I love when things arrive in the post with foreign stamps ......
...... and I was especially excited this morning, as I knew this had come from Cathy, my swap partner. Cathy is the most wonderful artist, and she has painted the most beautiful postcard for me
She also enclosed two postcards from Sicily
and some tiny cards showing more of her wonderful work
Thank you very much, Cathy! I have received some photos of the postcards that have been sent already - they are all fabulous and I am sure their recipients will be delighted with them. I am looking forward to when all the cards have been sent and recceived, and I can show you the photos.
I mentioned yesterday that I had picked up some little bits in charity shops. First, in Shelter, I found this little Laura Ashley case (it is about 6"x4")
It contains beads, trims and little card labels and embellishments
Then it was on to the Oxfam shop, where first I found two balls of aran weight cotton yarn
and then a bag of tapestry wools, in soft shades
Friday of course means cake - today was one of our favourites ....... Annette's light-as-air chocolate sponge
I will have a very busy weekend sewing, with the Linus day tomorrow and on Sunday I will start my new 'job' ...... although I can't really think of doing something I love as a job!! I hope you all have a good weekend, love Anne
