I've had a very busy week, dejunking, cushion making, crocheting, gardening but I'm here at last! I had a surprise parcel on Tuesday my shabby chic cafe 'Cath Kidstonesque swap' from Bloomin Myrtle. On opening the parcel I found the above pic peeking out at me.
A beautifully made drawstring bag and inside this a bundle of pink tissue paper packages tied up with sheer pink polka dot ribbon.
And inside there was a soap in a ceramic soapdish, pink nail clippers, scrunchie, emery boards and two shower gels with roses inside.
Thankyou Elaine for the lovely swap.

The next day the postman came again with another parcel this time it was a giveaway that I had won from Janie at hedgecombers blogspot another Cornish blog. There was a cute egg shelf that fits in well with my kitchen, two sweet handmade hen egg cosies and two beautiful Cornishware egg cups my first pieces of Cornishware even though I'm Cornish!
If you haven't been to Janie's blog you must go and have a look. I can recommend her flapjacks they really are the best, I made them last week. thankyou for the great giveaway Janie.
*************************
I've also been given some awards first this one from the lovely Angel at shabby angel blog. I was given this a few weeks ago but I forgot, sorry Angel and thankyou.
Then the lemonade award from the lovely Julie at Gingerbread blog go take a visit she is truly the pincushion queen.
And finally these two from the lovely Beki Marie at the ramblings of an everyday mummy
another lovely blog to visit. Thankyou Beki Marie.
Now I must go and do some catching up and baking.

I've just read your comment on 25 things about me. It's so nice to meet people who are similar to you. Sometimes I think I have more in common with my bloggy pals than I do my real life friends.
Would love to see how silly we looked dancing round the kitchen lol!
I've wanted to visit Eden for a while and i'm thinking about going in the summer, will probably get a coach because I can't see Rich wanting to go. It will be a very long journey so do you think it will be worth taking Jess, she'll be 11.

You have received such pretty things. The pink parcels looked so pretty before I even saw what was inside. I cant believe you are cornish and dont have any cornishware. I love it but it is so expensive and Im so clumsy so no good stuff for me Im afraid X
