I was thoroughly spoiled and received lots of gorgeous goodies. The goodies were wrapped in pretty pastel coloured paper and ribbons. I love receiving gifts that are prettily gift wrapped. It makes me smile.
What was inside the pretty wrapping paper? Gorgeous pastel coloured crcheted bunting! The bunting is currently decorating the top of my dresser. The little roses really make the bunting special.
Some sweet smelling Cath Kidston smellies. I usually take showers, so I'm keeping the bath melt to use for a special occasion i.e. when I have the house to myself and I'm not rushed out of the bathroom with shouts of "MUM!" or "MADISON!". Which is more often than you would think.
A set of gorgeous hand painted glasses. I've been hunting in charity shops and car boot sales for a set of painted glasses. How did she know?!
A very handy sewing kit. I have been known to bung some needles and thread into a plastic food bag to take with me when I feel the need to sew on the move. This little set is perfect to keep in my handbag.
A sweet little pink bucket. It's so cute and the pink is the perfect shade of pink.
And inside the little bicket was a handmade hanging Easter egg. Look at the detail on it. I originally thought it was shop bought until Katie told me she had decorated it. It's perfect! The fabric on the egg is completely wrinkle free. How did she do it?!
And of course you can't have an Easter without Easter chicks! These were given to the Wee Man. We've been hunting for some Easter chicks to put into his plastic Easter eggs and they've all been either too big or too small. These were the perfect size and he promptly stuffed them into his eggs ready for his Easter Egg hunt.
I was rather spoiled wasn't I?
I can't seemed to find the photos of the things I sent her. I'm off to have a more thorough search. Where are those blimmin' photos?!
Ohhh what a gorgeous swap, you lucky thing you! Such a wonderful group of items for a swap, the crochet bunting is wonderful!

Hello Madison,
ReplyDeleteI visited your blog today - I saw you over at my sweet friend, "Teacups and Bunting." Your blog is so charming. You have a lot of creative ideas on here, and your pictures are colorful...I love the little chicks. Me and my daughters started a blog, and we would love it if you could visit us and follow. I would enjoy coming back to visit with you. Your blog is very cheerful to me. I hope to hear from you, and have a sweet day.

Glad you liked your goodies. Perhaps I'll have to post a tutorial on fabric covered eggs! Lol. I had planned on making you set of them, but after doing one my patience went out the window.
ReplyDeleteI received the exact same message from Red Rose Alley above. Somebodies been doing a little mass commenting. Lol.
Love Katie xxxx
P.s thank you for all your sweet comments yesterday, emails come through on my phone, they were waiting for me when I came out of an emergency trip to the dentist! Cheered me up no end. Thanks xxxxx
