Day 62
Here are some closer pics of the quilt handmade by the girls Great Great Grandmother...I could only wish for my hand stitches to be this good
Even the quilting in the white parts is all hand done. And can you imagine piecing stitching this thin like the stems? Truly a gem.
The girls and I love going to the Dollar Store and getting fake flowers in the colors of the season....so we purchased quite a few and then created a centerpiece for our kitchen island.
The glass jar is full of marbles and fortunes collected over the more than 13 years my husband and I have been together.
Inside the large blue jar I put fossilized coral. Way back when I went to university for Paleontology I regularly went to hunt fossils in the spoil piles of the phosphate mines in Florida....so a lot of my fossils are from an ocean more than 1.4 million years old! The curvy coral outside the jar is modern, not a fossil. SIGH I miss the beach and try to put a little bit of it back in every room in my home as a reminder.
