Mail call






I got the nicest gift in the mail - from one of the nicest people in blogland, maybe in all the land.




Lili - from Fearless Nesting - thought of me when she saw this pine cone bowl and sent it to me.



All wrapped up in this fabulous lobster fabric, tied with white cording. I was thinking the lobster fabric would be great in a tote bag for shopping, and I have big plans for the cording too - involving lampshades and wooden tv tables - be watching for posts about that too. (much later)

I have a "few" pinecone dishes - they are one of my favorites (shhhh, don't tell the other dishes - they will be jealous) - you can see a few of them here. The new bowl is the perfect piece to go with the others.

Thank you Lili - I just love the big serving bowl, and it goes so well with my other pine cone dishes.

Stop over and visit Lili and Henri - you'll spend an enjoyable week going back through her fabulous blog - she decorates, creates, photographs and makes a wonderful blog.

What a wonderful dish...I had pinecone dishes at one time but had to give them up.....wish I had kept them because they would be yours right now.....

What a loving feeling you must have. Just goes to express what a kindhearted friend you are. :)

Aww... that was so neat of her to send you that. I remember your pinecone dishes as they are just like my Mom had. I am looking forward to see what projects you do with the rest of your gift!

What a sweet gift. It's good to "hear" from you again :0) (I know, I should have sent you an e-mail but I'm a horrible correspondent) I hope all is well with you :0)
