Sitting on our back porch today was a box from San Luis Obispo, California. It brought along bright sunny skies, but unfortunately left the warm California temperatures, flowers and green grass behind.
But, the most important things that came along with the box were some wonderful gifts from a blogger friend ~ my very first! Do you know Kary at My Farmhouse Kitchen blog? She has a delightful and delicious blog - along with sweet Teddy. Please stop by and see her wonderful blog!
The other day Kary posted about knitting dish rags in her kitchen. I just loved their simplicity and functionality and asked her if she was selling them. Kary wrote back and said that she wanted to give them to me as a gift - it was the sweetest offer!
Kary included a sweet little note on Becky Kelly stationary in her package to let me know that one of the dish rags had a mistake right in the middle because her dog Teddy had grabbed it - she had mentioned in her posting that Teddy loves to grab her ball of yarn and run with it while she's knitting - Teddy sounds like he's a bundle of energy - but so adorable - you can see a picture of Teddy on Kary's blog. The mistake is barely visible, but I think of Teddy every time I look at that particular rag!
I'm using these adorable little dish rags as large coasters under several things in my kitchen - my electric kettle, and two large antique pottery fruit bowls. These sweet little knitted squares slide easily when we slide the bowls or kettle over the counters - preventing any scratching. They are too pretty for me to use as rags - but that's me - LOL!
To make things even more wonderful, Kary included several delicious items in her package - perfect for an afternoon tea here at Frog Hollow Farm.
So, thank you so much Kary for your generous gift - it was such a sweet gesture!
Ciao, bella!!
