Monthly Odd Holidays - April

[llisaredd]

O, beware, my lord, of jealousy;
It is the green-ey'd monster, which doth mock
The meat it feeds on. That cuckold lives in bliss,
Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger:
But O, what damnèd minutes tells he o'er
Who dotes, yet doubts, suspects, yet strongly loves!

I get to post first! It's going to be a happy, happy April here at the 'Coo house, as we celebrate the holidays with these wonderful swap items from the awesome Ms. LimeRiot (despite Quigley's best efforts to foil her!)

First, April is Atlanta Food & Wine Month. LimeRiot sent me two gorgeous wine bottle bags (I love the colors!) and six wine glass coasters that slip over the base of your glass. These are so colorful and fun. I can't wait to use them. She also included a great wine stopper that her uncle made. It's so pretty! We are going to have a great Food & Wine month!


Next, to help celebrate National Card and Letter Writing Month, LimeRiot made this handy dandy card/stationary/pen/supplies organizer. It's so well made. I love the black and white fabric with the deep red. She even included some postcards, stationary, and little gift cards (you can just see them poking out of the pockets at the bottom.


And, for my last holiday of choice, No Housework Day (April 7, but should be celebrated constantly!): this adorable dust bunny! Aw, he can join all the other dust bunnies we've been growing under the furniture! Look how cute:


I tried to take another picture of him, but that little rascal was last seen skittering under the table!


LimeRiot, thank you so much for this wonderful package of goodies. I appreciate all the thoughtfulness and hard work you put into it! I'll be sending your package out soon. I hope you like it at least half as much as I like yours!

Those are awesome! I am now inspired to make a thingie of some sort for my cards and letters! It had never occured to me to try to organize them.

I loves the dust bunnie too <3 I want one! One like that, not one of the yucky fuzzy ones I grow.

And lastly, I adore the fabric for the wine bottle bags and coasters. They're so pretty!

Great start to the gallery

[beckashell]

Such clever ideas! The dust bunny is so funny. And i've never seen wine glass coasters before - such a great idea.

[LimeRiot]

Yahoooooo! I'm glad everything made it safe and sound and I'm especially pleased to hear that you like your goodies. I really had so much fun making everything - especially the dust bunny .

I can't wait to see what everyone else has come up with!

[jexxican]

That is a great organizer. I'ma hafta make one for meself. What? Organize? Nah, just throw everything in drawer and it'll be fine! BAH! That thinking needs to stop. I missed "Organize your home office day" already though (March 9th) so...

[thingsivemade]

Wow, what an awesome package to receive! The lil dust bunny is so cute! He made me laugh, especially his escaping picture!
I love the stationary organiser as well, superbly made! I really like the pattern.

Oh and the wine bags et al are also very pretty

 I'm so glad Quigley didn't eat these!
