Well it has been quite a while gosh going all the way back to Christmas I think since I have done any kind of mailbag segment and I guess it’s time to do that today because I don’t want you guys to feel as if you send me things

And they go into a black hole I do try to acknowledge them I’m so sorry that I can’t write individual thank you notes which my which my mother would be appall that uh but I get lots of incoming in the way of notes and gifts and things

And it’s hard for me to respond to everyone but I do want to show a few things that are just really especially fun and um and or precious to me so starting with this very very spring pillow which will be part of my spring makeover when I kind of J things in the

In the cottage for the changing seasons this is from Julie vistra in Canada and she’s apparently an artist and she does beauti beautiful beautiful work not only on fabric but I’m sure prints as well and this is one of her works it’s just beautiful it’s it’s well it’s comfy it’s

Very Huga it’s very soft and and comfy and warm and I think it’ll be beautiful since it picks up some of the some of the blue tones in in my Cottage so thank you thank you Julie um these are really fun these come from the upper pens Peninsula of Michigan Western Camp from

Susan Westerman and she made some homemade bookmarks with some of her forged finds and I just I love that baby maple tree with roots oh my gosh anyhow on the back it describes what they are and I know these were timec consuming to make and and very very dear because you
