FROM SASKIA

Received from Saskia in Holland, September 2012.

Saskia from knoopjes has send me the most beautiful letter. From her holiday in France where she has been camping with her husband
and two children in Britanny, she has been visiting fleamarkets. And so sweet of her she thought of me when buying some of the
treasures.

My beautiful letter full of treasures.
On her holiday Saskia manage to buy an old typewriter which has the most beautiful font.

A photo taken by Saskia and a pretty "fleur-de-lis" to the right. It's traditionally used to be put in the Kings Cake around the Christmas season.
The plate with the blue/white lines is stunning.

This little handmade thing, perhaps a button is the most beautiful piece in the letter. I'm totally in love with it and will now start to look
for these when visiting fleamarkets myself.

A pretty handmade Hedebo embroidery.

 From the beach, a pretty stone full of holes. I think it's wonderful and a good inspiration for new weaving structures.

Another moo lover like myself.

Dear Saskia, thank you so much for your wonderful letter.
I'm so in love with the little stone full of holes and the little blue/white handmade button, which is hanging in my studio now.

FROM JULIA

Received from Julia in Poland, July 2012.

I have got the most stunning and beautiful letter from Julia, full of nature treasuries. Her letter makes me so happy. The blog The Sheer Stories makes me longing for making lovely DIY projects or walking in the grass an early morning.

Love, love, love!!!
Pressed flowers and leaves, all part of her own personal collection. I feel so lucky.
In the top a little crochet flowers she has made herself.

Polypodium vulgare.

On an old postcard with polish children in the higher polish mountains called Tatry, some of the pressed flowers was sticked to the back. I love these flowers which you will see many of in the Spring.

An amazing little flower put inside a handmade piece of paper. And a leaf with a pretty skeleton of threads.
Dear Julia, thank you so much for your beautiful letter. Your Polypodium vulgare is hanging in my studio.

FROM JULIE.

Received from Julie in Holland, June 2012.

Julie has the amazing blog Daisies & Daffodils with the most pretty photos. I like to visit often.

She lives in Haarlem, close to Amsterdam. Today she is working in a bank, being creative with numbers. In her free time she likes to draw, do crochet, write letters and work on little projects. As she writes: "many ideas, only little time, always work in progress".

The envelope itself is a piece of art. I so much love the flowers.

This tiny little button Julie has sent me is so amazing, beautiful and pretty. I wish I had a lot. There is so much detail in the embroidery stitches. I would like to make some of these too.

Other buttons which is pretty together.

Julie’s boyfriend is from Portugal and every year they visit his family. The Portuguese stamps with a lot of details are fantastic. Some look like tiles.

The beautiful letter full of surprises from Julie.

Dear Julie, thank you so much for your letter. The tiny little embroidered button is already hanging on my hall.
