Birthday treats - and a giveaway!


Felted bead necklace from Nord.

Brooch handmade by Frith.

Embroidered brooch from Tamsin Cooper.

The Essential Guide to Craft. Covers a huge range of topics. Lots of things I'd like to try.

A tin of black olives. A family tradition.


Violet flavoured sweets.

This book to be purchased once it's printed in August. I'm looking forward to seeing what's inside it's pages.

...And some pocket money in my purse. Such fun.

And yes I did mention something about a giveaway.
All this birthday giving has made me want to do some giving.
I have ordered another pretty flower brooch from Frith similar to the one above
(it will probably be different colours).
So I can give it away to one of you!
Just leave a comment on this post to go into the draw.
I'll randomly pick a winner a week from today (so as to give the artisit some time to work!).
So that's next Wednesday (NZ time).

Thankyou everyone xx

What wonderful birthday lovelies - it must have been so fun to receive such sweet gifts!

I might have to look into the Essential Guide to Craft, I don't believe that I have seen it before.

And, thank you for the giveaway - that style of broach is adorable!

Have you gotten your tooth taken care of yet? I hope it doesn't bother you too much!

Joyfully in Christ,
Emily Rose

Happy birthday to you!
Sounds as though you had a wonderful day and were given some gorgeous things.

Today is my birthday. Just another thing which is rather similar. : )
I had my first night away with just my husband since our Sofia was born. It was wonderful fun.
