I had such a lovely surprise on Saturday. Mick had gone to cricket and I was just about to start some ironing when there was a knock at the door. I wasn't expecting any deliveries so it was a surprise to be handed a parcel.
It turned out to be a belated birthday gift from my friend Maggie who blogs at BlackCountry Wench.
Maggie always wraps everything beautifully, it's a shame really to spoil all that lovely packaging.
These look like little bags of jewels. They look so enticing, it was exciting to see what was inside.
I wasn't disappointed, not jewels but just as precious. Beautiful mini skeins of yarn which will look gorgeous added to my scrappy blanket.
And the other lovely gifts I opened. A gorgeous bee and sunflower burner. I've just been sorting my ornaments out since the house move and I've got just the place for this, I love it. Two balls of cotton yarn in such pretty colours, I think they'll make some very pretty dishcloths. A box of Toffifee which I haven't opened yet because I know that once I do, they'll be gone that same day. Is it just me or does everyone have trouble stopping once they start? I received a lovely card too.
Thank you so much Maggie, I love everything, you obviously know me very well.
What a lovely, colourful surprise! I'm sure you're really busy with all the wedding arrangements at the moment, so that was a really thoughtful gift.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely the same, Jo. The box could stay unopened for a while but, as soon as it's open, they're as good as done! What a wonderful surprise for your birthday.
ReplyDeleteA lovely surprise from a very good friend. Toffifee are delicious and it's not just you who finds them moreish :)

Phew, I was worried that burner would arrive broken, so happy it survived the journey :-) I hope you enjoy the yarn, I've just finished knitting a dishcloth with the same cotton yarn and it's lovely to work with. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely surprise for you, the presentation was as good as the gifts you received, hope you have fun using them in future projects xcx
