Yes, my very first giveaway win arrived today from the gorgeously talented, clever and all-round lovely Karen at KarensKrafts!
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..
Wow!
What lush fabrics, colours, flowers... what could it be? ..
Ohmegosh (sharp intake of breath) it's a beauuuuuuutiful bag.
See how lovely it is!
But what else?
Eeeeep. The cutest tissue-case I've ever seen.
And look!
The sweetest Flower Fairy tag- the Geranium Fairy (really takes me back to being little- I used to love these little creatures- and still do!)
More!
A sweet detachable crochet flower corsage!!
Come see!
The most adorable lining of rose sprig fabric (including little compartment for special things).
Who could not love this:
Thank you again, Karen.
This has blown me away...!
And so...
Keep your eyes peeled- my next post is a Pay-it-forward giveaway!!
Have a great weekend, all.

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.
ReplyDeleteHave a jolly weekend modelling your new bag

ReplyDeleteCongrats 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!
