QUEEN FOR THE DAY ....

Queen for the day..and why?
Well the answer is this beautiful neat parcel, courtesy of Sophie of Chez-Sophie as part of Sew Scrumptious flower swap.  I really thought I was having a second, or is that 'official' birthday.

Inside the brown paper was a box covered in pretty pink tissue..

and inside this a very stylish box

But only when I opened this did I realise what a treasure trove I had received.

It was more like a Tardis than a parcel. How Sophie managed to squeeze so many goodies into it I don't know.

And what were my lovely treasures....Well I hope you have plenty of time

pretty lavender sachets

A handbag tissue holder complete with tissues (must have heard about the scruffy packets littering all my handbags)

A piece of fabulous fabric ..Now what can I make with that?.. for me of course

A rose patterned make up bag containing.....

A great big flump (that won't last long)

A pack of pretty playing cards

Flowery cleaning cloths..too pretty to use!

3 packets of poppy seeds..absolutely love them..

And finally the most exquisite vintage scarf - again with poppies as well as cornflowers, blue tits and robins and the prettiest retro style pinny which I will wear with pride.  My daughter has already ogled it!! Not a chance!

All in all an amazing haul

So thank you Sophie for such a wonderful swap, I haven't stopped grinning yet and my family are most impressed.

I would also like to thank Louise for arranging it and for all her hard work getting us organised.

Oh and Sophie we are taking a cottage in France this year and I will be packing my scarf to go with my red,white and blue (I know such a cliche) wardrobe..

Tres chic n'est ce pas!

And now O no! I have to do it all again. Off to finish my Tilda swap, catch up again soon

Bye lovely friends
