Super cute, right?


The woman behind the pattern, Kimberly of A Tiny Forest, has generously agreed to join me for my Birthday Giveaways.

Wait, does my last comment count as "don't but am oddly intrigued" or "put my lunch in mason jars"? Is THIS comment disqualifying me? Help!

I LOVE the idea of lunch in mason jars! I just love mason jars altogether and the ticking fabric of the bags is fantastic!!!

I adore the Flower Handstitched pendant. It is beautiful and makes me wish I knew how to embroider.

Julie B. said...

I don't put my lunch in mason jars but am oddly intrigued by the idea. I would put the ingredients for something like an Asian Chicken salad, which would look really pretty and healthy.
