This last one is a birthday present for a dear friend. She left college and is working in Anapolis as a nanny. That is so brave and new places can be so lonely and I'm such a fan of her. I got her a kitchen towel because she loves cooking, because it was cute, and because it symbolized to me that we're growing up and making our own homes in the world. 




Isn't the towel cute! Anyway, her birthday was 10 days ago, but I'm usually late to birthdays. Have a wonderful Thursday!
