We received bounty from my brother and sister-in-law's garden. Zucchini and yellow squash, broccoli, and onions all went into Sunday night's dinner. One of the squash had this lovely blossom. We still have a bit more, green beans, basil and tender lettuce.
These are some gifts my niece brought back from Japan for me. I love these clever designs with toothpicks. When I was in college, I always had a pair of chopsticks in my car glove box, for when I "had to" make a mad dash to Chinatown. The larger paper is a very cool way to store them. The toothpick wraps are charming origami.
I believe the embroideries are meant to be used as coasters. They're far to pretty. I'll figure out something else or just enjoy them as I am right now.
Another view of the squash blossom. What my photographs didn't capture was it's translucence and fragility. It looks rather sturdy here. I think I shall have to plant squash next year.
