Hello folks! I'm back from my holiday, and had a wonderful time, but I'll do a holiday post tomorrow, as I have far too much to get into one. So my first post is dedicated to the lovely swaps I received whilst away. Luckily my Tilda swap from the Netherlands arrived just before we left, and my fairytale swap from the USA arrived while we were away but luckily my neighbour took the parcel for me. I can't tell you how excited i was to receive this large pink rosy box in the post.
What could be inside?
Look at all these prettily wrapped parcels. And you can't miss that stunning angel.
Inside all that pretty paper, I received some gorgeous fabric, a spotty shopping bag, some lovely essential oils for crafts or my oil burner, some strawberries, strawberry tea, strawberry sweets and a homes mag from the Netherlands. Not to mention the lovely homemade card.
Margriet and myself have been chatting quite a bit through e-mail and thought it would be nice to receive a homes mag from another country. And I did enjoy looking at the lovely eye candy.
I adore the angel, she is beautifully made and the fabrics are so me. A huge big thank you and (((((big hugs))))) to my swap partner Margriet for the wonderful Tilda swap parcel.
And here's what I sent to Margriet.
A Tilda summer garland.
Handmade scented strawberries in a jar.
A CK bag and voucher, CK tissues, CK tin with some buttons inside, a cherry notebook, some cake cases and an English Homes magazine.
The second parcel that arrived was my fairytale swap from Marva, and here's what I received.
look at all these Alice in wonderland goodies.
A lovely vintage tea cup and saucer, a handmade needle case, handmade gift tags, a cute little drink me bottle, some strawberry fabric and lace, some tea bags, biscotti and a little matchbox, curious?
Containing lots of Alice trinkets.
If you click the photo you should be able to read this gift tag.
So a big Thank You to Marva and (((((big hugs)))) to you too. I feel thoroughly spoilt.

PS I will pick a winner for my giveaway tomorrow, sorry ladies running a bit late.
