I was reading my friend, Gerry's, blog the other day all about the birds and such she can see through her window while she is stitching. I'll admit to being quite jealous. Here on the prairie, trees are scarce and most birds have too much sense to hang around here. A couple times a year I do see activity through my window though, and yesterday was one of those days.

And yes, those are two actual cowboys moving them along with the help of a very well trained border collie. A little local colour! LOL

This is an antique sewing box - I could not resist it when I saw it for sale! Were you able to guess the item from the sneak peek earlier in the week?

To enter, visit my Etsy shop and then come back and leave me a...
