little parcels in the post just make your day don't they!

I don't think you can beat receiving lovely surprises from the postie!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I haven't a clue what my postman's name is because he scoots passed our gate (which is quite a way from our door) on his moped whilst throwing letters into the box! It's certainly a skill to keep balanced and the engine running ;D
How wonderful to receive such beautiful gifts and your embroidery is exquisite. I'm ashamed to say I don't even sew a button on these days.
Enjoy your Sunday...whatever you have planned :D
Thank you Neesie I hope your Sunday is nice too.
DeleteReally this is the best example of hand embroidery of design.

Those buttons are simply gorgeous Lynn. I can NOT believe you have shown my terrible stamping!! How embarrassing. You're terrible, lol. Bu-ut I am happy you like the doily & butterfly, which I'm delighted you used seeing as I just had it as a card adornment. Your market finds are lush. Karen will be chapping on your door I reckon with all the beautiful bits you manage to come across, haha.
ReplyDeleteWell, it must be time for a cuppa. Kettle's on :0) xx
Hi Lynn, can I go to that stall with you some time? I love Mo's card and crochet and the button and tags from Diana are beautiful too. Always nice to get happy mail! Hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked the buttons - I've just had a lovely browse around your embroidery blog - your work is amazing and the buttons look great on your last piece - you are so good at hunting out bargains, I need you with me next time I go shopping!
