One of the things I did to celebrate was to indulge in a few little handmade goodies. The first present arrived in the mail this afternoon and did much to lift my spirits.
I ordered a tiny happy small green linen pouch adorned with antique Finnish lace to hold all my knitting tools. I've been following Melissa's pretty creations through her delightful blog. I really love these, especially the feather one. Go see.
The inside of the pouch is lined in gorgeous Liberty of London tana lawn (sigh).
I especially appreciated the handwritten note with a beautiful fern print on the reverse. She also tucked into the package a lovely piece of cream lace. This extra gift I take as a sign that I need to transform the inspiration I find on her blog into my own little tiny happy creations.
Thank you Melissa.
