received from Carol Bowers

Yesterday the mailman brought me the MOST lovely package from Carol B. in England ... but I can't find her blog! :( Carol either researched my likes very thoroughly or we have eerily similar taste because the sweet pincushion she made me is "me" to a T. I am seriously in love with it. And then she added the most perfect little accents to it - a rusty pin and jingle bell, a vintage button - perfectly done. Just ... astonishing, really. I would sleep with it if I could, I love it that much.

The backside is also stitched, with a lovely flourishy set of my initials - exactly how I would write, if I didn't have to print like a third-grader in order to have it be legible. ;)

Thank you Carol for the beautiful exchange, and thank you Patti for organizing it!

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous.
I also have a little pin cushion from Carol; it was the first exchange here in which I participated. I love mine as much as you love yours. :-)
