My mailbox was a busy place this last week! In addition to all the usual bills there was treasure to be found. First up was an RAK from Lindsay of Caring Stitcher. Lindsay knows how much I love the UK so when she saw these goodies she knew they had my name written all over them.
Some Diamond Jubilee tea towels, rhinestone studded socks, pens, ribbons and best of all is the little tote. I've already been carrying my lunch to work in the tote and I'm just thrilled to not be using a used plastic grocery sack any more! Thank you for the sweet gift, Lindsay, I couldn't be more pleased!
Then came my giveaway prize from Angela of Hooked On Stitches. Angela stitched me the Dear Diary design of my choice and finished it into the most beautiful box:
Isn't it gorgeous? You wouldn't believe how PERFECT this thing is! Angela is definitely a finishing pro. Every single detail is amazing. I cannot believe this is mine! I wish you could see this treasure in person. I'm over the moon every time I look at it. Thank you so very much, Angela!
Then a wee thank you gift came today from Annette of California Stitcher. Annette was the winner of my business card giveaway and she promised to send me one when they arrived. I guess she couldn't resist sending a few goodies along with:
Lovely handmade greeting card, some peach tea tucked into a little decorated bag and a few pretty variegated DMC threads. And of course her wonderful card from Printrunner. Thank you, Annette!
I've been thoroughly spoiled this week, haven't I?
Blog friends are such fun and I'm so thankful YOU are one of them.
Thank you for visiting my blog today!

Lovely mail to receive indeed. Great package from Lindsay, there is so much red, white and blue over here in the Uk at the moment.
What generosity, that is so sweet! Great finish Angela, beautiful. I know Annette was super thrilled to have won the business cards, they came out so nice. That was sweet of her to put a little thank you together for you.

Yesterday was a wonderful mail day for me as well. Beautiful box!

Ohh..I also read your previous post...I MUST get some of that wax stain and fix up some of those round boxes for myself. Thanks for the inspiration!
There's nothing quite like getting goodies in the mail. Everything is lovely.
I was fortunate enough to receive a box done by Angela a couple years ago. She does the best finishing. I know you'll enjoy it.
You deserve to be spoilt. Those gifties are absolutely lovely.
Fantastic mail week!!!

Great gifties! Sometimes I wonder if the mail person gets annoyed with my deliveries, then I remember reading about how much their 'business' has suffered with cuts lately. Hope they appreciate.
Gorgeous gifts received. I have two of Angela's boxes and can confirm how stunning they are.
