In the past week, I have received wonderful happy mail from Italy and Australia - thank you so much!!
First of all, lovely Letizia sent these gorgeous papers and ephemera from Italy 'just because'...
Look at the gorgeous swirls and bubbles in the corner of the envie! And here's a close-up of the zentangled card - she's so talented!
Thank you Soul Sister!
Then, two from Oz - first these exquisite tags from fellow-desker Judy...
Too, too gorgeous - thank you so much!!
And lastly this from Jenny Wren - I actually remembered to get the camera for the opening of this one :)
A stunning calendar, card and bookmark, some Aussie teabags and special Aussie spices! Anyone for a barbie??
I have been SO spoiled! Thank you so very much!!
And before I wander off to poke around on others' desks, here's this week's Giveaway...
... a beautiful silver ginkgo necklace. You can learn more on the Giveaway post here, where you can leave your name to be entered into Sunday's draw, or you can click the Celebration Sundays button on the sidebar :)
Hi Claire
ReplyDeleteWow what a week you've had and I couldn't think of anyone more deserving. May the love of your blogging sisters continue to give you some brightness and happiness, I have enjoyed catching up with all your news, and can see life continues to throw at you the good, the bad and the ugly and your beautiful spirit shines through whatever.
As you know I am away from home at the moment and access to blogosphere is limited, I will look forward to reciprocating the giveaway story at some point.
Hugs Wren x

Wow a wonderful week, good for you, enjoy that Tea, living in Australia even I didn't know we had our own Twinings Aussie Tea, I must look for that in the shops. I nearly hit a Kangaroo with the car the other week, the blighters are pests here. Lucky for me because they do heaps of damage. Enjoy your goodies and have a great week.

Lovely gifts in the mail....perfectly timed post as I just received the journal! It will be just the thing to design smocking patterns with! xo
ReplyDeleteSo glad it arrived safely! I used to use a grid journal to design cross-stitch, so I imagine it will be ideal for smocking patterns!
