Happy May Day! Spring is in full swing here, the roses, jasmine and honeysuckle have filled the air with their sweet fragrance, and I've got a basket of flowers for you! The new May Flower Trivets are your gift with purchase this month. You can see more pictures of them here.

The sunny days and profusion of flowers have put me in the mood to fill my Garden Basket with seeds, grab my trowel, and go play outside. Want to make one, too? The Garden Basket is on sale here this week. By the by, this in-the-hoop tote will make the sweetest gift for Mom!

In other news, Hurricane Spooky hit the Southern Coast hard this week. The Charmings fled from danger as the Wishing Well and Cottages were destroyed. Although flooded, the Castle continues to stand. In a surprising turn of events, the Princess Privy survived the destruction.

Hurricane Spooky and I have playing with the new Cobblestone Court, and I hope to write the instructions for this awesome play mat this week! We've been a little too distracted with village arrangements, and we're waiting for a big shipment of wool felt to arrive so we can get kits made for you!

If you haven't made the Castle yet, it's on sale this week! This super sturdy castle has a drawbridge that can be lowered over the moat, a portcullis that raises, a beautiful ballroom floor with French doors that open to the courtyard in the back, a sweet tower bedroom, and lots of windows. You can find it here, and click here to find the darling Charmings by A Bit of Stitch!

Our fingers are crossed that your wool felt arrives soon!

Until next time,

Shelly and Hurricane Spooky
