More Lovely Post

I just love making little purchases on Etsy and Ebay because it guarantees lovely post which is always nice. I've been doing a bit of spending lately and the parcels have started to arrive. First was this gorgeous little package from Sepia Art Studio. I paid my first visit to this cute blog last week and then on to Delila's very lovely Etsy Shop where I just couldn't resist buying. I would definitely recommend a visit.

Look at these sweet little pegs in a gorgeous little dish. Not sure what I'm going to do with them yet but I'm thinking they'll probably make an appearance on some of my cards.

I also got this very pretty ribbon. I'm loving green at the moment and this is a really wonderful shade. Again, card making I think.

The next blog discovery I made was the sweet Pretty Petals Boutique and again, within minutes I was over to the Shop and buying again! But look at the loveliness I found. A beautiful floral table cloth and four napkins.

I haven't yet decided if these are going to be recycled into something new or used as they are.

I'm now waiting for a package of lovely white linen sheets that I bought on ebay. They're totally plain so will be cut up and used for cushion backs. Hopefully they'll arrive in the next few days. I think the girls on our reception at work must think I'm a bit odd given the strange selection of things that arrive in the post for me. It's easier to get things sent to work rather than having parcels left at home, but teeny tiny pegs and floral table cloths are not really the 'Studio Reed' look. I have to hide my parcels away under the desk for fear my boss might see my gorgeous pretty things and have me thrown from the building! Only joking of course but I really don't think they'd understand the 'Nonnie' look.

More sailing this weekend, this time on our friends boat. I will be taking a ton of sun cream, a very large hat and lots and lots of water. Having done all that it's bound to rain!

Have a lovely weekend and see you all next week. x

I love your finds...especially the cloth and napkins. I think they're beautiful just as they are but I'm sure if you recycle them, they will be gorgeous too!

Hope you are feeling back to normal, sunstroke is no joke. I love it when yummy packages come in the post, especially when they are for me! Love the little pegs in the tin

So much prettiness! I'm so jealous as I've been pinching my pennies lately and there are no lovely packages in my immediate future!

Hope you have a good weekend too...I've had sun stroke many times..not nice!
