Yesterday Dennis walked to the post office and brought back a package for me. Inside the box I found something wrapped in a very charming way.
When I unwrapped the very charming package I found something even more charming.
My blogging friend Jo of Anne's Attic Design sent this fabulous pillow to me.
I just have to show you all the wonderful embellishments.
At the top. . .
At the bottom. . .
And in the middle the satin pocket holds a lovely embroidered napkin.
The fabric on the back of the pillow reminds me of a whimsical cottage garden. Which, by the way, I hope to be planting soon around our cottage.
This lovely gift was handmade by Jo.
Thank you so much, Jo, for gifting me with this very special pillow. I love it and can't wait to use it in our new home.
If you don't know Jo, you're missing out. She's a wonderful person. Here's a link to her beautiful blog:
very thoughtful and such a pretty labor of love. :)

Good morning, Nancy! Isn't it always such a delight to exchange such lovely thoughts and gifts? Blogging opened up so many things in my own life, and one of them was friends who have sent me a gift or a card, or people I have sent things to. This sweet pillow is surely a tender expression of a lovely lady. I have a large drawer full of cards and little goodies that I will always treasure.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day and how is the cottage coming along? Anita
What a delightful gift from the sweet, marvelously creative Jo! I was introduced to her blog through you, I think, and have been following her since. I know this pillow will have a special place in your new home that is being built! Just beautiful!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnne seems to be such a sweet person. I know you are going to find the perfect spot for that pillow. Can't wait to see what you plant in your garden!!
ReplyDeleteDigging in the dirt makes me happy. . .I can't wait, Latane!

That is SOOO cute, Nancy. I love how unexpected the back of the pillow is with its pop of color. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteSweet Nancy, you bring tears to my eyes. I'm so glad that you love the pillow. It's so fun to make something for someone that really appreciates it. It even looks pretty on your blog! Love to you! Jo

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely, thoughtful gift! You are blessed!
ReplyDeleteWow. Gorgeous gift. Jo is a very talented seamstress.
ReplyDeleteIt's very beautiful Nancy. I am aware of Jo but haven't quite yet figured out how to comment on Wordpress blogs as I do all of my blogging on my phone. As soon as I can get it figured out I will be over there. I am looking forwards to seeing where you will put this very special pillow in your new home.
