Stitch Marker Goodness

Alison was ahead of schedule in the Stitch Marker Swap. I received her package today at the same time as my Back-Tack goodies.

Sanrio's Little Twin Stars on the notepaper, and look at the attractive little package!

Alison is not only a talented crafter with a terrific blog, http://starlitnest.blogspot.com , she also owns her own yarn and fabric boutique, and boy, does it look like a wonderful place! http://luminousthreads.blogspot.com (She has Noro on sale through the end of July!) Her stitch markers came in her beautifully tasteful shop packaging:

It is hard to do stitch markers justice in photos, they are small, and as I mentioned before, if I have a macro setting on the Olympus I haven't found it yet. These are some beauties, they are simple and perfect. My favorite is the round agate, and there's also a lovely aqua glass drop, and a faceted pink/mauve swirly glass one. Thank you, Alison, they are beautiful!
