Good Things

Fit for Royalty

August 12, 2010

You won't believe what I received in the mail this week! I came home from running errands, and there on the counter sat a package. A package from France. From France! It's not every day a girl gets a package from France!

I eagerly opened it up and found the most wonderful surprises, all from an extraordinary stitcher and seamstress – Sandrine!

First, she had found a pair of jeans and made them into a super cute tote…

Now check out what was inside the super cute jean tote…

Btw, can you believe all of these lovelies are stitched OVER ONE??

Now check this out… Sandrine also made a stitching necessaire, and here's the back of it:

You can imagine my surprise when I unrolled it!

Wow!! All those little crowns… the lovely pink thread rings (there are actually 4 of them) and the 2 embroidery hoops… those beaded pins at the top… everything is outstanding! And take a look at what I found inside one of the little linen pockets…

A thimble! (Mom, don't even start in on me about how I need to give the thimble to you since you quilt wayyyy more than I do, bc if Sandrine wanted you to have a thimble, then she would have sent you a thimble. Right, Sandrine?)

Get ready for the grand finale… the front!

AMAZING!!!!

(I'm still speechless at all the over-one stitching!)

Sandrine, I cannot thank you enough for your kind generosity. I am truly honored that you would share your talent and creativity with me in this way. You are so very thoughtful, and I wish there was a way to express my thanks to you. What a beautiful gesture this was, and I am in awe!

And now I need your email address, bc I don't have it! 🙁

Merci, merci, merci beaucoup!
