recovery kit

when things got tough recently. kels made me my very own recovery kit.

* a lovely hardware toolkit. for all the quilting bibs and bobs. genius.
* some pins so I won't keep stealing hers.
* some lovely ribbon. which my daughter will steal. no doubt.
* a selection of vintage buttons. from her very special jar. sigh.
* one packet each maltesers and smarties. necessities.
* some delectable patchwork fabric. another sigh.
* the horse whisperer. jane austen regrets. for lounge lying.
* a scrummy candle. soap. toile pillowcase. more sighing.
* material obsession book two. swoon.
* hand picked tear sheets with recommendations on what to do. buy. visit.
* my very own deer mug. see next point.
* and pictures of deer antlers. yes. i have a thing about deer antlers. above a fireplace. surrounded by falling snow. in some divine ski lodge. {preferably in the canadian rockies. because once a canadian. always a canadian.} she doesn't get it at all. but don't you love how she respects my foolish desire and tears out the pictures anyway? true love.

ps. they must be faux deer antlers. of course.

so there you have it.
don't you think it the swellest gift?
i know i do.
