I've Got Mail

I've been so busy, I forgot to tell you about some nice things I received in the mail recently. On Saturday, I received a book from Oh Sew Cozy. She had a giveaway in January, and I won! I received the book, "Simple Things, Small Joys".


It's a lovely book. Nice and simple quilts, bright and pretty. Thank you very much, Kris! I still wish I were close enough to visit your shop!

Also, I recieved on Tuesday my order from Flights of Fancy Boutique. It was a fluke that I found this site, but they had such lovely things, I know I'll be back again. I was looking for embellishments, and they popped up. Not knowing exactly what I wanted (it was hard to decide), I went for their scrap bags--they call them their Bags of Elegance. Normally, I like to know exactly what I'm buying, but this time I didn't know where to start. I ordered the lace bag, the ribbons bag, and the "Ultimate Bag of Embellishments". I wasn't disappointed. Look at all the pretty things!

The bag of lace. I love that tatted doily!



The ribbon bag




The "Ultimate Bag of Embellishments"

They are all so pretty, I looked through it all quite a few times. I can definitely recommend this site, if you're looking for some pretty little things.

So, ok, I've talked about embellishments and a giveaway I won. What's it leading to? A giveaway of my own!! In 2 posts, I'll be up to 50, and I'd love to have a giveaway then. So, stay tuned!

Congrats on your win. Kris is the best and so is her shop. I love that book. I bought a kit from her at Road to Ca. quilt show.

Ooh, what a great shop, I just had a gander around there! Unfortunately, the shipping was quite expensive over the UK (more than the price of what I was going to buy!), but that just means that I'll have to buy enough to make it worth it, right?

I'm just new to your blog, but you have some really great stuff you're working on. I'm attempting to teach myself to quilt, we'll see how I get on...
