{ Join the fun }

Fairlight and I have signed up for this

fabulous sounding Scrap Swap.

For more details and to join yourself, check out this

post from Redheaded Snip It ,by August 31.

Now I am off to go dig through my piles of

leftover scraps from this and other quilts.

{ A happy little day }

My Mom knows me so well. This vintage red and while polka dot

apron that she gave me "just because" last week

is the perfect example of that. I told her it may

perhaps be my new very most favorite thing. Ever.

But then, my sister, who loves to give,
bless her heart, suprised me with these

Black Mary-Jane Crocs. ,

as a early, early birthday present.
I told her yesterday, that I love them so much,
I could barely bring myself take them off when I got in bed last night,

And look at this stack of books, chalk full of inspriation and yummy eye-candy...
that I can enjoy for free from the library.

So I am floating around here in the sunshine, hand in hand with my little bit of a girl, picking yellow Graham Thomas roses, and black berries in my vintage apron and oh so cute crocs. Getting ready to bake pies. This day feels like something straight out of Martha Stewart Living.
Only Better than that because it is my real life.

P.S. A book list can be found here.

Lucky little me.

The other day I won a pair

of the prettiest pink earrings

in this very thoughtful little give-away.

and ( wait, it gets better ) a

budding frienship with this

adorable lady.

Thank you sweet, Jessica.

I am smitten.

I plan to wear them at least

everyday for the next

9 months. :)
