All The Way From France

A few weeks ago, my blogging friend, Baukje at Busy Bee Free,
sent me some sweet gifts all the way from France!
A little stocking keychain she knit herself, and
some pretty vintage linens from a vintage and craft festival she attended.


Thank you so much Baukje!!  I love it all!

As you can see the pretty flowered apron, battenburg lace napkins and
tiny knit stocking keychain are making themselves right at home among my things.

If you all have not met her yet, 
you can visit her blog, Busy Bee Free, here.
She is a talented needlewoman, an amazing gardener and a lovely friend.

    Those are all such thoughtful gifts. Love the little stocking keychain that you have hanging on the same tumblers that I used to drink out of as a child...love it!
