I've noticed over the years that there's a theme that usually runs through my birthday cards, this year it was the presents I received.
My gifts were specifically meant for me, no-one had bought anything for the sake of it, my personality had played a role in their decisions
and thank the lord
not a box of chocolates in sight!
I hadn't realised how many tea towels I owned until Stella decided to iron them.
The biggest surprise was this that Dan commissioned for me.
Made by a very clever man in Melbourne.
OH my lordy!! you lucky thing! this would also be my perfect birthday pile of gifts. The pressie from Dan is AWESOME!!!! how amazingly wonderful, he obviously knows you really well!!!!. (coz really, you think they know you, but do they really really??) xx loving your work xx Kelly (ps, just finished a skirt i think you'd love) will put piccys up on thethriftygarderobe.blogspot
ReplyDeleteokay I just died and went to tea towel heaven...
ReplyDeleteand who did that crochet?
ReplyDeleteIt's incredible.
Kelly - it was noticeable the effort that everyone went to, no-one more than the man I've shared the last 23yrs with. He's improved vastly since the early days when for one B'day he gave me pegs & wooden spoons!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the skirt.
Shula - I do like a tea towel. These were given to me by the daughters however were bought by Dan on a road trip to Albany a few weeks ago, along with the old stitched card sewing box - he really out did himself this year!
ReplyDeleteThe crochet cardys came from a dear friend in Victoria. They were crocheted by hand in the 70's by Chinese people.
