Last night was meant to be spent outdoors with a roaring fire, sparklers, fireworks bursting with colour, burgers galore and accompanied by one or two sweet sherries...
Today I have been resting/lazing, unable to/ignoring housework and enjoying and appreciating some lovely gifts that have been sent to me this week...
a beautifully wrapped book accompanied with a sweet notecard...
THANK YOU to Jackie at Sew Special Bears for sending me this book - I have read little snippets about it and it sounded really up my street so I was really over the moon to receive it...
I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but how lovely is the artwork??
My lovely friend Miss R also sent me a package this week, inside was this...
a lovely little bag with the very most apt sentiment on the cover and inside was tucked a gorgeous, decadent bar of Laima chocolate from Latvia...
also this week, subscription heaven as my mags have been arriving on the doormat along with another gift, a 'Prima Makes' mag from Mrs C...its been rare as hens teeth finding one if these, but find one she did - thank you!
now the note from Miss R was to myself and t'other half, but as I am poorly/suffering (- envisage here back of hand resting on forehead in over-dramatic style...)
I am working my way through/troughing the entire bar of chocolate all on my own...!

Thanks again ladies...the Sweetest Things are indeed friends!! xxx

Sometimes being unwell is an excellent way to stop and concentrate on the essential task of nursing yourself back to health. You must be a special person to receive all those wonderful gifts. Relish them all AND the chocolate!
ReplyDeleteGet better soon.

Hi, I've just discovered your gorgeous blog and look forward to popping by again another day. I hope your back gets better soon, I know what it is like to have a bad back. Best wishes, Pj x
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your bad back, nothing worse. I hope you're on the mend now.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend,

Bad backs are a real pain (literally!) but hope you get back to normal soon. Enjoy your book - it does have such an attractive cover. (Its a long time since I heard someone say 'rare as hens' teeth' - made me chuckle!
