Friday night found me eating at Irma's.... an old Houston establishment...

hidden away a couple of blocks from the ballpark...

which we walked to...

we went with friends and had a great time.

The Astros beat the Mets. It was a great game. The Astros swept the Cardinals last week, too! However, the Mets won the games Saturday and Sunday...

I did inform Nell Hill's about the broken piece on my birdcage hanging.

They called me.

They sent me an autographed book..with a note to me!

And.... they returned my $20 shipping charge!

Isn't that the best?!

They have free shipping through the end of September if you want to check them out.

Anna's envelope arrived full of her banners for the Joy Jingle Banner Swap I'm hosting!

She put a lot of time into my envelope! I ALWAYS love that!

Do you have a favorite coffee mug? I borrowed this cup from here.

Wings and More!

Just some little sneak peeks at pages for a QB5 Swap! We each have a small book to be worked in. These are pages for Margaret's book on Things with Wings! Below is what my sister-in-law brought me for my birthday last weekend. Yes, my birthday was in May....but I just now saw her. And, yes, they are from Anthropologie! A bird pitcher/duck pitcher! And two tea towels with birds on them and one has pom-pom fringe!!!! Have you seen these bags at Target? They're in school supplies! They are basically pencil bags....but I'm sure I need them!

Getting showered!

I stitched this little hanging last week for my future daughter-in-law.

It served as a gift tag on my gift at Saturday's shower.

So thought I should show you.

I just kind of drew it and stitched...turned out okay.

The wedding is obviously...in September....

Here are the 5 hostesses in the back with family that arrived early in the front!

So you've been warned....

wedding and pre-wedding photos

are going to start showing up more here for awhile....

...and before you ask -

the gift with the flower on the front of

the long package... was from BFF Virginia,

whose work has been exhibited

here in the past.

Mail from a special friend

There are those amongst you that realize I have a

bird obsession.

I am so thankful for you

and

for the fact that you find it healthy to feed this obsession.

You send me quality sustenance!

Margaret found this book...

she lives in Switzerland...

and apparently English books are

not greatly sought after!

The book is in perfect condition.

Here are a few pages for you to lust after.

I am sure I will be traipsing over

to Kinko's with my book one day soon to

color copy the entire thing -

probably

several times!

Don't you love the black and white drawings in the background! I was so excited and so surprised when this arrived!

Thank you, Margaret!!
