Thank You, Baukje and Tami!

Two quick "thank you's".

Baukje sent me this beautiful blue and white crocheted potholder from France,

to go with the potholder collection I posted about a couple of weeks ago.

Also two lovely napkin pouches.  I had never seen these before.

If I understand correctly, each member of a French family has their own pouch, 

which they keep at the table to store their cloth napkin between meals.  

And then on laundry day, it all gets washed.

I really appreciate beautifully embroidered linens, so this was a real treat!

Thank you for thinking of me, Baukje.  

I love it all!

You can visit Baukje at Busy Bee Free.

 I had an opportunity to meet fellow blogger, Tami, a couple weeks ago.

We decided to meet for breakfast at a local restaurant.

We spent two hours talking and discovered we had so many things in common.

She gave me this sweet Carnation Ice Cream paperdoll!

Thank you, Tami!  

I'm really enjoyed meeting you and am looking forward to seeing you again this summer!

You can visit Tami at Vintage Connections.

Wow.  I am so lucky to have met such delightful friends in the world of blogging!
