Little Good Things of 2021-- gallery!

I just love the coral…I, too, have a weird mix of zipper colors…I am going to have to experiment and be a bit more bold in not selecting matchy-matchy…

Yes, I have heard of the famous sprinkles sandwiches…I think it is wonderful and would make a great start for the day…I am eating a sweet bean cake from Japan with my coffee this morning and feeling great! lol

Oh goodness no! I vaguely remember someone posting those back in the day. What you might be remembering is I made a sandwich with sprinkles on it for April Fools one year. Good times.

Patty_o_furniture did that once. Sadly, I don’t think she migrated to LC.

I wonder what happened to so many of them…I remember her…and where is luckdragon and so many of the people I remember from the geezer swaps…funny, how certain things from the old site still bring up such fun crafting memories…I miss them

Right, Patty_o_furniture. I loved her funny video clips. Anybody know how to find her?

I tagged her in the final days of deadster. She said she was aware so hopefully she finds her way here eventually. :crossed_fingers:

Totally agree. The color is saturated enough that it’s not too pastel, which is my main color thing. (And the zipper is such a small part of it anyway that it probably wouldn’t have been a problem regardless. )

I almost joked in the original post that any sprinkle with a serving suggestion of “on bread” was a hit in my book. I’ll definitely have to try it with these. In the name of cultural appreciation, of course :wink:.

I got my gorgeous and generous parcel from @Immaculata his morning! I feel so spoiled!!

She sent an adorable vintage style bunny embroidery, a wonderful cross stitched pouch, two sweet mini markers, with a Charles Rennie Mackintosh card and all stuffed with lashings of tea in the cutest wrappers!

Close up of the stitchy goodness …

I especially love the geometric cross stitch, so pretty and cheery. So much patience and work in it too :heart: Thank you so much for a very happy package!!

I’m glad to see it has arrived at last!!

I had very different plans with the bunny but I had moved the pattern slightly while ironing it on, and the lines wouldn’t wash out! So I had to cover it. I have never coloured in embroidery at first, but I think I may try it again. I felt bad for sending out a bit late so I decided to throw in the little zipper pouch as well. Hope you will like the tea! I bought them just because they looked so pretty… :smiley:

I love that the bunny is vintage but the pouch looks very modern and yet both go together well with those lovely colors! Those tea wrappers are very cute!

Everything is so cheery! Is the embroidery crayon tinted? It looks lovely.

Yes I think so, did you use crayon @Immaculata?

Such a sweet package, it really makes me smile! And I tried some of the tea and it’s lovely :coffee: :heart:

Yes it’s crayon! It’s just what I happened to have.

Cultural appreciation accomplished! More or less; I suspect whole wheat isn’t the traditional bread choice here, but it’s what I had.


Also, I just want to highlight that the sprinkles 1) actually taste like chocolate & not just sugar and 2) came in a box WITH A SPOUT.

Oh, and after @jemimah posted I realized I’d photographed the markers upside down :woman_facepalming:t2:

Thanks again, @Immaculata!
