Christmas In August!

Don't you find that when something

wonderful and unexpected

comes in the mail 

 it feels like 

Christmas?

Well on Monday a parcel arrived.

I had been told something was coming

but I didn't know what it was.

Look at this SWEET wrapped bundle!

Notice the bee's?

Look at that bow with the buttons

and the striped string...

isn't that something!

This parcel was sent to me by my 

wonderful blogging friend

Beverly 

who's blog is called

Bee Haven Acres-Tails From The Farm

Bev not only lives on a BEE-UTIFUL

farm but she lives in a new log house

AND also has a 200+ year old log house

on their beautiful farm in 

central Pennsylvania.

They have horses, goats, cats, dogs,

mini horses, turkeys, chickens

and I can't remember what else.

You should see her veggie garden!

As if she isn't busy enough 

she also has another blog

Touch Of The Past Aprons

Where she makes the

sweetest aprons!

This is only the tip of the iceberg!

I hope you'll pop on over to Bev's...

you won't be disappointed

I promise.

:) 

Here's a closer look at the wrapping paper.

Perfect considering this is coming 

from the

Bee Haven Maven!

See the little bee's  

Bev stamped on the outside

of the package :)

THIS is what was in the package!

Yes Bev made this apron JUST for me.

Bev has an old apron that is

about 50 years old that I really liked

so she drew up a pattern from it

and made this.

For me!

Isn't this a beauty!

Look at the back...

it's PERFECT!

As most of you know 

it get's HOT here in Kansas

and when I'm working outside

in an apron that ties snug around my

waist it get uncomfortable.

This apron is perfect because 

I don't have to tie it tight 

because it goes over

my head

and the extra piece

keeps the ties

in place!

And here it is being

put to work.

THANK YOU 

BEV!
