I have SO much to tell you. The Bohemian Bliss event was amazing! I truly have a week’s worth of posts to share. Here is one small taste. I am with my sweet friend Mary of Sweetpeas and Snapshots. Yes, we had ALOT of fun! I am In A State Of Bliss.
In A State Of Bliss
I should be packing but I am blogging. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I leave tomorrow, bright and early, to go visit my grandmother. I posted a small sample of what I brought home last year and she has forewarned me to bring an empty suitcase this year. I am taking her a present. Do you want to see? (Click on the photo for a closer look.)
Last year “Grandma Jingles” gave me a tiny triangular piece of embroidery on silk from the Victorian era. The stitching on the back was beautiful as the front. I was told to “Do something with this.” So I thought for awhile and this is what I came up with:
Do you think she’ll like it?
Be well my friends and I shall return next week.
Well, I certainly love it! I know she will, too. What a lovely way to enjoy such a beautiful piece. Cannot wait to hear/see your weekend.
SHE WILL LOVE IT.
ENJOY YOUR VISIT.

You found the perfect thing to do with it! It looks beautiful! I would have never come up with something so perfect for it. Nice job!

That photo of the two of you is gorgeous and so is the cushion. Have fun with your grandmother. You are lucky still to have one, though I know you know were not that ‘lucky’ with all your relatives. I don’t have any grandparents anymore since I was 14 (long, long ago). Have a great week!
Bon voyage and keep scattering joy! Blessings.
Lovely fun picture! I love your outfit & the little hat so adorable and you girls rock!
Have a nice trip:)

Laura…you girls look amazing in all your sartorial splendor!
I hope you have a safe trip and I know your Grandmother is going to adore this pillow. How special!
Happy Travels!

That’s a lovely gift you’ve made for your grandma…she’s sure to eenjoy having it!
Your grandmother is a wise lady. She knew who to give that little treasure of a scrap of fabric to. She knew you would do right by it and you did.
Love the photo of you and friend enjoying yourselves!
Your Grandmother will be thrilled with the new cushion, it is lovely.
Yes, I can relate to blogging instead of what I am really meant to be doing
which is sewing drapes for our Sons bedroom.
Good luck with the packing and have a lovely time away.
Hugs

I’m sure your grandmother would enjoy anything you made but most of all, your company.
I am now caught up on your blog again. LOL! Love the pillow. I hope you and your grandmother are having a good time while downsizing her. I mean not her, her living situation. You know what I mean.
Oh, Laura, I am so glad you had such a lovely time! And that you got to just relax and enjoy after the stress of finals. And, She will love what you have done, I know it!!! Who wouldn’t? Be blessed and enjoy your time with your grandmother. such precious time…
Are you kidding, Laura??? Of course she will love it just as I am love, love, loving my beautiful jewelry bag and pin and ephemera!
You, my dear, are one sweetheart of a lady!
XO,
Sheila 🙂
Miss Laura…I adore you! I treasure my beautiful necklace you made me! I love our pic together…two Boho Chicks!
I can’t wait to spend more time with you!
XOXO Mary
I tried getting to your page, the usual way through Internet Explorer and I’m still receiving an error message and the page won’t display. This is the same thing that happened previously with another blog that I follow. I think it has something to do with some change in format or some element on your page that has changed since the last time I viewed it. I can only get to it via Firefox, which we only have at work. Hope whatever it is, is fixed so that I can still visit. 🙂
