More Birthday surprises....





Here are the extra photo's I promised you from my birthday on Friday.......My sister Anne came around Friday afternoon and we spent a lovely time sitting,knitting and crocheting together while drinking coffe and eating yummy freshly made sandwhiches for our lunch.

I was thoroughly spoilt by her as you can see by the pictures! Anne creates awesome things with her hands and her sewing machine and I feel reallly blessed to be the recipiant of such gorgeous creations!!! Thanks Anne I love them!

Anne also made me some very pretty knitted dish cloths which are now sitting in a rainbow coloured pile near my kitchen sink waiting to be used.I love the feel of knitted dish cloths and they're great to use as well.

The cushion is now sitting on my bed and the table runner is soon to be residing on my blanket box near my couch in the lounge where I sit of an evening.

The lovely plates all came from a beautiful shop called "Lost and Found" speciallising in vintage 2nd hand things.... We visited it a little while back on one of our Friday jaunts and I fell in love with it.I think another trip in the not too distant future may need to be arranges LOL.....what do you think Anne???
