Well, meloves, I am all a-gush and very excited to tell you that I AM A WINNER!!

I cannot tell you how excited I have been since learning that I was one of 3 winners from Karen's 'Pay it forward' giveaway.
(the postman clearly thinks I am a nutter as I have been stalking him for a few weeks now)

So, said parcel arrives... I unwrap a bit..

  2. Well hellooooo sailor.....what a most exciting parcel that must have been! I won a giveaway a while ago and it really is a very exciting thing indeed, isn't it? I have a little pile of bits stashed away for a giveaway, I just need to find one more thing to add to the collection. Mr N and I are escaping for a child-free weekend in Harrogate soon (just thought I'd drop that in) so maybe that'll be the place to find that elusive final thing.
    Have a jolly weekend modelling your new bag

  16. Congrats on your win! What a fun package to receive! I think there's something really special about the appreciation of a handmade gift when it goes to someone who also loves to make things. Like maybe there's a greater understanding of the love and time that goes into handmade gifts? I don't know. But I do know that I cherish them! Have a great weekend!

  23. Congratulations and wow; that bag is beautiful. Clearly it has come to a fantastic home where it will be loved and cherished and sighed over for many years to come.

    It's funny the power those Flower Fairies have, isn't it? One look at that tag and I was jolted back to my childhood.

    Beautiful win.
