Once upon a summer, there were two bloggers. One liked to tinker while the other liked to sew. After many comments admiring each other's handiwork the bold tinkerer uttered the magical words ...
Would you like to swap some of your hearts for some of my clothespins?
The two friends happily agreed to send each other packages once the busy-ness of the season began to wane. And they did.
Here is what I received today from the very dear and multi-talented Claudia at Mockingbird Hill Cottage.
~ SWOON ~
Claudia packaged everything like a dream. Pinks and blues, prettiest papers, and sweet surprises!
~ SIGH ~
Receiving this was a real bright spot in a very worrisome day. My six year-old spent the day at the ER for breathing problems due to an upper respiratory infection. He is fine and home now. Thanks so much also to Sharon for being such a sweetie while I was online and nervous.
I truly adore it all!
I think I shall name the little figure Millie for Mockingbird Hill. What do you think?
And the friends blogged happily ever after ...

So sorry that I am getting to you a day late and a dollar short for Pink Saturday. Seems like the day just got away from me.
The sun was out in the afternoon and all day today, so with all the rain we've had, I went outside to play.
As always, it is a pleasure to come here to see what you are sharing and what you've been up to during the week. Thanks so much for making my weekend all ♥Pink and Pretty♥
