Here is something I’m pretty sure you’ll love if you’re female and have babies. And if neither of those things are true of you, you still might enjoy it. But no guarantee.
We got a package in the mail today. Yes. Another. Because we have so many kind and generous people in our lives. Evan’s parents are packing up their home and moving, so a few neat items were passed on to us in the process. Mom D also made Emily a dress, but I have to do a little something to it before it’s finished. Then I’ll share.
Aren’t these plaques adorable though? The first one reminds me of Emily and Jacob. The second reminds me of my niece, D’Lorah. I never see her, but I imagine she looks something like this.
I found a similar plaque at the QTS a while back. These two were made by Mom D. And the potholder was made by her grandmother. It’s destined to go on the wall too. But I might frame it first. Hmm.
Welcome to our home, sweet little sentimental things.
(The “Sugar” and “Coffee” needlepoints were thrifted from the Salvation Army a few months ago. I just never got around to sharing.)
