Vintage Tin Swap

Well,

I've had the goodies for a while so I thought I'd blog about them now (should have on 1st or there abouts - but you know what I'm like for a deadline)

I got the Lovely Gill as a partner for my swap and I recieved the lovely goodies pictured below!

I've already opened the tea and have plans for the buttons! The fabric is going to be in a patchwork and the tin is going to be a tin for embroidery threads! I also got a fab Green heart which is on one of my wardrobe doors with some others I've collected and been given and unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of that because it went straight on there and I'm daft!

Thank you so much Gill for my lovely parcel!!! We'll have to start the next swap off!!!

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! Wasn't the weather brilliant (more on that story later!) I'm so grateful to the lovely bloggers who participated in the swap we've just had. I feel terribly guilty that I only sent one out as everyone else has sent me one (lovely people!) I do have to beg extreme circumstances what with Mum's party and all, however you should look out for little surprises dropping through your front doors soon! Here they are in all their glory! What a talented lot you all are!

So to you lot - I'm holding aloft a cup of my best Royal Blend Tea and an organic oatcake biccie!

I will never lose my page again!

And on to the next part of the post...

Today people I'm am all a-glow... I'm creating my own little furnace with the heat generated by sunburn. Sophers and I went to visit some friends who live in a BEAUTIFUL little house in Wales. They have done all the work on it themselves and they have done a magnificent job. They are friends we met through mbira camp and we are very glad to have met them. They put on a lovely spread and provided a great place for us to gather and play. So thanks Eve and James, we'll be back!

Isn't concentration a wonderful thing - thanks Sophers.... I'm going to get one of your "mbira face" too!

Here ends yet another long post! I hope everyone else had a good a weekend as I did!
