Happy Mail Day

I received a very impatiently awaited parcel on Saturday.  The note with it said Happy Mail Day - and it certainly was!

When Katie was born my lovely friend Justine of Sew Justine Sew asked for our address (which I gave on condition she gives me hers once her baby is born in the new year).  She also very kindly offered to buy me some knit and linen fabric from a shop local to her.

I have been keeping a keen eye one her blog.....and a week or so ago I spotted the most gorgeous pair of little girl trousers and I crossed my fingers hoping they might be for Katie.  And, yay, they were!  And a beautiful bib too.  She is a very lucky little girl.

And I'm a lucky big girl - here's my fabric (4 metres I think - for the grand sum of £18 - I do wish there was a shop like that near here, but perhaps its best there isn't!).

So - Justine - thank you so much.  I loved my parcel and Katie will look so cute in her little trousers and bib in the spring.  What can I say?  A very lovely friend and a very happy mail day.
