Happy Friday! Today, I am sharing a couple of Mother's Day gifts. The girls and Benjamin know how much I love squirrels, so they gave me these sweet iron critters.

    The little cast iron squirrels are beyond cute and I adore your Sun Bonnet Sue hankie. I have a rather large vintige hankie collection that was left to me by my grandmother. May be I can get around to sharing it with you next week.

  5. Cute stuff! I saw some vintage squirrels at a thrift store today. I thought about buying them but didn't know where I'd put them and they looked a bit fragile to put outside.

  6. Hi, Kelli - I love the squirrels the best! Aren't they adorable animals? We don't really have any...Well, we have ground squirrels in the mountains, but they look more like prairie dogs. I miss all the squirrels back East. Love to feed them corn (but hate how they stole the bird seed!!). Rascals!!

    Have a great day!

  31. Oh my goodness Kelli, I have a something just like your Sunbonnet Sue hankie in yellow or blue (now I can't remember)... although mine is a bit thicker and looks like it was meant to be a wall hanging.

    Looks like you received some wonderful gifts full of love.

    I'm sharing my growing belly, and I talked about the shirt just to make sure I was following all the rules.

    Have a wonderful weekend!

  35. Those squirrels are super cute!

    I feel a little weird, as I barely know you, but I thought I should tell you that I gave you an award on my blog. Your paper-crafting posts have been very inspiring for me, as I'd been in a bit of a crafting funk. So, thanks!

    Also, I thought of you as I read the paper this morning. The Dallas Morning News mentioned the Etsy Dallas Spring Bash that goes on in Dallas this Saturday. Had to check the list (bashvendors.blogspot.com) to see if you were on it!

  38. Your cute squirrel figurines remind me of the ones I see about in my back yard.
    The hankie is so lovely. I've never seen a hankie with so much embellishment on the corner.

  40. How sweet! I should post about what my DH gave me. It is a sea turtle necklace..which was special since we got to see the baby rescued sea turtles released to the ocean last year.

    Love your little squirrels!

  42. Those squirrels are adorable.

    The vintage hankie is great. I do wish I learned how to crochet when I was younger.

    Thanks for sharing.

    God bless.

  43. Love that little hankie. Can you imagine putting that much work into a hankie? Whew....times have sure changed. My grandmother had crocheted edges on all of her sheets, towels and washcloths. Unbelievable. I used them until they were way too pooped out because I loved them so much.

    Blessings and smiles,
    Spencer
