It was packaged beautifully, and inside was a sweet pouch - with a heart on it.
As you can see, the contents were simply gorgeous. I still keep opening the packet of hearts to examine them. Everything is so wonderful - it was better than Christmas!
The dancing queen has her eye on one of the corsages and the beautiful bracelet - so I need to hide them quickly!!!Many thanks Sandie - I never expected the giveaway to be so lovely.
And for all those who were interested, my survival embroidery last week was these two heart shaped designs that I picked up in Cabourg in France - in a wonderful craft shop where I could have happily spent all day in called "A La Recherche du temps perdu" Which means "In search of lost time"and was apparantly the name of a body of work written by Marcel Proust who often holidayed there.Don't look too closely at the very "naive" stitching! I made one of these into a pocket for a bag, but I don't know what I am going to do with these two yet.

oohh lovely gift in the post there. I love your embroidery - gorgeous! I made a lavender bag out of some cross stitch I did which worked out well, might be an idea for your lovely work.
There is nothing quite as nice as coming home to a package from the postman. You lucky girl! Your cross stitched hearts are sweet. Where do you fnd the time? A job, two teenagers, cooking...AND cross stitch!? You are a busy woman!
I love the naive stitching it adds to the country charm :)

What a lovely parcel to have waiting for you after a stressful day. As you know I like your embroidery pockets for bags:) I've no idea why but I always remember Proust's liking for those little french Madeline cakes! I will search through the photos when I can for the 'big hair and shoulders' photo!
