So as compensation, the postman was on extremely good form!
Before I show, I must tell you that all these purchases have a purpose, no frivolity here, (that I have saved for the 2 parcels currently winging their way from Brenda at Pink Castle, woo hoo!).
So I had these from Backstitch...
Some Klona solids, of which one is the backing for my Stained quilt - I have plans, which may, or possibly may not, go to plan, but here's hoping. Thanks Alice x
Then there was a parcel containing 3 squidgy meters of batting along with a Sweetwater Reunion layer cake and Kona Ash from marvellous Mandy at Simply Solids...
I have a school friend, who is also the daughter of one of my Mum's best friends having twin boys in the Summer, so I want to make a little something for them and/or big brother; their oldest will just be turning 2 when the newbies arrive, been there done that, this really is destined to be a pity parcel!
Then I have buttons, a hundred tiny shell beauties, some of which may find themselves adorning the Fat Quarterly Retreat name tag I am making for ???
My rail tickets for the aforementioned weekend away arrived too!!
Tonight I will be wrapping up Bee parcels; sorry Jude and Ceri for the delay, and my Mum's little pressie will be posting tomorrow as we aren't meeting up until the weekend after Mother's Day, when I will bestow the traditional chocolates and flowers.
So there you go, a little bit of 'give' for all my 'take'!
Lots of nice goodies there!
ReplyDeleteI had to comment to say that the title really reminded me of George Formby - "Turned out nice again!"
Love the Sweetwater bunting fabric! All those buttons remind me of those Pearly Button coats the English used to wear! Maybe even George Formby!!!
ReplyDeleteLove that sweetwater. And those buttons are gorgeous! Jxo
ReplyDeleteOh we all love a bit of lovely post and yours is very lovely. I received some very yummy post today and it was a kind of forgotten surprise! Gorgeous buttons and I have a name tag to make too - a very special one!

Eeeekkk! What a fab day. Thanks, Mr Postie!
ReplyDeleteFab happy mail. I adore that Reunion line too, I'm waiting on a fat 1/8th bundle that's swimming its way across the ocean right now (I hope!) Love the orange klona, so discrete... ;o) Totally curious about those buttons!
ReplyDeleteLots of shopping means plenty more sewing!
ReplyDeleteLove the solids, totally jealous about the Reunion layer cake. Very happy mail :o)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a very nice day and the post man is your friend.
ReplyDeleteI'll be putting at least one button on my recipient's name badge too.
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely - particularly like the bunting fabric. Jealous of the rail tickets to the party! xx
ReplyDeleteOh look at you and all those purchases! I can't wait to see what you do with it all. And I had better have a package coming from Brenda too. (I hope!)

ReplyDeleteLove Reunion, I just brought a charm pack. I'm so jealous about the fat quarterly retreat. I considered not coming to Oz until after but couldn't leave hubby on his own for that long! Still wish I could go though
