… my mystery treasures





I just love getting these little packages. . .




Small, yes. . . but very special . . .

Can you guess what's in it?

Here's a hint. . .



. . . & here are a couple more hints. . .




I'm teasing. . . I know. But I promise - I'll let you in on it. . .

Soon.


As for me. . . I just can't wait to get them open! (I also just love the little baker's twine they come wrapped in. . . I save each one!)




Here are home - the days have been full of more surprises. I haven't accomplished as much in the studio as I had hoped. I've been spending some unplanned time (is it ever?) in the hospital with my uncle. Uncle Bill is a sweetheart who's health is failing, & he's been taken to the hospital twice in the last two weeks. He's doing a little better. . . (& all the while endearing himself to all the nurses, techs, & doctors!) . . . but your prayers are ever so appreciated. He's home as of this afternoon. . . & we will be needing to make some decisions in the next week . . . But for now - I'm just so thankful that my schedule allows me to be pretty darn flexible. Something that I have learned. . . is a treasure indeed!

Hope you have have days that are filled with your own surprises & treasures!

xo, Bren

Sorry to hear about your uncle Bren. What a kind niece you are to be there for him.

Now...what's in that pretty package?

Keeping your Uncle Bill in my thoughts. Thank goodness for some flexibility in your days.

I've been the recepient of some "surprises in the mail" recently - they are fun, aren't they? Enjoy!

My prayers are with you, your family and your uncle. We are going through a similar situation with my inlaws, one who's in a home and one living with us. I can totally relate to the blessing of having a flexible schedule.

The fabric? I'm already drooling. Can't wait to see what's hiding underneath!

lots of us are in similar situations, so you're not alone.

love the package...first word begins with a D, and the last word is Flowers. anything with flowers is great, but like the rest i'm eager to see what's behind the wrapping.

(also love the quilt that it's sitting on!)
