Birthday Goodies
I received some wonderful presents for my birthday, and wanted to share them with you. I got these gorgeous flowers, just perfect to brighten up the kitchen. It makes me smile every time I look at them.
Some great new (well, old, really) hankies to add to my collection that I use daily. A beautifully hand crocheted baby bib and some silver baby spoons for the little one, and an old wooden spool which will decorate my studio, one day.
A new gardening book to hopefully help me figure out what I’m doing.
A pink stripey blanket that is destined to be repurposed as it has a little hole and a couple of stains. I also got two sets of Wee Wonderfuls embroidery patterns, the All Four Seasons Stitchettes, and the All Four Fairy Stitchettes. Last but not least, is a 1- year subscription to the British Country Living magazine, which I’m super, super, super excited about. I had such a great birthday, and got some wonderful things. There is going to be a lot of fun crafting before Christmas and plenty to learn before spring hits with a new garden. Hope you guys are having a great week.
great gifts! that book looks like a great resource and I’m curious what you’ll make of that blanket…
What wonderful treats! – You really were a lucky birthday girl!
Jennifer!
Happy Happy Birthday! So sorry I missed that! Naughty S-J!
Glad you got lovely things and really pleased about Country Living, it is fab isn’t it? I call your wooden spool a Bobbin, I like old Bobbins so useful.
Love Sarah x
Love love love these pictures!!
I am dying to see what the blanket will be transformed into…
Thanks guys, I am a very lucky girl. I honestly have no idea what I’m going to do with the blanket yet, I think I am going to have to wait for inspiration.
Happy Happy Birthday!!
I love the gifts that graced your special day!
I am a collector of cloth napkins and just started on hankies, so much beauty to be found in vintage fabrics and embroidery!
I’m sure you’ll really enjoy your subscription to the British Country Living. My mum has a subscription to it too and it is such a beautiful magazine with so many lovely features, photos and articles. Your other gifts were lovely too. Glad you had such a great birthday.
Gardenmama, I love collecting hankies. There are so many beautiful ones out there and they are very useful.
Elizabeth, I can’t wait, every page I see on different blogs is just gorgeous.
