My Fabulous Parcel.

I've got a parcel. It's a very beautiful and welcome parcel.

For starters, I am very fond of brown paper, and the handwriting is beautiful. I'm afraid I've blanked that.. don't really want my name and address (or that of my sender) out there on the World Wide Web!

It's a blog give-away winners parcel, no less!

I won a givaway over at Surfer Rosa on Tuesday, and my parcel arrived today. It brought much excitement with it, when my parents bought it with them to pick me up from work. The above picture was taken in the car, as I very first saw it! BTW, do you like the dress? Is one of my favourite Charity Shop finds.

I got my parcel home, and tore into it with abandon.

Beautiful wrapping paper, and a generally exciting mystery. I knew one parcel contained a crocheted cake (a cherry bakewell) but the rest was a surprise! A very welcome one.

My cake is in the middle, looking very cute. I also have some pins, to complement it, some sewing needles - how did you know I needed some? Some cake cases, which are the same as some I have previously oggled, a bar of Green & Blacks (never wrong) and, possibly my favourite, a litle stitched heart in what looks like a Cath Kidston fabric. I'm going to put some lavender oil on this and hang it by my bed.

I must confess, the chocolate was gone within an hour or two. I did share it! But not much..

The pins now decorate my cake, and look very very fetching! Like hundreds & thousands.

I LOVE my parcel. I'm going to make fairy cakes tomorrow to celebrate the loveliness. Thank you SO much Louise.. it's made my weekend, if not my week. Far better than any retail therapy. It's all so perfectly ME.

Moving on, I finished a very good book today, and I would reccomend it to all. Life Of Pi is a thought provoking novel that's well worth the thought. I picked my copy up at my fave charity shop. If you see it, grab it.

Thats all for tonight, is past my bedtime. TTFN. x
