Valentines Swap

I was only thinking yesterday "i wonder when my parcel will arrive from my swap partner & where it will come from". Today the dog started barking like mad just as i heard my front gate click. Out i went to see the parcel deliverer diving out the gate quick smart. He left the parcel sitting on the post. Little does he know that all the dog will do is jump allover him & lick him to death. So my Valentines Swap had arrived. Off i came inside to eagerly open to see what lovely goodies had been sent to me.
 The box it arrived in. All the way from Portugal. The lovely goodies were sent to me by Isabel. Thankyou Isabel for the lovely gifts. I love the beautiful hearts you made me.
The first heart.Covered in adorable buttons.
One side of the 2nd heart. All covered in beautiful embroidery.

 The other side.A cute little bird.

 Gorgeous threads, ric rac & buttons.
Mustn't forget the yummy looking chocolate. No i haven't eaten any yet. Even though today was a lot cooler the chocolate was still soft. It's in the fridge waiting for me to sit and relax later so i can enjoy them.

 I was so eager to take a photo of all my gifts i didn't even take the wrapper of this handy date book. Isabel must of figured i love cats. :) Lol.

This is the inside. Such an adorable & useful gift.

 Once again Thankyou Isabel.
