Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. Marcel Proust
I was recently in my first swap! I've heard both good and bad stories about swaps so I was thrilled when this one turned out to be better than better!! So much thought and care went into the gifts that Hadley sent me. Every single item is a treasure. I'm going to use my purse as a gathering spot for my embroidery items. Do you see the stitchery that Hadley made? It makes my heart smile!
Susan sent me a kindness for a kindness done. It must come through clearly that I love all things Cath Kidston! What a perfect sewing kit and I am so grateful. It's really fortunate that there are no Cath stores nearby! I could do so much damage!
And in case you're not seeing a UK "LOVE" theme here, this should do it!
Helen and Archie sent me this lovely thread catcher and London fabric. I was drooling over one of her thread catchers that appeared on a friend's blog. So when this showed up at my house, I nearly fell over!! It's so pretty that I'd like to wear it!!
And I love Lucy! I'm sorry....I just could not resist! Lucy sent me a stash of London fabric. Now I have enough to make something really special. The pressure is on! But a very good kind of pressure. I would love to carry around a tote that makes me look like I just got back from a trip to the UK. Seriously, Cindy and I are planning a trip to England. Cindy: It's in writing, now!!

All those goodies are so cute! My favorite, though, is the stitchery. I'm with you...Cath Kidston would be dangerous in my neighborhood, too. So tempting!
