Are you sure it didn't accidentally find it's way into your car?? =) What a delightful visit you seemed to have had. That little patchwork shop looks like a magical place filled with boundless treasures. Ooooh.....those cookie cutters and THAT tin!! Now....if I was to visit you those pretties would definitely end up in my bag. They look perfect on that fabulous bread tin and a perfect 'prop' near that fabulous coffee maker of yours. Red is such a cheery colour. Love your felt candle mat, it is so pretty and primitive. Have a beautiful weekend, lovely Julie.
