A box of lovely goodies . . .

I should still be in London, but unfortunately my course was cancelled at the last minute.  Disappointing, but it will be re-scheduled for another date, so I will still get to do it at some point.

On the plus side though, it meant that I was here when the Postie arrived this morning and handed me a box full of lovely goodies from Mrs C at The Travelling Mam who was my partner for the Cosy Autumn Swap organized by Blueberry Heart.

And indeed they did  :-)


All beautifully wrapped & sprinkled with autumn leaves...

Pretty organza strips, sachets of yummy mocha, a cosy magic scarf, a very useful pocket diary, delicious-smelling candles...

... an oven glove, the cutest little squirrel & acorn salt & pepper set...

... and the sweetest ever knitted fruit & veggies.

 What a bountiful box of blessings - thanks Mrs C, for spoiling me and making my first ever swap so much fun  :-) and thanks to Kerry too, for so kindly organizing everything.

If you'd like to see what I sent to Mrs C,  hop over and have a peek at The Travelling Mam.

Hope you're having a good week,
xoxo

  5. What lovely goodies! And I popped over to the other blog - you sent great pressies to, so it looked like a great swap all round!
    I've just registered for a Advent Xmas Swap. I have to send 24 little gifts to be opened in the lead up to xmas, plus a 25th to be opened on xmas morning. I'm so excited! I'll think I'll have as much fun choosing/making the gifts as I will receiving my swap goodies!
    Happy days!
