Goodies in the Mail

So pretty...

Got the best package

from Martha Miller's etsy shop

 Brainstorm Studio

in the mail last week - saved it to open on 

Mother's Day

and it really was a wonderful little gift 

to give myself. 

Martha Miller and her daughter Lisbeth work 

together in their Maine studio.

I found them through Martha's blog (Martha Miller Art)

and I've loved her Etsy shop for quite some time...

This little art quilt (and the napkins below)

had me at hello. 

Four generations of women 

contributed to this piece.

The quilt was patched together from

fabric belonging to 

Martha's grandmother, her mother, herself and her daughter Lisbeth

So very appropriate for mother's day.

In fact, we ate dinner with it 

glowing beneath candlelight 

as our centerpiece

on Mother's day with 

three generations of women,

my mom, my two daughters, and myself

as we toasted my grandmother and great grandmothers. 

Admiring my beautiful new kitchen table centerpiece

my mother's day coffee was quite happy to be sitting there.

(in my favorite mug - painted by "E"

made by my sweet hubby and brought to me in bed

by two smiling and snuggly little girls -- the best way to wake up)

I did not take a photo at dinner -- I spent time with my family

instead of behind the camera.

You missed out on the quilt but you can 

still get some of her napkins!

Check out mine above...

(Garden Party Mandala Napkins)

such colorful cloth napkins

an artsy rainbow!  

Thank you Martha and Lisbeth

(and Martha's mama and Gramma)
