Look what the postie brought me!

While re organising my stock in my three shops this morning, the postman came and through the letterbox tumbled this little package in a bright green envelope. Look how beautifully it is wrapped and the little badge on the packet was a lovely extra that I hadn't expected. Inside a little stitched pouch a beautiful pocket mirror from Snapdragons Garden

I was so luckyin the new year to win a giveaway from Jane who is based up in Stirlingshire, and when I found myself wanting a pocket mirror I knew just where to go. Her shop is divine and I am a regular reader of her blog too, where she also shows her stunning floristry skills in her totally unique style.

I am so loving my little mirror and have taken it in and out of it's little pouch countless times to admire it today. It is in very good company in my handbag with a new Orla Kiely purse which was a shock anniversary present last week.

Is life here always so lovely and fun? .............. no............I have to go finish cleaning the oven now

Thank goodness for the lovely moments to keep us sane!

Snapdragons garden

I received this in the post this week! A basket of gardening goodies that I won in a blog giveaway from Snapdragon's Garden The prize was a real bumper one and included a beautiful wire basket with spotty handles,a kneeler, soap, topiary shears, a weeder, and this beautiful handmade brooch, and a mug with one of her fantastic applique designs to remind me to take a break.

Jane is truly a lady of many talents, as well as sewing, she grows cut flowers which she then uses in her own creations as she is also a florist.

Thankyou Jane, I'm off for a break!
