Kate's Fabalous Swap Goodies

This morning the postman brought me not 1 but 3 parcels, yippee :0)

The first parcel was from the lovely Kate of The Whittaker's Miniatures  Kate is my July swap partner and she had put a lovely little card in my parcel from herself, Emily and Lola. I managed to contain my excitement just long enough to take a pic of the beautifully parcels :0)

This is what was in my parcel :0)

There are two fabulous book stacks and one is all about mushrooms as Kate knows Gertie loves mushrooms. There is an open mushroom book, a witches cookbook and a wonderful acorn cake stand with the most divine mushroom cup cakes. Thank you Kate, Lola and Emily, I love them all :0)

Here is the mushroom book stack, mushroom open book and the mushroom cupcakes on Gertie's dresser.

 A closer look, so that you can how fab they all are :0)

The other book stack has gone in my Wizards and Wands Bookstore library.

The chair and little clay pipe was in my second parcel. These are handmade by Angela Downton of AMD Crafts. I  have been playing around with different chairs for the library for a while now and I really like this style, so I think I will be buying more! My little dragon cushion fits it perfectly too.

My third and final parcel came from EV Miniatures. I never normally get in quick enough to buy anything from EV Miniatures, but a couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to catch this fab dragon book before it got away. It will eventually go in Gertie's green house, because she has a 'thing' for dragons!!! To be revealed in a future post!!! lol

Theres a storm brewing...

On the home front, the report from my consultant should be at my doctors surgery today, so I should get my biopsy results later, when I pluck up the courage to ring for an appointment! It will be nice to know which IBD I have, but because it will be with me for life, I am hesitant to know because that then makes it real, a bit of denial I think! Tut tut! Anyway, thats life! What do you think of my storm clouds? Dean took this photo in our back garden yesterday, it was the start of a really noisy thunderstorm!

Hope you all have a great day and another huge thank you to everybody who has joined me in my swaps :0)

The next swap is the 1st August, I'd better get making something! If there is anything anybody would like me to make for the August swap, please let me know and don't forget it doesn't have to be witchy based.
