Sunshine and Surprises

Hello lovelies,
Hope your week is going well. Thank you for all your comments on my recent posts, I really appreciate them.

After the continuous rain of yesterday it was so good to see the sun again today.
We decided to have a trip to a market town I haven't visited for ages.
It has a Lovely market square surrounded old buildings and a stunning church........


So much gorgeous stuff on this stall.........



Today I didn't actually spend any money, I was just happy to browse and window shop in lovely individual shops, not faceless chain stores. Even the slippers looked happy and colourful in this cute little shoe shop.......



And I loved this Nativity in a gorgeous gift shop.........



The sun continued to shine so we came home via the country lanes where I couldn't resist stopping to take more pictures.......



When I got home empty handed ( except for some Halloween stuff for the boys ) I was so happy to find a note to say I had a parcel to collect :0)

I went straight to the post office and collected this.....



My giveaway prize from the lovely Emma at Land of Emma. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw all this gorgeousness. Do you want a closer look ? OK then .
Firstly a lovely card.......



then there was some Rowan pure wool.......


Ooooh , I love this ,it's so soft and such lovely colours .

Next there was Cath Kidson Goodness..........



A mug , a mirror and the cutest little purse , I love it all Thank you.

Can you believe that wasn't all? There was also some gorgeous fabric,so pretty :0)



Then I spotted this !!!.........


Ohhh , handmade something, beautifully wrapped.

Inside were these cute decorations.....


Aren't they the best! I will treasure these Emma.

Here is everything , there was also some ribbons and smellies and knitting needles..

I love it all !!!!!!!!!!
