A little while back my dear friend Sabine who is from Germany, emailed me and told me about the wonderful new wellies that she had ordered for herself. She emailed me pictures and my eyes popped out of my head.....and rolled around on the floor. They were that cute. I have been longing for some wonderful wellies of my own, dreaming of the day when I would find some for myself. Then these arrived in the mail. All the way from Germany.
The wellies of my dreams! Perfect for our rainy Oregon days. I cannot believe that she sent me such a generous and beautiful gift. I am blessed with the most thoughtful and wonderful friends. Can you get over these?
Come on now people, I know your eyes just popped out and are rolling around on the floor.
Do you think that the kind people in my little town will look at me funny when I wear my wellies around every day... rain or shine... all year... and to church on Sundays? Jeans and wellies, shorts and wellies, skirts and wellies, wellies and a swimsuit...not that I would wear a swimsuit around town, let's all save ourselves that horror. What about when I'm wearing them on the front porch in my robe in the morning waiting for our furry princess to do her business..... Will they look at me funny then? I will hold my head high my friends, and wear my wellies proudly.
As if this wasn't more than enough. Sabine included a few special extras in her gift. Like this gorgeous pillow cover that she hand stitched.
Her work is gorgeous. I love this pillow cover. And I just so happened to have the perfect sized pillow form to fill it out. Yay! There were also wonderful treats for the whole family!
I still can't believe I received this wonderful package in the mail. You are so very kind my friend, I truly don't know how to thank you enough.
I will now happily go to make my family dinner, and guess what I'll be wearing on my feet. x
I've never seen a more beautiful pair of boots let alonw Wellies. I've gotta show my daughter these. She's been planning on getting a pair for winter. They are so beautiful. What a great fabulous wonderful gift. And with the other goodies!! Wowie. My eyes are popping out of my head, too.

Those are by far the CUTEST Wellies I have ever seen! SWOON!

They are GORGEOUS!! That's such a generous gift... and then the cushion and the other goodies! You have been spoilt! And to those people that give you "funny" looks... who cares! They don't understand the funkyness of your new wellies!

YAY! How fun are those!? Enjoy!

Seriously...I am coveting those boots!! So pretty! As soon as I leave my little comment here, I think I’ll be off in search of a pair! Your blog is amazing. I first visited a while back and have admired your beautiful quilts and photographs - you have such a way with the lens! I actually had my mother-in-law come over so I could show her your tutorial on machine quilting – it was very helpful. She even learned a few things and she’s quilted for many years. I wish I would have seen it before quilting my Summer Stash quilt. Thanks for the eye candy!

What lovely wellies!
My poor kids don't even get wellies around here (well, it never rains), but I admit to secretly wanting a pair of grown-up wellies with the strap. They don't even have to have flowers on...
But it never rains.

LOVE your pretty wellies and beautiful pillow. I bought myself some bright orange rainboots and they arrived AFTER rainy season so I'm looking forward to next rainy season! Cheery after our long cold winter.

I love your wellies. I love that your friend sent them from Germany. And the lovely pillow. What a great treat to have wellies and a wonderful friend. You're right, my eyes did pop out.

Your joy and happiness are written all over this post. Yes, I must admit, I would not mind having those wellies for myself...they are a very pretty pair. And the pillow too!
It's very cute that you're so excited.

Those are some rather awsome wellies. I just got a polka dot pair to replace my old ones and I wore them all the time. mostly with skirts. Let 'em all look.
