Oregon's State flower actually is an evergreen shrub with holly-like leaves. It's called the Oregon Grape, unrelated to actual grape vines. It sprouts tiny yellow flowers.  it's a little underwhelming.

A lovely giftbag in mail today from Lisa. I received pretty cocktail napkins, a beautiful tassled bookmark, and a lovely smelling bar of scented soap.

I received my flower package today from Fleur--how exciting! I found several kitchen-themed items (dishtowels, potholders, decorated cleaning gloves--so cute!-- and sponges) all in lovely flower patterns. Even the personal note and outside packaging were decorated. Thank you, Fleur, for these very thoughtful gifts that are almost too pretty to use!

I mailed a package to Fleur  today and sent her the tracking number.

 

Sending a big thank you to Regina! Her package arrived today.

It's  a very pretty mint green and flowered garden tool tote with my initials on it..  The tag is a unique flower cutout.

This has been a fun swap,thank you Fleur for hosting.

Got a really cute hot container cozy from Carol. That'll really come in handy. And thanks also for the flower bookmark. Appreciate it. Have a great June.
