Who knew the Easter Bunny used the USPS?

I got a fun little package full of *goodness* from Miss Rebecca on Saturday! She sent a darling little crocheted duckie just for Maren, ribbon for the stash (remind me to show you my ribbon holders some time), a cute little pen, an Easter bunny rubber stamp, a fabulous piece of fabric that I simply adore, a Gooseberry Patch recipe book,and a set of tiny painted eggs that are just itching to be hung on some little branches! She also sent one other goodie but it's so cool it deserves its own post. :) Thanks, Rebecca!

Thank you all for the sweet birthday and well wishes for Miss Maren. I went to get her out of her crib this morning and noticed that her left eye was almost completely swollen shut! Immediately I worried that the pink eye had come back with a vengeance, even though it seemed to have cleared up. I got her in to see the doctor and her opinion was that it was actually an allergic reaction of some type, rather than an infection like pink eye. I have no idea what Maren could have reacted to but I've been giving her Benadryl to see if I can get the swelling down. Maren doesn't seem to be bothered by it one bit, which is a relief! Now if I can just get her cough and runny nose cleared up, we'll be set.

I was hoping to make a field trip to Hammond's Candies this afternoon to get some of these yummies, but by the time Maren woke up from her nap and ate lunch we couldn't have made it in time. I think instead we'll go first thing in the morning. I'm trying to watch how much junk I eat so I'll have to exercise massive restraint, but I'm also hoping to pick up some pretty candies for the Vintage Kitchen and Pink & Green swaps that I'm doing. I'll report back with my loot tomorrow!
