Feeling Better

Thank you, everyone, for leaving all the wonderful get well messages on my last post. It's so nice to know that you're sending good wishes my way! And look! They worked!
The fevers are gone, and although I'm still hacking away, I'm not as wiped out as I was. Happily, I'm feeling better.
So, I thought I'd post about a package I received.
I won Jillayne's giveaway of a handmade tissue holder.

 I tucked a package of tissues into the holder as soon as I opened the package. Isn't it pretty? And I love the decorative silver button.
But Jillayne tucked in a few extra goodies.
                                                         












 a horseshoe charm, a wing charm and a heart button were hidden in a small fabric bag with a set of calendar cards
a lovely card with a nice note






Tissue paper wrapped and tied with a 'peace' button revealed a fantastic surprise!

Now, all you tatters, no drooling on your keyboards! See this lovely tatted doily?  According to Jillayne, this piece came from Dawson City, and it is believed to date back as far as, or close to, the Gold Rush!!
Wow! A Tatting Piece of History!
I can only imagine who made such a fine piece, how it was used, and by whom. The tatting is very delicate, and looks to be made from thread comparable to size 80.
It's gorgeous, and I shall treasure this doily. Thank you, Jillayne, for entrusting it to my care.
                                                                                                      

You can see in the picture that each tatted circle is the size of a quarter!

This package certainly brightened my day!









I hope you are all well and enjoying some sunshine.
Thanks for visiting.
