I had a really great Christmas this year.
Today I'd like to share three especially thoughtful
presents that I received.
This first one is from my dear and thoughtful friend Judy,
who moved to the south a while back.
She is a regular reader of this blog and knows how much
I love birdie stuff.
It's a metal bird themed 4-set of painted stone coasters.
I REALLY love it!
The next one is an amazing set of handmade felted
woolen mittens made from old thrift sweaters
given to me from my eldest daughter.

Aren't they awesome?!?
I sure wish I could hand them to you
to place on your hands to fell how
rich, full, soft and warm these mittens are to wear!
They are coming in very handy with the nasty cold snap
we're experiencing right now!

I don't believe it is a coincidence
that mine are made of
that mine are made of
OSU Buckeye colours!
She also made a black pair for my DH, but I can never remember to have him leave them long enough to take a photo of them!
Evelyn, you amaze me with your incredible handiworks!
Not only are they well made, and practical -
but done frugally and GREEN.
You make your momma proud!
And last-but-not-least I received this nifty simple hand-made
metal nutcracker from my DH, who made it out of old metal springs.
He is a corporate guy by day and blacksmith by night - and it always making something neat or useful for our home out of reclaimed steel!
It looks right at home in a old stone tray along with a vintage wooden nut server and a few wintry looking pips thrown in for some pizzazz.
As always, thank you for stopping
by the Nest at Finch Rest!
Hugs!
