More Handmade Treasures from Uncle Kenneth

In July, another surprise package arrived in the mail from Uncle Kenneth.  The last one came in April 2010 (click here to see those pictures - Owen looks so young!).  This time it was addressed to both Owen and Leo.  Inside were two toys with a special note attached to each.

Here was the gift for Owen: 
The note said, "To Owen: This truck is stained with food dye and finished with butcher block sealer to make it look old."And here is the gift for Leo:
The note said, "To Leo: This rattler is made of hard wood so no splinters and finished with walnut cooking oil and wax.  You can put it in your mouth and it won't harm you.  To clean, use soap and warm water.  Enjoy."
How amazing are these gifts?!?  Such skilled craftsmanship!  Such loving effort!  Such extraordinary treasures!

Uncle Kenneth, we are delighted and grateful.  Thank you.  Hugs from us all!  xoxo
