Me first!

This is the little bag from mogiebear. She thinks it's regia silk.

And this is the notebook.

And then, inside we have....

Lots of goodies!
a washcloth with a dog on it knitted from 15 year old stashed cotton, a sherbet fountain

Laughing

sewing thread (cotton, my favourite, and lovely colours too)
stitchmarkers in their own wee bag, made by MB herself.
Fridge magnets, fruity teabags and the dinkiest bookmark!

mogiebear, you are the best!
I love all of it, and the bookmark is already tucked inside my current "read".
Thank you so much, you have put so much thought into it and I am just delighted.

Did you miss me????

Well here we have Joy's lovely bag:

and here are the contents:

The seeds were BOGOF in Woolies - so I got two packets (YaY! ) Mixed salad leaves, and sweet peppers. The salad leaves will get put in the conservatory in a pot (to save them from the chickens, and also make them earlier and more "to-hand" when I'm making my sarnis) and sweet peppers are my favourite - so bright and cheerful, and full to bursting of vitamin C !! - I also got a packet of Milky Way magic stars, which I am ashamed to say have been completely demolished whilst waiting for Photobucket to upload my photos!! Embarassed

Thank you Joy, the gifts are perfect, and the little travel notebook is safely tucked away with the bag (hopefully clear of Spot!) waiting to go on further travels!

Eventually manged to get photobucket to co-operate Laughing

Here is my bag from N

the lovely notebook, which I'm wishing I could keep Very Happy

everything was individually wrapped!

here they are opened

So, in there was a set of pastels in semolina to keep them clean, some gorgoeus minty homemade soap, mini eggs and a lollipop, some biscuits for scooby and terri, some tea bags and some book crossing tokens, I'kl definately be looking into this!
And Finally..............................
this!!!

Handmade by N, a japanese origama crane, which she was taught to make by a Hiroshima survivor, 2 years ago in Japan!!! Its sat next to my fairies on my piano, so pride of place indeed!!!
N has detailed all her choices in the notebook, so everyone will get the chance to see why she chose each item. Thanks N, excellent choices Very Happy

Ooohh what lovely bags so far.

Noo I am glad you liked the Magic Stars - my favorites says she who professes not to like chocolate Wink

- and I hope the seeds grow! I'm sorry I had to tell you they were a BOGOF - but I didn't want to risk Natalie jumping at me from a great height if she had thought for one moment I had gone over £2:00 .................... Laughing

Nothing wrong with BOGOF seeds!
I can't wait to see the seedlings ...
As you'll see when you examine the notebook I sent, it was recycled Laughing

I had great fun putting terri's bag together.
The pastels were broken half sticks bought at the College of Art for almost nothing, and they were uniformly sludge green from all the powdery residue... you should have seen my hands after scrabbling through a box of sludge green dusty sticks! But they were bargainicious, and I remember reading somewhere that pastels should be stored in ground rice... semolina was all I has in the cupboard!
