Spoilt rotten !!

I feel like the Queen this week coz it feels like I have had two birthdays this year ... two lovely swap parcels yesterday and today another!!!!



This one is from the lovely Mary Poppins and boy oh boy have I been spoilt. Our theme for June was spots and stripes and just look at these all carefully wrapped in spottiness.

One of Mary's handmade tote bags in pink stripes with a lovely ribbon ...... a spotty apron which will come in extremely useful as I am usually such a slut and am often to be found with floury handprints on my ample thighs where I wipe them when baking ...... a beautifully embroidered heart hanger with my initial ......

Another hand made lovely blue spotty drawstring bag with more goodies inside .... a spotty notebook and pen and an enormous bag of vintage buttons ....... a crafty girl can never have too many buttons and sad thing that I am I will be taking time tomorrow to sort them into my colour coded button jam jars!


And there was more !!!!!!!!!!!!


Some stripey napkins, a striped Sarah Smith cloth (these are so lovely I don't think I could ever bring myself to clean with one), a Designer's Guild composition book with lovely striped cover and a gorgeous Winnie the Pooh door plaque personalised with my name. One day, hopefully soon, I will have a room in this house all to myself and this will have pride of place on the door.




Cor blimey Mary Poppins ....... the biggest THANK YOU ever ...... xx
