For all those who have been with me for at least two years you'll probably remember that last time I was in Cincinnati I was kidnapped by two friends - Gina and Gail. Well this time another kidnap was arranged after we all got back from the ocean holiday (known as the 'holiday in a holiday'). Unfortunately due to a last minute work crisis Gail couldn't join us so poor Gina had to put up with me on her own.
Well we all know Gina as a kind and generous soul who is extremely generous with her gifts, her time and her knowledge. Here's a lovely picture of her surrounded by sunflowers which I feel reflect her sunny nature. Actually we talked our socks off and this is the only picture either of us got on the day and this was as she was leaving me!!!!
Here's her version of the day! It was a wonderful time - she led me beautifully astray in Hobby Lobby and Michaels but unfortunately we couldn't get into Jo-Ann's as it was closed!!! However Gina introduced me to her favourite book place too!!!
This lass is extremely generous and she gave me this box full of goodies. I'm only showing you a few as the rest are still awaiting photographing!!!! First the box which came home full of treasures!!
Now just SOME of the 'goodies'!!! Can you see the cushion there on the right? The tatting on it is exquisite. I've been looking for Gina's post about it but can't find it - jet lag hasn't left me yet and sleep hasn't returned to normal. Think I need to tat in front of the telly tonight!!!! That'll put me to sleep!!!!!
Tomorrow I'll show you the bell she gave me.

Amazing that I'm not wilting given the very hot temperatures that day! It really was great to see you again.
Sounds like you had a lovely time, and those beautiful presents given to you are lovely, what a lovely little cushion, look forward to seeing the next lot of photos.

I HAVE THAT BOOK! That is so exciting. I think it's the first book I've seen posted on any of your blogs that I actually own! My mom had it for the crochet. I use it for the tatting. So fun! And it sounds like your time was wonderful. Look forward to seeing the many treasures!
