Whenever I see something like this in the mail my heart skips a beat.
When I opened it my heart started to sing! What an incredibly sweet package!
So nicely wrapped and with a lovely handwritten note enclosed! Kelly and I sent eachother a few handmade goodies last year and now she surprises me again with this delightful bundle!
You should really be here to see and feel them to understand their beauty... all peices of vintage kimono... Oh, my goodness, this is a true treat for a fabric lover! The fabrics are all different, such a nice variety of textures and colors, from rough to silky smooth, and fine, fine thin to coarse and weighty. They are the nicest present!
Thank you so very much Kelly! You might be startled to hear that I have already begun to cut into them and put them to use? I hope to show you more soon.
PS. Somehow I got into the time-consuming habit of making Etsy treasuries again. I think it is my love of gazing at beautiful handmade things... Please have a look at my treasury and do leave a word or two there if you like.
Aren't those amazing? I wanted to share and they seemed perfect for you :)
I can't wait to see what you do with them...
xoxo
