I have a mountain of paperwork surrounding me this morning and so was very happy to be distracted from the laborious task by the arrival of these parcels in the post.
The paper is brilliant, something I've never seen before and the little Y's have made great use of it. The carpet is currently covered with a rainbow of stamps as they play postie :o) Inside the parcels was this collection of goodies :o)
The brooch didn't make it into the shot - sorry :o) |
The knitted purse is actually my favourite. Beautifully knitted, and neatly lined, such a pretty design and colour wise, totally up my street - I adore it! The chocolate coin which had been thoughtfully slipped into the purse made it into the picture, just! I know two little girls who have their beady eyes on it, we'll see how long it lasts.
I am over the moon with what Nicole chose, thank you SO much! :o)
I know Nicole has received, and blogged about, the parcel I sent her so I am safe to show you what I picked. Nicole's blog is lovely. I had a good old nosey around it to help me chose some things for her and this is what I ended up sending.
I've never done a swap before. It was great fun and Nicole was an excellent swap partner - thank you Nicole :o)
Oh it looks like you both had wonderful partners :) What a fun parcel!
ReplyDeleteOh what a lovely parcel - that is my sort of parcel as I collect and use those little magazines.

My pleasure! And the sweets were great...
ReplyDeleteYou both did a great job - I thought you'd make good partners. I love the beret and corsage you made Lucy, and I'm a big fan of Nicole's tape measure brooches. The purse is fab too. So glad you enjoyed the swap, thanks for taking part and linking up xx
ReplyDeleteThank you for organising it :o)
DeleteWhat lovely goodies! I love the beret..... can we see more of it? x
ReplyDeleteHello,
DeleteRe the beret, certainly, although I'll need to make another one, just need to decide on a colour. I knew I should have taken better photographs of it :o)
Best wishes
Lucy

Hello! Your blog is utterly charming and really interesting, I've already loved what I read so far! The parcel you received is gorgeous as is the one you sent! I really like Lakota's swaps, they always yield interesting finds that seem so well suited to the recipient! The beret is gorgeous particularly! Sorry to hear about your Peterborough disappointment, I bet that would have been really fun, particularly the big band! There's just something so brilliant about dancing swing dance to a live band isn't there!
