Secret Santa

My Secret Santa parcel arrived weeks ago ... but I restrained myself from ripping off the wrappers of the very tempting packages until Christmas morning.
I have been thoroughly spoiled by Chloe from Clobelle .Would you like to see all the lovely things she sent me?
Some fat quarters in blue and red
a lovely skein of hand dyed sock yarn
a cross stitch kit  ... I haven't done cross stitch for years but this is so portable it's coming along on our next caravan trip
I love notebooks and always have one next to my laptop for jotting down ideas
This patchwork book is totally beyond my stitching capabilities but it's lovely to look at the pictures and dream ... maybe one day!
Not one, but two pots of buttons!
This little treasure opens out to make a handy shopping bag ....
and my favourite perfume for daytime ... I honestly spray this on every morning!
And a cuddly snowman doggy toy for Inca .... she has carried this round the house since Christmas morning ever so carefully, and hasn't even tried to kill it once!!!!

Thank you so, so much Chloe! I love everything. I cannot believe how generous you have been with your gifts! I do hope your Secret Santa sent you something lovely too!

(My Secret Santa parcel went off to New Zealand)

    I'm glad you liked everything, Thanks for putting such a lovely post together - sorry it's taken me so while to leave a comment I've been buried with two very excitable toddlers for the past fortnight!

    Thankyou so much for the gift you sent me for the secret santa swap. I have blogged it and sorry I haven't been able to pop over to your blog earlier but we have only just got settled into our house since moving. Caryn
