The internet is a wonderful thing and blogging especially. You can hook up with some great like-minded people. One such person is Wendy, or as I know her, Woo. Although I have never met her I definately think of her as a friend. I have sold fabrics to Wendy for years now and she is a a good customer. More recently she has started a blog and she also has a website where she makes beautiful little things from the gorgeous fabrics she buys as well as stunning handknitted items. She recently bought some fabrics from me and today I received payment for them but in addition she had added some gifts. I was so surprised and touched by the attention to detail, she knows me very well.
She sent me some beautiful hand dyed embroidery silks for my applique projects
some vintage silk fabric including some vintage kimono silk
a card of sweet vintage buttons
And a gorgeous hand knitted cobweb scarf in a soft grey mohair wool finished off with tiny red beads that look like pomegranate seeds. So beautiful, soft and warm and, of course, in this season's colour!
I felt like the luckiest girl alive. Isn't it the nicest thing to get unexpected gifts through the post? It was a wonderful surprise. Thanks Wendy, you're a gem x Pin It

Wonderful things but I am here to say (once again I know) just how gorgeous little Lizzie is. So cute in that little hat. Ooooh, I could take her away and eat her!
Sorry, I'm sure you don't want Hannibal Lecter types visiting your blog, but you know what I mean.
Anyway, just popped in to say hello. I need to write a new story on my blog I think and I have something in mind with a starring role for you this time!!! Be warned! Don't hold your breath though - no time to write at the mo.
Ahhh shucks Thanks Dons. You are more than welcome honey. xxxxx
Gorgeous! But the sun was shining onto my screen and where you said
"soft grey mohair wool finished off with tiny red beads" I read it as "tiny red heads"
I couldn't work out what you meant for ages... I even clicked on the pic to enlarge it!??
hahahaha
