I can't resist adding one more.  These are felted pebble hand soaps. FUN!

I love, love, love, love, love felted objects. Delica has a beautiful selection of felted pebbles, bowls, coasters and jewelry. (Check out the acorns.)

Visit her etsy shop to pick up these wonderful soaps.


May your holiday season be filled with laughter and warmth.
