This week has been very exciting. I received a lovely parcel in the post. In fact .... Mr Postman couldn't get it through the door so I had the added further excitement of actually going to collect it.
I knew when I walked into the collection office exactly which one my parcel was. Not the ones in the brown and white packages .... oh no ..... there was one on the S shelf covered in heart tape .... I told the lady not to worry about looking because that one with the hearts on it would be mine (at this point I though ... Kate you are brave ..... what if it isn't!) and I was right!
I then had to have the Shall I Save It, Shall I Open It battle ..... and decided I should save it for the big V Day!
So here is what the lovely lovely Sue of @ home (to see her wonderful blog go to here) sent me.
Just in love with the red and turquoise! It killed me to open it ...... so I started first with the card.
How beautiful is it! This will be framed once I take my heart decorations down!
I love praline .... and I will be saving these as a special treat once lent is over! I can't wait!
Some pretty tissues and a lovely lip balm. Oh this lady knows me!
A lovely little handbag mirror in a cute drawstring bag.
A gorgeous tiny handmade note book that I filled with love vouchers for Craig and gave to him. Also a lovely heart shaped pom pom that Sue has been busy making for a lovely hanging mobile.
A beautifully crafted needle felted heart brooch. I adore this, I really do! I am going to put it onto my coat! Oh and see the cookie in the back ground!
A large stuff heart to hang with some lovely beaded and ruffled detail.
And my favourite thing. A hanging paper heart that twirls happily on my kitchen shelf with some lovely hanging buttons. I felt so treated!!!!
My house is so very hearty! Every where you go there are heart things hanging from shelves!
How lovely!
I think All4meggymoo did a great job! And I do hope Sue likes her gifts!
Kate xxxx
