THANK YOU POSTIE....AND MY GIVEAWAY WINNERS........

Evening all.....
ooh sound like Dixon of Dock Green there....Ok there will be some of you who will remember him! (surely!!!!)

Two lovely things to blog about this evening , and apologies for being a bit late with the first...

Mr or at least at the moment Mrs Postie brought me two super parcels last week.....

The first was a surprise win from Alix at used-to-bees. 
I have admired her travel journals and other beautiful pieces on Folksy here
and I couldn't believe my luck when this landed through my letterbox



Beautifully wrapped.....






A brilliant covered notebook...and in a Union Jack fabric...how perfect is that for me!! Appliqued with copies of old travel posters....


and a great selection of other posters and signs printed onto fabric and backed with bondaweb for me to have a go myself....I am thrilled.  
Thank you so much Alix, the only thing is I forgot to keep the envelope with your address...if you don't mind would you email it to me!  I can't wait to use the appliques, I have a cushion in mind already, so will show you the result in due course.

My second parcel was from Lynn at Sea Angels
I bought some stunning rose fabric from her and it arrived like this.....


How pretty is that.......and the cute little cup cake is made of decorated wood, I am tempted to add a pin and use it as a brooch!



Can't wait to use this, destined for some new cushions I think....... although its pretty enough to be a summer skirt....a la cabbages and roses..........ummmm.........  Thank you Lynn an absolute bargain!

And Finally......drum roll please.......................................
