As I mentioned before, I was taking part in Claire's Pincushion Swap. My swap partner, the lovely Annie was on her holibags last week, so I insisted we swapped ours when she got back - no one should be worrying when they are on their holibags! My parcel came very early this morning, and I had a cup of tea and did the dishes(we had friends over for tea last night) before opening it.
It is chock full of loveliness, I can safely say Annie very much understand me! IN my parcel were
Some beautiful Michael Miller Fabric, ribbons, a red needle pack,
and some tiny seed beads and heart buttons in bottles(with red stoppers!).
Teapigs Superfruit Teabags, Shortbread from the famed Loch Leven's
Larder, a wee peg person, and a lovely postcard.
and last but so very not least, my pincushion!IT'S IN A TEACUP!
and It has lovely heart toped pins. It is perfect, thank you Annie.
To see what I sent to Annie, you can check out her post, and please do have a look through her blog, it is fab! Thank you again Annie!
9 bits of lovely chat!:
all this looks so lovely - it makes me want to be the sort of person who does this kind of thing....

That is extremely pretty, now I understand why it would cheer you up :)
What an awesome package to receive in the mail. FUN! Lots of bits of loveliness.
Excellent teacup pincushion idea and with storage on the saucer you'll never loose another pin on the floor and only find it later when you hear it chinking up the hoover nozzle. Love the heart-shaped pin heads, you're a lucky lady! Will check out your parcel now.
Ali, I'm sure you could do it!
Hazel, I know!
Lisa D, I'm going to organise a swap toward the end of my, you should join in!
Fay, isn't it brilliant! It has given me a swap idea too!
what fun, and i'm talking about more than just the name 'teapigs.' :)
Isn't that an adorable idea? A pincushion in a teacup!
A lovely swap with your friend Annie!
Saw this and thought of you and your crafty fans :-)
