A Delightful Surprise

I was thrilled to be the lucky winner of the recent give-away by Simone on her Linden Grove blog.  On Friday just about lunchtime there was a knock on the door and there stood a postman clutching the most  beautifully wrapped parcel with my name on it. 

I sat and looked at it for a while before I decided to open it.  Inside were lots of pretty little parcels, wrapped in tissue paper with the most beautiful botanical stickers holding them together.  I had to take a photo before I opened them.


Simone had chosen so well for me! Such pretty colours - the turquoise crochet scarf and the handmade cards and wonderful cat gift tags.  There was also a delightful scent from the lavender cushions and the hand soap.  Plus there were some white chocolate mice and a lovely card.  So many little surprises and so beautifully presented. I'm overwhelmed by your generosity - thank you so much, Simone.

  1. Thank you so much for the accolade Rosie! I didn't photograph anything so I didn't have a record of what I sent you so thanks for sharing it here. The scarf is the first one I have ever crocheted. I thought it would keep your neck nice and warm on your spring walks!

  6. We were discussing Simones lovely cards on our day out! What lovely things Rosie. Also I too fear for our libraries. As a little girl, I was like "Mathilda" in our mobile library that used to visit our village. I discovered the world through reading and books. xxxx
