My friend Grace arrived from Australia last night.  At first she pretended she was a little shy.  It took quite a bit to convince her to take off her coat and hat.

But by the end of the night, she was being her outgoing self, and was having a blast playing UNO with Ernest.  She beat him by 37 points.

Grace must have brought a little of the Australian summer with her because today it was 60 degrees in Philadelphia.  No joke.  It was beautiful!

Grace was sent to me by Jodie at Vintage Ric Rac.  I won her 100th post giveaway.

Grace herself is amazing, but everything that came with Grace (see my Flickr) just totally blows me away.  She has two toys (one is a pink sock monkey!), two reverseable dresses, a cardigan, a wool swing coat with one red button, a hat and scarf, adorable pjs, and a quilt made of vintage chenille.  Everything is impressively and impeccably made.  I'm so completely overwhelmed!  It's amazing.  Thank you, Jodie!
