Thank you Australia Post!!

November 29, 2008 By Spoonful of Sugar - 23 Comments

Yesterday we were delighted to come home to two lovely packages on our doorstep!!

Terri from Terri’s Notebook sent us some gorgeous Christmas fabric full of old world charm; a sweet little patchwork bag; some fun mittens to hang on our tree; and other goodies. Terri makes lots of fabulous notebook covers, baskets, bags, and is a pattern reviewer for Sew Mama Sew. If you haven’t already, you should check out her terrific blog.


Hannah from Hannah M Shaw sent us a beautiful teacup topiary tree; some lovely notecards; a cute tape measure; and dress form banner. Hannah is really creative and makes lots of wonderful things as well as being an awesome cook! She sells her handbags and accessories in her etsy shop. Head on over and say hi!!


Thank you so much ladies – we felt very spoilt this week indeed!!

I have also made up some more yummy coconut cupcakes. These ones turned out even better!!

    Wow you are so lucky – such lovely gifts. Your coconut cupcakes look awesome. Have you seen the “cake trees” you can now get from kitchen shops to show off our cakes – yours would look great on that – but bet they woudnt last.

    Oh, now I want fancy tea cups to plant things in. I was telling my husband the other day that I wanted to hang them all over our non-existent solstice tree, but now I need more. Currently I have zero though, and unless I come across a thrift store find that probably won’t change.

    I love coconut in…cup cakes, cookies, pies, cakes….
    It’s so fun coming home to such sweet surprises. The topiary is an elegant touch for a tablescape.

    Sweet Wishes,
    Sara
