How did you know that I wanted one of these? They’re right up my alley in terms of style and color. Thank you so much, and I’ll forward you my address
I do love those Recycled Silk Placemats too. I’ve knitted with some of that recycled silk sari yarn, and it’s so pretty. I’d be afraid to drip food on them.

Those bags are so beautiful. I especially love the greens…I can’t help it, I love green. The 3d clown car puzzle put a smile on my face. I might have to bookmark that one for my mom’s birthday…she drives a VW beetle and she’d get a kick out of that. Now excuse me while I window shop on their site for an hour or so!
