FROM PATRICE A

Received from Patrice A. in Holland, September 2012.

I feel so honoured, as Patrice have send the most beautiful letter full of amazing treasuries.

Patrice is an artist, interior designer and illustrator. Her blog Patrice A. is so beautiful.

My fantastic letter from Patrice. I love everything in it, from the printed sparrow, to the feathers to the ...

Like me Patrice collects feathers and I like to take close-up photos to see the structures.

Tags with bees and pretty embroidery yarns in nices shades of greens. Together with a nice printed card, made by Patrice.
She loves the sea, the smell, the colors of it and of the dunes; the grey, the greyish blue and the greyish green, as the colors of the embroidery thread. 

Pretty mother of pearl buttons.   

 A sweet printed sparrow on canvas linen fabric, together with a cross stitch cross.

I'm so in love with the pinned-holes. Patrice have made this one for me on a square piece paper, her favorite format.

Dear Patrice, thank you for your amazing letter. There are so many treasuries in it, not easy for me to choose one as my favorite, but I have hang the printed sparrow on my studio wall.
