A long post with lots of photos - but it's important :-)
My gifts from Linda in the USA who totally spoiled me in the 'Time for Tea' Swap.
This deliciously flavoured 'My China Collection' mini quilt with exquisite embroidery
and the label says...........................................
A steaming teapot that hides a journal - complete with cute yoyo
what sweet little bird is that? some beautiful gift cards
a weeny little pocket book to hold special teabags as well as some india chai spice tea...
Lots of presents and it's all perfect! Colours, flavours, prints.... everything! A big thank you hug to you Linda. I love presents :-)
And even more presents! It's my happy birthday today........... can't remember how young I am.... probably about 28 :-)
Look at that diamond encrusted 'C' for Cute, Cuddly, Cheryl... and a new pair of pistachio flannel jammies. Might have a pyjama day tomorrow
I'll dance and sing to this..... 'here I go again......'
then for dessert, there's this.......................
and some Myer money to spend on .... well .... me :-)
Ok, off to make myself beautiful for a very important lunch date with a very imortant husband and daughter
cya later

OH, I missed your birthday. Happy Birthday late. Your tea swap partner sent you some beautiful things. The yellow bird on the card is called a goldfinch. We have them in North Carolina. They are some of my favorite birds and I love to hear their chirping.
