I think I have mentioned...

that I love mail.

Look what Australia Post brought me. It came all the way from America...

This is the first blog giveaway I have ever won.

My thanks to the lovely Leslie of Three Birdies who sent me this beautiful ribbon and a note... vintage lace and... embroidered hankies... and this amazing table runner that she made...

Thank you so much Leslie. I love it!

How lucky and I?

It is living on my big old silky oak table and had its first dinner guests last night.

Also in the mail was this little gift from Thicket for joining their mailing list - yarn samples, a letter and a Jo Sharp catalogue tied with wool.

They even email members free patterns...

Thanks Melissa for telling me about this supplier - they sell beautiful Cotton yarn...

And of course, gratuitous pictures of our independent little man "drinking" all by him self.

Although, nothing seems to be coming out...

(Note wet clothes from previous attempts to drink by himself.)
