Thanks, Laurie!

Laurie of Old School Acres had a drawing on her birthday, and this is the box of surprises that *she* sent to *me*.  How amazing is all that stuff?!

I LOVE the gigantic stuffed acorn. All the vintage jewelry is gorgeous, especially the bejeweled blue birds.  The background is vintage linens, and I love the embroidered peacock on the right one.  I have a vague idea about crocheting something onto existing clothes, and that novelty trim would come in handy for starting things off (it's got a picot border on one edge of the bias tape).

If you haven't already seen her blog, totally take a look.  She's talented, creative, and funny as all get out.  She's had me singing sweater pig instead of "spider pig" for weeks now.

Thanks, Laurie!

Anything that can change in your mind the viral influence of the "spiderpig" song is powerful ju-ju, indeed. "Can he swing from a web? No he can't, he's a pig." Crap. No, that will be the unavoidable soundtrack for my day, unless I manage to replace it with "The Barry Gibb Talk Show" theme.

How lovely - what a thoughtful gift! My fave is the peacock. I spend hours in charity shops, but they so rarely yield treasures like these.

I love those little blue birds as well! I have to set aside a thrifting day sometime in the near future, I think.
