Gift Package Received

I received the most wonderful & thoughtful gift package from Anne (Doll's Musings). Have you ever seen such a beautiful pin pillow?  Can you see the little bead accents & all the specialty stitches?  Yes, ladies & gentlemen, you read that correctly. Specialty stitches.  On 40 count no less!  Anne says this is a BBD design & she chose it for me because she knows I love strawberries   : )   And you know what?  She slipped some lavender into the stuffing!  It smells heavenly!

She also sent me a lovely piece of fabric which will work perfectly with Americana pieces, a very pretty card, & two luscious teas!  Today I tried the Coconut Black Tea, a flavor her DH loves.  Yum!  She also sent one of her favorite flavors, Strawberry Rose Rooibos.  I'm looking forward to trying that one tomorrow   : )
Thank you again my dear friend!  I love everything   : )

Specialty stitches on 40 count?!? My sampler is calling for a few of them but I'm too chicken to try it just yet. That's the same reason I have several finishes hanging in my closet waiting to be framed. I'm afraid I'm a coward!

Have a great weekend!
