I can not begin to tell you how blown away I am by all of your amazing comments, emails and support.... thank you all so much, words cannot express!
I now know how many good comments it takes to cancel out a bad one; the exact number I have received!! You are all so sweet and kind.
I have decided to do another post quickly as I don't think my secret admirer deserves that much air time, so on to much more pleasant things!!
Today in my quest to renewed happiness and creative energy I have been playing with pretties!! Mostly pretties that came from our recent trip to Korea and I thought I would share with you some what I have been looking at today!! It is amazing how sitting in your studio fondling things that bring you joy can be just the right medicine!
These hand stitched and hand made thimbles made by the most beautiful Korean embroiderer that I came across.
The vintage paper doll sets that I found in the funniest of curio shops.
This vintage korean school note book found at the bottom of a dusty pile at the same fabulous shop.
Beautiful embroidered butterflies.
And this yummy pile of hanky linen that arrived in the post today!!
What great therapy!!
Melly
Just what the doctor ordered! Glad to hear the spring is back in your step!

What perfect timing for the linen to arrive! And those thimbles, just plain adorable.

Hi Melly, I didn't blog last night so missed your sad/angry entry. I'm sooooo sorry that someone was unpleasant to you, and find it hard to imagine why anyone would be???? I'm with Trash, let me at 'em!!! I'm glad you're feeling better now and I'm sure the outpouring of love from your devoted followers in blogland has helped, and I wanted to jump on the bandwagon and say "I love you Melly" and I love the Melly and Me designs, they bring so much joy to all who see and make them!!! Big hugs, Kelly xoxo
PS: Love, love, love the thimbles, how completely adorable and useful!!!

Why on earth some people have the need to hurt a wonderful blogowner like you (and other sweet blogowners), is beyond my imagination!
Just because we sit anonymously behind our screens, it most certainly doesn't give anyone the right to say what ever she/he pleases...
It truely is sad that you had to experience that....however, I must say, that I admire the way you handled it. Keep up your gorgeous work and be proud of the ideas and skills you have.

Hey Melly, Glad to hear you are on top of the "bad words" that someone said. Now lets focus on the good stuff...love those thimbles omg how cute are they. Can't wait to see what you do with the hanky linen, such pretty colors.Keep up the great work!!

Oooooohh.... beautiful goodies! What a fun time shopping you had!! I'm off to finish some sewing... I broke my machine today... lucky sewing machines are easy to fix! My DH came home from work (probably fixing tractors) to pull my sewing machine apart and fix it up! Can't wait to see what you're going to create with those beautiful linens... :)

Melly, that hanky linen is gorgeous. I think perhaps your anonymous person has been visiting me as well lately. it does sour the blog experience doesn't it? But onward and upward - make something lovely!

Keep on blogging and keep on doing what you do, beautifully, I might add. Life is good. There are only a few who spoil things, it's best to ignore them and move on.
If you continue to have problems, try setting your blog's comments thing to "moderate comments" and that way you can choose which ones to allow on your blog.
Blessings and best wishes to you.

Oh I love those thimbles and the hanky linen. I've really been taken with linen lately. It just has such nice texture! Glad you have been able to move on and be happy!

Wow. They certainly are some pretties you have there Melly. How cute are those thimbles. I have never seen any like that before (could be because I walk around blind half the time hee hee). Hope you are staying happy and enjoy your pretties. Cant wait to see what you come up with next. And just think 6 MORE SLEEPS TO GO!!!!!

Hi Melly, love the thimbles -it is hard finding a thimble to suit.When i learnt how to quilt my teacher tried to get me to use her method of using a spoon, but i found that too difficult and find only leather ones are good for me.
Yes the MANY lovely people really make up for the devious ones dont they ! cheers...
