While cleaning out my closet I found this not-so-rare and valuable-only-to-me tiny felted bag! I made it about a year ago and forgot about it. A cute blank canvas for needle felting!
I decided to test drive my Clover Needle Felting Appliqué Mold to see if I could make a flower for it. The flower turned out pretty good, but it’s awfully thick. Next time I won’t use as much roving in the mold.
Then I found another treasure. I bought it at a craft fair last Christmas and tucked it away in a kitchen drawer. It’s a gift card holder made with a vintage postcard in a clear plastic cover. I
t has a stamp and postmark on it-- it was sent from
Crabtree
, Oregon in 1910.
I can see a tiny bit of the letter inside, written in pencil and addressed to Martha in neat handwriting, but I can’t read too much of it without taking it apart.
Wouldn ’t this make a nice birthday present with a gift card from some place good, like Michael’s or Joann’s or a place that sells cupcakes?
Today really was a day for treasures. My Amazon.com order arrived:
And I saw a Great White Heron on an afternoon walk along the creek with my dad.
The birds were out in force at Almaden Lake.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring. Hope your weekend is full of treasures, too.

Wonderful pictures!
Ooohh. I want to see inside that book you got from Amazon! It looks intriguing.
You went for a walk with your dad? That's so nice.
Cute little mini-bag and the flower just makes it!
