So Spoilt!

When I got home from work yesterday I was very excited to find my F.R.I.E.N.D.S swap parcel had arrived.... WooHoo! I sent mine off the pevious week but my partner Khris wanted to wait until I'd received mine before opening hers.... very sweet! I don't know how she managed to wait with it sitting there looking at her, although, I know the red frogs were calling to her and didn't survive the wait (since they were wrapped in cellophane and easily visible). I had a lovely time getting to know Khris and was thrilled to have the host of the swap as my partner. She did a wonderful job organising the swap and managed to do two swaps herself!
So here's what I received:
All beautifully wrapped..... not for long!
F.................... is for Fabric Charm Squares
R............................................. is for Roses
I....................... is for Items for the Kitchen
E.................................. is for Ellie Elephant
N..................... is for Notebook and Nailfile
D.......................... is for Duo of Dishtowells
S...is for Snap coin purse and Shopping Bag

Unwrapped.... what a lovely bunch of loot!

And a couple of close-ups:

Gorgeous dishtowells.... almost too pretty to use, I just love the yummy fabric Khris has used to decorate them, a charm pack of Lily and Will (scrumptious) and the cutest little coin purse!
A lovely set of four placemats with matching coasters and a pot holder........the placemats have a lovely weight to them and they're all beautifully made! I know these will get a lot of use.
This lovely notebook which has been embellished with my name and a nailfile.... very handy!
Yummy roses chocolates (which seem to have disappeared), charm squares (again) and the cutest little Heather Bailey pattern for an Elephant pincushion... can't wait to make this one. :)
The close-up of the shopping bag didn't turn out but you can see a glimpse of it on the left of the first photo.... it's a huge big sturdy bag that will hold lots of goodies!

Thankyou so much Khris, both for organising such a fun swap and for all my beautiful pressies that you so carefully put together..... I love them all and can't wait to hear what you think of the bundle I sent you!

Until next time......

  4. It certainly is a lovely parcel. Make sure you use the towels. It is no good hiding them away.
    Happy days.
