Goodies from a friend ...


A few weeks back I received a wonderful parcel in the post.
It was goodies from a sweet friend, Helen.
This is her blog. Visit, read and follow!! - Because It's well worth it. I love her.

We were both feeling a little "down in the dumps" and needed cheering up.
 Helen is so generous and kind. She wanted to send me a gift, but I wanted to send her a gift too. So it turned into a little "just because" swap.



Above are the wonderful treats I received from Helen.
They came beautifully wrapped (but I tore them open in excitement before taking a snap!)
There was a wonderful collection of handmade goodies (don't you love Helen's Christmas makes?!)
She'd made a lovely bag, which was full of gorgeous decorative treats, as well as smellies, candles, bunting, magazines, cake stands, craft kits and embroidery patterns!

Jealous?!?! I thought so.


This is what I sent to Helen.
I made crocheted goodies, a candle, cupcake flags, fridge magnets, brooches and a necklace with a presentation box for the jewellery.
I also sent a mug, umbrella, Cath Kidston notes and badges, a giant pincushion, cross stitch kit and handmade card (not pictured).

Thanks again Helen for my wonderful treats.
I adore each and every little thing.

Have a great week, Ladies and thanks for reading.

Love Katie
