Jackie,
I received your package yesterday. Wonderful fun!!
All individually wrapped in different colored glittered tissue paper. I didn't open them in order because I was busy ripping them open .
There was an amazing yo-yo Doll with at least 20 different sized yo's. Her eyes are sparkly blue crystal stars. Her dress and hat has wonderful detail ( since it will likely not photograph as pretty as it is.)
A rainbow of Embroidery thread. A package of pea Seeds for my fall/winter garden- YES!
Dried Eucalyptus leaves and a little bag for a Sachet. Packages of green Lemon tea.
An awesome 4" China plate with an Irish 'Blessing' for my display shelf.
And a Shilly shally. From MaryJanes Idea Book. This one can be used as a lovely table cloth topper. Jackie used cloth pens to draw different flowers with botanical names. The drawings are so well done, that I thought it was embroidered!
Thank you Jackie. This swap gift was so fun. I love it.
Mary.

What is a Shilly shally?

According to MJF Idea book, it was a name she came up with for a 3 ft square piece of cotton- decorated I think.
Dictionary defines word Shilly-shally meaning something of little known use -- Like some would ask: "what IS it ??"
Why, it's a Shilly-shally of course. Often used for a catch all name for most anything. Mine will be a table cloth topper.!!
I think from now on all my Mail Art will be called Shillly-Shally's! It's mine, I created it, don't know what you might use it for, but ain't it lovely!!
LOL! Love the word!!!

My Goodness Amy, I am so blessed! Thank you so much for the amazing and very thoughtful Farmgirl Dreams package you sent me:
You may see the L card came loose and I guessed incorrectly on which package it went on, Oops. :)
B is for Bath: Bath salts, body butters and a knitted body scrubby.
B is also for Bonita: How sweet of you to send something for my doggie daughter! As you can see the bandana looks totally adorable on her, and she has already enjoyed half of the treat!
L is for light: a Magic Candle!
E is for Eye mask: Oh my word, I adore this, did you make it?
S is for Sweet Dreams Tea and fidget: I have to admit that I have never heard of a fidget, but now that I have this adorable one you made, I realize I really needed this!
S is for Save your Dreams: An adorable journal with beautifully printed pages
E is for Enchanted Forest coloring book: WOW! This is so beautiful
D is for a Farmgirl Dream catcher: Made with beautiful farmgirl treasures, doilies, lace, buttons, beads.

Hi Doris,
I just got by box about five minutes ago! Love the little box, the socks are perfect as I am always cold. Love the burlap envelope, so cute! Your package brightened my day! The little metal pieces will be used for a fairy door.
thank you so much
