OH Happy Day!

My first shipment of wine... Click HERE to go to the website I got this wine from. It was seriously a steal and I had to only pay $10 for shipping. You won't be disappointed.

Thread anyone?

I finally was at Hobby Lobby and got a vase to display (some of) the wooden spools of thread that came with my grandma's sewing machine. I love them so much! And the thread seems much sturdier than what is made today, of course. And yes I am that neurotic and separated out the colors before I filled the vase. I knew I should have gotten the bigger vase...
