blog gifties

on thursday, a package arrived addressed to

"henry snickerdoodle reed".

inside was a very sweet, handmade card from

sylvie, louie, fuzzy and gingy and their mom.

there was a lavender sachet for me (how nice to be included!)

and a very fun little quilt for henry.

which he warmed up to after he...

sniffed it, wrestled with it and decided it must have come from friends.

and just before christmas, this very beautiful card came

from judy hartman.

i love judy's work and have met her in the real world.

she had posted a photo of this card on her blog.

i left a comment about how much i loved it,

and a bit later i found it in my mailbox.

thank you judy.

and thank you to my buddies over at quiltcat's musings...

both human and feline.

i appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity of spirit!
