The Pursuit of Happiness - T`was Found in My Boudoir Swap :)

MY first little ray of sunshine arrived as normal each Wednesday morning in the tiny and enchanting shape and form of my darling 18-month-old grandaughter - we`ve had an amazing day together in the sun (Factor 50 applied rigorously). When we got back from Playgroup, the second little ray of sunshine had arrived (I then had to make a quick-smart dash back to Post Office where Postie had left my parcel) in the shape and form of My Boudoir Swap - a trillion thanks, Sharon.


TAH-DAH..................

FIRST to be unwrapped was this beautiful Vintage Box with pretty ribbon.....

.............I knew I was in for a treat when I saw the beautiful tissue wrap with the cutest little labels attached.


Isn`t this just pretty beyond words? She looks so utterly gorgeous surrounded by all those sparkly
jewels....see how they glint in the sun? The card is really special too because it`s a print of peonies which are my favourites so it`s going in a frame.

 
How about this for a first attempt? Stunning colours and very,very well made - I`ll treasure it forever.


.....and last but definitely not least, the prettiest box of chocs which I am now delving into whilst catching up with the misery that is Eastenders!

I was totally overwhelmed by all of my gifts which Sharon sent me. I really am very lucky to have had yet another great swap partner and to be on the receiving end of Sharon`s great taste and immaculate attention to detail, right down to the pretty little labels she attached to everything with a little message on each one. I don`t want to sound overly gushy but what a treat!

As to the other matter, a gazillion thanks to you Good Ladies of Blogland who very kindly and sweetly left me your gracious and very supportive comments - they really meant a lot. I am very pleased to report that the issues have now been concluded and there will be no further `episodes` of the melancholy which ensued. Sisterhood is alive and well and living in Blogland! Thank Goodness for that:)

  3. Thankyou so much for the blog award link - I couldn't get it to work but might try again - it's the thought that counts anyway. Wasn't this last swap fun, I love my PJ case and am using as a laundry bag as it's too pretty to be hidden away.
