I had a crazy busy day yesterday - the kind where you barely have time to eat. Swim team practice, swim lessons, errands, sewing for deadlines, rush to the post office, shower, hair cuts for me and the girls...hectic, but in a good way. So here is part one of my mail post, just a day later.
Kirsty is a gem. I saw a photo of some plastic belt buckles that she thrifted over on flickr and wouldn't you know, she sent me the ones I like.
She also sent the fabric they are sitting on - so charming and well, green. You know I love my greens. These goodies have been in the house for awhile now and I have been remiss not to thank her sooner. Thank you Kirsty! I love them! Some little things should be showing up for you soon.
Cristina and I had a little moo card swap.
She sent me an aqua tray cloth with beautiful edging. I now have two aqua tray cloths, the other one from Kirsty. Coincidence? Hmmm.....one more and I'll have a collection. There were the adorable moo cards with her gorgeous photos and some vintage sheeting scraps, too. Perfect! I have just the project in mind for these. Thank you Cristina! I adore what you sent - it really couldn't have been any better!
I sent Cristina a little something along with my moo cards. There is a big story behind it so it'll have to wait for another day. As will the other goodies I have received lately. I told you - lucky me.
Lucky you indeed!

What wonderful friends... must mean you're a pretty good one. Isn't it funny that summer seems like it's supposed to be filled with lazy days, but there's so much fun and good food to pack into those long days that things can get really hectic?! Do I get a prize for a run on sentence? Have a terrific weekend!

I just bought a green plastic buckle that I love! Although it's not vintage which would be even cooler. I think I sense myself starting to get a little crazy about them!
