~ Sympathy Card and Valentine Craft Kit ~

a simple card with sympathy.

this past week comes to a sad close. a friend of ours passed from this life to the next; a mother, leaving her three little boys behind.

This little card was made for her family, as we have no words except that we're praying for them... somehow "with sympathy" didn't sound right for the front, so this little sentiment did the job.



 well... on a lighter note., I want to leave this with you for the weekend:


A bundle of shabby crimson goodness for valentines, or any-times.

so many delicious things in the bundle -- five heart-print kraft paperbags -- two handmade, stitched doily pockets -- two manila tags with cherry baker's twine bows -- ten tea-dyed and baked mini tags (freshly brewed today in the kitchen!!)



 -- more than twelve inches each of vintage trim, polka-dotty brown ribbon, and red ribbon trim -- five tea-dyed posy flowers -- three mini clothespins -- two shabby silver trinket charms -- two vintage-red posy appliques -- two heart trinket pins --


... so many lil things to pick apart and enjoy.if you like 'em, I'll make some more...


.. and you can find them here ...

Thank you so very much, to each of you for leaving you kind words here each time you visit...


xoxo,
