Pat's wonderful gift to you is awesome. Between you and Pat, you two know how to pack a mail gift. Love those inchies. I may just make a few, after seeing so many around lately.
ReplyDeleteLove your duck cup (say that three times fast). It goes so well with your tea post. And your lilacs are adorable. As I was telling Pat, I haven't seen any since I moved to Kansas. Thanks for this visual reminder of their beauty.
Happy Tea Tuesday.
V-e-r-y cool inchies! It never ceases to amaze me how much art can actually fit in 1 sq. inch! Lovely package, and your lilacs are so pretty! Hugs, Terri xoxo

ReplyDeleteGreetings Kimmie,
ReplyDeleteYour package from Pat is just wonderful and I marvel at all the inchie arts. Your Lilacs are beautiful and as I mentioned at Pats blog, mine hardly ever bloom and yet I love these flowers and their fragrance.
Your images are well executed and the lighting is very good.
Warmest regards,
Egmont
