Surprise gift from Italy AND My WIP

Hi, today was a super mail day!
I was busy going for shopping to the craft shop to frame and make mats for Birth Samplers, etc...
And after shopping I went to Preschool to pick up Tass, and when went back home, there was a puffy envelope from Italy in the mail box!
It was from my dear friend Chiara (no blog)!
She told me that she sent me something earlier, but it was quite fast so I was surprised!

I jumped and run into the home with Tass and opened the envelope.
Look, there was this stunning small zipper bag for me and inside it there was Gloriana silk!
How beautiful this bag is! The flower print stands out like real flower!

And this is the back side, it's also so beautiful, isn't it?
I love both sides very much, and you know this is her work!!
She is a mosaic artist and also she works for making bags!!
I admire of her works so much, and she is a very charming lady and I love her!

Inside of the bag, there is her webshop's tag.
She has her own web shop "BISYBEE" and you can find many of her wonderful works there!
I added this banner (below) on the left side bar on my blog, so you can visit her webshop whenever you want!

Thank you so much, lovely Chiara!
I really appreciate for your warm heart!

And I also received my super stash from USA (e-bay), and Tass received some books his dad, it was a car encyclopaedia... lol, I should be asked SO many times from him "Lookie, mummy, look, look, what is this car???
I know what would happen... it will never stop, whew...

By the way, I finished stitching BOAF's cat, so I was looking for something to stitch next.
And I found this "Quaker Garden" in my WIP file, and suddenly I felt like stitching this very much somehow!

The last post of this stitch was "June 26, 2007" (above), almost 2.5 years ago? wow...
It's not WIP, it was UFO, lol...

I don't know why I left this for so long, it's so much fun to stitch now!
I'm going to keep stitching this and want to finish this!!
I already asked how much would it cost me if I framed this with sample.
Uhmmm.... I think about it, but I want to let this in the nice frame!

It would be very beautiful!!!
I will also ask online frame shop about the cost.
(Sorry for the wrinkled fabric...)
