Arriving home from New Zealand, I had 2 wonderful packages waiting for me. I was incredibly fortunate to win another blog giveaway; I just can't believe that I have won 2 in recent weeks and this time it was a Babooshka Doll made by Beata from the wonderful blog Rosehip.
I'm in awe of her sewing skills and her colourful blog is one of my favourites. Isn't she beautiful?
Next, and equally fantastic, was a parcel from Laurie.
For the 3 years (yes, I celebrated my 3rd blogiversary in January) I have been blogging, I have had many people say that I would have loved the magazine 'Victoria'. It had stopped being published a few years back but recently been revived and kind Laurie sent me a copy and another magazine called Country Home. Everyone was right - I love Victoria and Country Home, and all the other goodies she generously sent. Thank you, Laurie.
I love getting mail ( email too) and as soon as I hear the letterbox rattle I'm racing to the door, even when I'm in someone else's house too (mad). I think that's why I love to subscribe to certain magazines because I love seeing them lying on our, not so clean as this picture, doormat! So I'm ever hopeful that the rest of February will bring the unexpected. Nice unexpected, not bills - unexpected or not!
