I love mail…especially when it’s swaps and giveaways. First up is the lovely rainbow swap parcel I received from silly gilly…..a super cute retro softies pattern, journal book and rainbow cover, rainbow yarn, binding in rainbow colours, skittles and I wish I could show you the m&m’s and lifesavers that also came with it but they were quickly taken by keira yesterday! thank you for spoiling me, everything will be put to good use…
don’t you love a little handwritten note tucked inside the gorgeous journal cover. Thank you for spoiling me!
and on sunday I was lucky to receive a giveaway from Katia…..now Katia is a lovely russian girl living in sydney with her helicopter pilot hubby (now doesn’t that sound like an exciting occupation)! She does amazing embroidery and sewing and just check out her etsy store….she amazed us on Sunday with her lovely stitching and she has such attention to detail. Wow, I’m looking forward to having some of her sweet things at my Allie’s Attic stall in December…..
So thank you Katia for the lovely giveaway! I’m going to make a little bag for my mum (the french teacher with a love affair of everything parisian) and pop the notebook in for her. Unfortunately she will be in hospital again as her cancer has come back again. I guess when they give you the all clear it’s not for long but we’re all keeping positive and she is amazingly brave!
So sorry to hear that your mum has her cancer back Corrie. It must be so devastating for her. Does this mean more surgery for her in the future or treatment instead. I am sure she will love a parisian bag made by her lovely daughter. You received such beautiful gifts. I will keep your mum in my thoughts and wish wonderful things for her too.
Hugs to you and thinking good thoughts for your Mum.
Very sorry to hear about your Mum. She’s been though a lot. Love to all of you from down here.
Lovely goodies, lucky you.
Good luck with your Mum and I am sure the gifts will bring a smile to her face
just popped in to your fabulous giveaway package blog for a look…
So sorry to hear about your mum and sending her loads of positive vibes.. i know she will love the parisan bag ..simply because you are giving to her…
Oh kisses to your mummy Corrie, all the best!! Have you ever seen the book My French Life – my sister-in-law gave me a copy for my birthday last year, ’tis beautiful!! Viva la France, love Posie
What lovelies you have to play with!
Corrie, I’m so sorry to hear about your mum
Thinking of you and your lovely little family xox
Lovely swappies Corrie. I’m so sorry to hear about your Mum again — sending good thoughts and wishes your way!
Wow, some amazing things. J’adore Paris! Haven’t been for a few years, but every time I go to London I take a walk through St Pancras Station and see the trains ready to depart for Paris via the Channel Tunnel and I just want to jump on board! All good wishes to your mum, I do hope she pulls through – being positive is the only way to be, otherwise what’s the point? Love the blog x
Oh wonderful to see that the parcel arrived safely. Seems like you need a bit of good luck round you right now, so it couldn’t have arrived at a better time. Take care and I’m sure your mum will love whatever you make her!
Hi Corrie, Love the parisian gifts tres chic. Thinking about your mum and sending you good wishes vibes. Keep your spirits up, but remember its okay to feel down too (sometimes we need it).
