A LITTLE PARCEL

A little parcel full of anticipation travelled across the country and found it's way to my house. Isn't it lovely when you find a message from someone saying, "saw these and thought of you". Two beautiful little Midwinter egg cups arrived carefully wrapped in pretty fabric, also a few little extras hidden inside.

The pattern is so delicate with speckles of colour all over.

I also found in my parcel a tiny bag of lovely red antique buttons and a rose to match.

I like the structure of these buttons and the cotton which has been left on gives a sense of history.

This is part of my swap with Mel Mel who waits patiently for my parcel. I had four little items planned as a swap which last night I finally achieved. I thoroughly enjoyed making them and can't wait to get them in the post.
So TTFN
