Twelve Day Advent

I had such a lovely surprise at the back end of November when a parcel was delivered to my address. I hadn't ordered anything and I had no idea what it could be. When I opened it, I found a sack full of presents.

My lovely friend, Maggie, who blogs at BlackCountry Wench had put together a twelve day advent for me. What a kind and generous thing to do.

I had a wonderful time opening up each of the gifts through December in the run up to Christmas, and I saved the yarn to open on Christmas Day. Such lovely presents, a book I've had on my wish list since it was released earlier this year, a yummy Lindt reindeer, the cutest Moomin calendar which I'm thrilled to have as the Moomin year planner I usually use was out of stock when I went to order it, a gorgeous bookmark, in fact, take a look at the photo, you can see for yourself all the fabulous things I unwrapped. The West Green Loft yarn is the prettiest shade. Something extra special though, Maggie gifted me the beautiful pillow ornament she'd stitched which I was admiring on her blog back in November, something I'll treasure.

Thank you so much, Maggie, I feel so lucky to have such a special friend, someone who goes out of their way to gift me something so magical at Christmas. Thank you for your friendship.
