Last post was Happiness, this post is all about love. I’m talking warm and fuzzy feeling love folks. I am often sending out packages from all of our orders. I tripped over a box when i left to go vote last Tuesday. When i returned i opened it up. What was inside was so thoughtful and so sweet it brought me to tears.
I got a box filled with love from the city of brotherly love itself PHILLY! Mariss & Sherry sent along some gifts to just say THANKS and HI! They are so awesome. First thanks to Mariss she sent along some Herr’s Black pepper and sea salt potato chips. These are my number one favorite east coast only flavor of potato chip. You can’t even get something remotely close here at home...we’ve tried. TASTYKAKES! Apparently these are only made in Philly, according to Nat. He also says they are FAR superior to hostess or little debbie or anything like that.


Then she packed some pretty gocco prints on stationery she’d made:

and the crowning glory? a BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL ink/watercolor drawing of our bags. One bag is her own, and a few are sherrys and other’s when they meet up at Rosie’s to knit.



Thank you SO MUCH for such a kind and special gift mariss! I will be finding a frame for it.
Sherry sent along some green and yellow things. She saw that i was yearning for summer and a lot of yellow and green items have been catching my eye. She sent along some pretty yarn from black bunny fibers it has a small bit-o-silk in it and it is so soft.


Then from her etsy shop a special set of BASSET HOUND stitch markers and DPN holders and a sachet of moth guard!



Thank you so much for your kindness girls. mmmmmmm tastycakes!
I also had a bit-o-help for some Red Rock Fiber Works Yarn Love, via a yarn elf. You see, Mary-Kay only sells wholesale at the moment and you have to enlist yarn elves who work at places like Colorful yarns in Colorado to buy it for you and send it all the way to Indiana!

look at the cute drawings that were on my package! Thank you Stacey, you really are wonderful and kind. Now what was inside?

Left to right: Boo light, cookie monster and avalon all aspen sock all 100% superwash merino, all too beautiful to really capture in photos but you can see more here
Did you checkout our latest update? no? we put a lot of love into all our handsewn bags. Even in the photogrpahy here’s a few of my favorites that sold earlier today:





i also love these stickers nat got to share with me

i made some more buttons and nat bought me a squeeky crab for when i feel crabby

and here’s something some of you might enjoy seeing..our fabric cabinet that resides at wendy’s.

samuel guarding the zippers

ok that’s probably enough love for today...nothing like a big ass picture post huh?

Jen, did you know that if you are a Tastycake stockholder and attend their annual meeting at the Union League in Philly, they send you home w/ boxes of Tastycakes. I’m not a stockholder, but my friends is and comes home w/ lots of goodies after those meetings. Problem is, their annual meeting is in late April/early May.
