Hello lovely readers

♥

Firstly thank you so much for all of your kind comments on my last post

You are the best

♥

Well I seem to be on a lucky streak

I have won, not one, but two beautiful giveaways recently

How lucky am I???

maybe I should try my luck on the lottery before it runs out!

Want to see my beauties?

I won the sweetest little crochet bag stuffed with chocolates

from the lovely Katie over at Booty-full things blog

Isn't it gorgeous, made especially for me in pale violet

It has found it's new home hanging beside my sewing table 

I have snaffled most of the chocs to be honest 

(as you might have noticed!)

Ooooops!

 I am on a bit of a diet at the moment

so one little choccy a day will be my treat

keep me going so to speak.

Katie also sent me a beautiful handmade card

some button soaps

I have never seen soap this cute before

not sure I will be able to use them

and this fabulous sewing tin

stuffed to the brim with notions

you see the little basket of roses?

well it brought back a wonderful memory from my childhood

as my mum had one exactly the same

I am so very touched by your thoughtfulness Katie

thank you thank you thank you

I also won a fabulous giveaway from the very kind and sweet Alessandra

from homemade@myplace blog

all the way from Indonesia

 So beautifully wrapped

I am in love with gingham at the moment

Look what was inside...

A garland laden with beautiful knitted hearts

all attached to the tape with little wooden beads

It is so beautifully made

This is my favourite colour heart...isn't it pretty?

 Alessandra even sent me the hooks

Also in my parcel was this colourful collection of 

sugar sticks and tea

WOW!

I keep looking at those sugar sticks, they are like works of art

 They all came stashed in this sweet bag

The tea is beautiful Alessandra...I added a little honey to it...YUM

 ♥

Thank you so very very much

I really love blogging

I am so glad that I took the plunge last year

it has opened up a new world to me

I have 'met' such lovely people

so kind and generous with their time and love

giveaways are such fun

and it is the thoughtfulness that people put into them

 that is so very touching

So thank you lovely ladies

I feel honoured

Now for something completely different

I have been busy filling my shop shelves with decorations 

ready for all the 2012 celebrations

the Queens golden jubilee and the olympics

so get ready for a dose of 

Red white and blue

coming your way...

You can find this here

This here

This here

and this here!

They may even be some special celebration birdies underway too

I'll fill you in on that soon!

I hope you are having a lovely week

two days till the weekend

back soon

lots of love
