As well as the kind and encouraging comments, the new friendships and the inspiration another perk has definitely been the fun mail.

This week I got the most gorgeous mushroom pot holder from the lovely Laurel at Miss Muggins. I made her daughter a seal t'shirt and she made me a pot holder, what fun! Thanks so much Laurel!

Today I got this gorgeous skirt, some cute apple fabric, mushroom stickers and a bumblebee peg that I won in a giveaway at Claire at Little Tweetheart's blog. Thanks so much Claire, Miss Pepper has claimed it all and loves it.

For some reason she wanted to have a nap with it all.

And this wonderful book came from Peta Jane at Sewing the Seeds of Love when I commented on her post about it.

We are looking forward to potato harvesting time when we can make our own potato family. Thanks Peta Jane!

I hope you find some fun mail in your letter boxes this week.
