First, thank you and hello to all my new followers. I am so pleased to meet you and quite taken aback that you want to listen to my ramblings, but very pleased as well. I do check out all your blogs if there is a link to do so.
Secondly a very special thank you to Muddy Puddle Crafts for your kind words on your blog and for linking to me. Go have a look at her blog and the lovely things she makes. Her hand painted signs are great.
Finally and by no means least, I was lucky enough to win Vintage Vicki's giveaway, my first, and to say I was amazed when I opened her parcel today is an understatement. I was just expecting my new dolly friend Amy but I also got a whole host of other goodies!
Super cup cake moulds, which I don't have, a Yankee candle, a cupcake coaster, pretty spotty buttons (can't wait to use these), a notebook, some decorative stickers, fabulous postcards ( I must find some frames to do them justice) and a super little floral dish. So many lovely things. thank you Vicki so much.
I am in awe of all the lovely parcels that I have seen and received since I started this blog and so have decided that as soon as I reach 100 followers I will have my own giveaway. I do hope that isn't too long away, but have started to gather and make my little presents anyway. I am thinking of a fairy and toadstool theme. I have already needle felted a tiny toadstool pin cushion and started on a needle case, and I will be scouring my CBs and CS for interesting, hopefully vintage bits and bobs to go with them. I also hand make fairies for the top of the Christmas tree, complete with embroidered wings, floral garlands in their hair and ballet shoes on their feet. I will make one of these and the winner can choose a colour scheme! Pictures of this at a later date.
Not a good photo of the work in progress but it is a bit late.
Anyway hope this stirs some interest and I'll be back to tell you all about Bath very soon
Night all

ReplyDeleteon your previous posting you talked about 'almost shoplifting'...well, my daughter age 3 is a little tinker at it- the amount of times i'll get home to find shop goodies un-bought beneath her push chair...so before i leave a shop now i have to check her all over in the push chair just incase she's slipped something sweet and sparkly under her seat hehe x
