May flowers and thank yous.....


I wanted to say some very big thank yous. First for all the lovely comments on my last post and secondly to Chrissie for sending me this very sweet handmade tote bag from her give-away. I was able to choose the blues to go with my May flowers.


It's very neatly made. Lovely fabrics, lace and a pretty polka dot lining. 


Tucked inside some Zinnia seeds for the garden, which I will endeavour to grow! Now when I saw the bag in the picture I was sure Chrissie had printed a label of some kind and was a little amazed to see that the 'life is one big WIP' is infact embroidered. It's lovely work Chrissie, thank you.


The blues have a special place in May I think. I do love Forget-me-nots. Enjoy the lovely sunshine we are having here today :-)

  13. Hey Heather,
    Just dropping in to say thank you for popping in to me lately! I bought a packet of those seeds. They are very easy to grow, and I planted them out into the garden last week. The bag is lovely too.

  17. Good morning Heather! I have only just read your previous post and it touched me enormously and I imagine it touched a lot of your readers. Years ago when I first moved to France as a full-time working single mother I arrived at one of the companies I worked for, stopped my car at the security check, gave a smile and a good morning to the lady behind the window and, do you know, she came out and gave me a hug. I imagine I felt pretty similar to you in the supermarket on your peony birthday. Those tears which well up are good tears.

    Hugs,

    Stephanie
