On the 6th Day of Christmas

On the  6th Day of Christmas my true love gave to me, six Geese A Laying .

I guess I could whine a bit more about chicken coops and geese and other poultry living in my backyard but I won't. I've never actually had a goose egg to eat before.

Not sure why we've got geese laying eggs here and not the French Hens? Really? I wonder if goose eggs were a sign of great love back in 1700's England. Anyone?

Instead of goose eggs [which just doesn't sound quite right, does it?], we thought we would share a few of our favorite little notions… those we just can't live without.

OUR FAVORITE AUTOMATIC NEEDLE THREADER

When we first introduced "Our Favorite Things" category on our old website, these were one of the first things we stocked. As I grew a little older…. uummmm, not old, just older… and found that just perhaps I might need my reading glasses to thread a needle, I started to rely on this amazing little gadget. I have a green one right next to my machine and I NEVER leave home without my pink one.

With one simple push of a button, voila… thread in needle! And it has a little built-in cutter too.
Perfect for you or for stocking stuffers!

IN PINK

AND IN APPLE GREEN

And possibly my favorite notion of all time… the Japanese Little House Pins- the best pins I've ever tried. These little handmade pins glide through fabric like butter, the tips are perfectly sharp and they are strong! To top it off they come in the cutest little metal tin. I"m not usually such a stickler about sewing notions, but honesty, these are the only pins I ever use! They are the perfect little luxury.
