So glad I was able to enlarge the picture. That is a very nice grouping of treasures.
What a lovely gift! That stitched box is absolutely gorgeous! What a sweetheart of a friend to share with you!
Thanks for all your sweet comments on my blog, Talia! :)
The box is just gorgeous to say the least. I was feeling petty confident about my block this year until I seen this beautiful work of art. She just has a way of making things looks so elegant and it is just perfect. I know you adore it. It is a very special gift from someone special to someone special. I do love the big blue star, there is just something about I love, and the perfume bottles as well. I'll have to see if I can find you at least one for your collection.
Very beautiful gifts :)

Hi! I saw that you love mice. :) So do I. I also make them out of felt. If you want to see some mice I've made, I have lots of pictures on my blog. :)

Have you got lost in all those moving boxes? We miss you! I just about finished my tatting piece. It's very special to me for several reason but wanted to say thanks for the kick to really give this a try.
