I Bought the Cutest Toy!

This is Dottie the Ladybug, and I found her at By Nanas Hands on Etsy. She's so cheerful, and soft, and squeezable, that I almost didn't want to part with her! I did though, and now my grandson is busy pulling on her wings and chewing on her antennae. Those parts were triple sewn, so he'll have to do a lot of pulling and chewing to get them loose. Check out By Nanas Hands if you have a minute. She has more super cute stuff--I think Tilly the Snapping Turtle may be on my shopping list soon.

I Am A Lucky Girl!

I won this beautiful set of quilted coasters at the Bella Modiste blog! Not only are they lovely to look at, but they're sturdy and well made. The coasters came with a surprise bonus--a matching mini-quilt.

I was so thrilled when I opened my package that I had to go check out her Etsy shop again to see if there were any more coaster sets available. Sadly, none today, but I found the cutest bags! There's a pretty selection of aprons, too. Go check out She Sews By The Seashore for some beautiful and unique finds!
