I absolutely love Emma Bridgewater pottery and this red squirrel mug is just beautiful. It's very hard to photograph though, so here's another photo of it to make sure I get all its best angles.

I really wasn't expecting anything else so I was thrilled to find some other lovely goodies in the parcel. A Wildlife World bumblebee guide and wildflowers attractor seeds pack, I do try to plant things in the garden with wildlife in mind so I shall enjoy sowing these seeds and watching the bumblebees make a bee line for my garden. See what I did there? Jo knows that like her, I'm a crafter. I love knitting and crochet so there were two balls of Sirdar Folksong yarn in the parcel. It's so soft, I shall enjoy using this. I've been saying for a while now that I'm going to get Eleanor's sewing machine out and have a go at teaching myself to sew, well I've now got some gorgeous fat quarters in such pretty designs so I've no excuse not to get on with it. Jo lives in North Wales so she popped some Welsh cakes in the parcel too. Now I've never tried Welsh cakes before but wow, they're so good. I shall be having a go at making these myself before long, they're absolutely delicious. A parcel full of so many wonderful things. Didn't I do well?

Thank you so much, Jo. What a generous give away, I'm thrilled with everything I received.
Congratulations on your win - how wonderful that you received so many personalized surprises!
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled with all the surprises. I was thrilled at winning the mug but all the extras made it even more special.
DeleteI still giggle at what Mike said when he pulled your name out of Rudolph. What a lovely write up, you've made me blush! Glad you enjoyed the welsh cakes, my nan used to make them when my dad was a little boy & called them 'waste of time cakes' as they went as soon as they were cooked x
ReplyDeleteThank you again, you've been so generous and I love everything. What a lovely story about the Welsh cakes, I allowed Eleanor to have one of them and she's put in a request for more so I shall have to find a good recipe.
DeleteA lovely parcel of goodies for you to enjoy lucky girl, its like having a win on the lottery getting a surprise through the post :-)
ReplyDeleteI love receiving parcels through the post, it's exciting even when you know what's in them but even more so when there's surprises. I am a lucky girl.
DeleteLovely. Well done, and good for Jo for being so generous. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteJo's been very generous. I'm thrilled with everything, she's obviously catered to my likes.
DeleteSuch lovely things! Jo is a very kind and lovely person - just like you Jo!! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled to bits with everything I won, I think I'm going to be very busy with all the crafty things. Thank you, what a lovely comment.
DeleteOh that red squirrel mug must be a joy to drink from Jo and a Welsh cake must be the perfect accompaniment to your liquid refreshment.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to feel very posh drinking from my red squirrel mug, it's absolutely beautiful. I wish I'd discovered Welsh cakes years ago, I feel I've been missing out now that I've tried them, they're delicious and I shall make up for lost time now.
DeleteWhat lovely gifts, from a very lovely blogger. Welsh cakes are delish aren't they, I must have some soon now you've reminded me about them. No doubt you will enjoy all of your new things. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteI've never tried Welsh cakes before but they're my new favourite thing. I think I shall be making some before long, though it won't do my healthy eating any good. I'm sure I'll enjoy all my new things, Jo has been very generous.
DeleteA lovely gift
ReplyDeleteIt's so thoughtful, I'm thrilled with it all.

It was such an exciting parcel to open as I had no idea there was anything else in it besides the mug. I love that foxy design too.
