Losing my marbles

Perhaps you'll remember, I posted about Suzy's stunning needle keep a little while ago, and lamented the fact that I just couldn't find all the photos I had taken in the UK before leaving for France. Well, guess what? I found them. Whilst looking for something else in my picture files. I have no idea why I put them where I did put them, but I am so glad I haven't lost all my marbles, lol, just some of them. I was beginning to think that I had imagined taking the photos, and that it never really happened.

But here they are, the rest of the beautiful things Suzy had also sent me, and I am so glad I can now share them with you -


I just love how she presented the birthday card, in this gorgeous card holder -




She also sent me some beautiful trims and fabrics -




The neddle keep was wrapped in this beautiful vintage doily -

and inside were such sweet little treasures -





And just in case you didn't see the original post or followed the link above, here is one last pic of the needle keep -


I put some needles in yesterday, when I spent some time in the craftavan.

Oh, and talking of the craftavan, I made six 'lilac' swap ATCs yesterday, photographed them today ( in really horridly grey conditions ) and will post them tomorrow. So, Alexandra, don't look tomorrow, lol!!!

Wishing you all a very lovely Easter weekend, restful and peaceful if you prefer it that way, or filled with lots of fun activities if that makes you happy.
