craft, fabric stash

Happy mail

I’ve mentioned before how much I love our Australia Post contractor.  Always friendly, leaves parcels in secret spots out of the rain if we’re not here, and receiving packages is always a bit like a birthday!  I was lucky this week – I got two packages.

Amitie Blog VIP Mailout April 09 by you.

Lots of cute ribbons and a challenge in Amitie’s VIP Blog mailout, and in the other parcel was this:

Gift from Tamara - Bluebird makes her nest by you.

Lovely Tamara sent me this gorgeous Heather Bailey fat quarter after reading my Sunday Stash post about my planned queen size quilt.  It matches the other fabrics I have perfectly!  As well as including a very pretty postcard, she added some lovely clips from her hair accessories shop Ella and Kate.  They are so pretty, and both Clare and Stella pounced on them as soon as they spotted them!  Stella is very keen to emulate big sister at the moment, so hair clips and hair ties are all the go in our household (not that she leaves them in her hair for very long).  I’ll be back to buy more of those bows at a later date – they are very well made and stay in hair beautifully, even’s Stella’s fine curls.  Thank you thank you Tamara – you are very sweet and we all appreciate your generosity.
