Australian polka dot swap

When the postman arrived with this package today I nearly ripped his hand off, mind you I had to fight the dog as well as he always gives her a biscuit and she rushes around like a mad thing!

I could see the customs declaration so guessed it was my swap from Shabby Raggy Roses
Oh just look at all of these lovelies...............

A fantastic quilted drawstring bag, in such pretty fabrics combining spots and flowers

A sweet dotty handbag shaped notebook

Some wonderful polka dot fabric, and roses and spots, what a fab combination, and i have a real love of green at the moment

A very clever doorstop - i just adore the fabric this is made from, and a sweet bookmark

I filled the doorstop with corn that my brother grew on the farm last year and here it is in action!

Jenelle, thank you so much I just adore it all

Fabby Swap - its mine all mine!

Today the most ENORMOUS box arrived from the lovely cooltrikerchic her blog is here the swap was from the shabby chic cafe forum group. Cath Kidston was the theme and every item in the box is very CK

It was full of purple tissue with a handmade card nestled amongst it. Look at how lovely the handmade heart cushion is and the blue bear is so sweet and CTC has added a little flower on him.

More lovelies with scented pillows and a sweet little round tablecloth - the bear refused to move and wanted his picture taken again!

Here is another pic of the tablecloth and a fab tea towel.

The blue of the tea towel is just perfect in the kitchen as i have just painted a little shelf unit in the same colour, and it has what looks like a hand crocheted border - how clever is CTC!.


And there is more............ this is my favourite of all the bits, a wall hanger with lots of pockets in it, so useful and look how well it goes in my bedroom!

Smelly heart has already found its home on the newly painted shelf unit along with the one Little Gem made for me :-)

And the teddy has found his perfect spot in the sun - he needs a name so suggestions are welcome
I am such a lucky one to receive so many lovely things, and i know CTC was nervous about sending this out, bliddy silly if you ask me coz its all yummy, thanks you so much I would not change a thing.
