When Lallee put these adorable dish cloths in her Etsy shop for sale, I knew that I had to buy them. These are THE sweetest things - so well made out of gorgeous yarn! Too, too cute! I just love them! You've seen this cup before, but look how sweet it looks hanging out with Lallee's creations -
Thank you Lallee! I'll be visiting your Etsy shop again!

My friend from way across the ocean, Miss Clare, sent me THE most GENEROUS package the other day. We were just to exchange magazines, but she completely spoiled me rotten! Not only did Clare send me a copy of the magazine that her beautiful cottage is featured in, she also sent a vintage postcard, sweet stickers, lovely pieces of fabric, and a beautiful Laura Ashley sham!
Such special treats! Thank you Clare - your generosity meant so much! xo, Kim
What fun mail!
I love the fun things! ALL of them!

Thank you so much - have a lovely weekend!

First, the dish cloths and teacups are a perfect pair! Funny how similiar things in life find their way together....kind of like all these friends on your blog! And Clare is a big sweetheart! You are two of a kind too!!!

Those really go together well, you have an eye for color that I would love to have.
I absolutely love your yellow walls with your red picture frames. I would never have thought to do that.
You have that decorator instinct.
That was a nice package Clare sent.

Kim,
I come to check out your blog about once a week. Tonight for the first time I heard the beautiful music you have set to play while we view your lovely blog. While I was smiling and reading my sweet guy spun me around in my chair and asked me to dance with him. Oh happy day! Just wanted to say....thanks for the dance, Kim :)

Kim, thank you for your so kind comments on the dishcloths. I hope you really enjoy them. That cup with the forget-me-not is amazing! You'd think I'd had it to study when I made it. I love them together!
Clare's gifts are wonderful. I can see she knew just what would go with Daisy Cottage!
Rosalie got asked to dance while listening to your blog music. How neat is that?????

Hi Kim,
Those tea cloths are lovely. What a nice surprise. My friend's mother pass on just a couple years ago and about a year before that, she made me some of those dish cloths. I just couldn't think of using them for that purpose ,so I put them on my kitchen table as dish mats. Also that beautiful white apron that you bought. I just love it. I enjoy stopping in at your blog site. Have a good weekend.

So that is who bought Lallee's darling crochet pieces! Aren't her creations the best? I just love how soft the yarn feels to the touch. Kim, you have everything so beautifully displayed, too!
And Miss Claire! She is another sweetie pie with a charming home and how lovely of her to send you such a sweet package.
I just love you wonderful ladies! All of you offer so much heartfelt inspiration and joy to my days!
