Amazing Mail!

Valentine Dotee from Germany, originally uploaded by ivoryblushroses.

When I went to the mailbox today, I found a heap of packages from all over the world in it! So exciting to receive so many treasures from all over!

The package from Germany contained a sweet Valentine Dotee Doll named Rose! She arrived with an assortment of lovely items including a lovely little pottery heart, a silk rose clip and a page of wonderful German die cuts and a beautiful card! Thank you Isabell! This had to be the best swap I've ever received!

A package from Amy in Texas (one of my blog readers!) contained a generous rainbow of silk embroidery ribbon and a lovely tatted doily to use in my work! Thank you Amy!

My friend Val in Australia sent me a package filled to the brim with wonderful fabrics, pearl cotton, beads, silk embroidery ribbon and a delightful little cross stitch project featuring violets! Thank you Val! This was such a lovely surprise!

From my friend Gail in New York, I received a copy of "Knit Two", the 2nd book about the "Friday Night Knitting Club"! Thank you Gail!

I also received two other packages of things I'd ordered ~ a few special beads for an upcoming crazy quilt project and an old book on crazy quilting! What an exciting mail day this has been! It definitely makes up for feeling a bit under the weather today with a sore throat and cold!
