I Was A Happy Bunny on Wednesday!

Hallo again my little bloggy friends.  Hope you are all feeling good today on this Friday, as we approach the end of another week. 

The Postman arrived with a little parcel for me on Wednesday - yay! I knew what it was, as my good friend Linda over at flowers on my table had held a giveaway on her Blog.  Her delightful daughter, Lois, picked little old me as one of the winners.

The parcel was beautifully wrapped


Look at the gorgeous little hanging sign that came with it.  I love little signs like this and have quite a few hung around the house.  I love the words -



Here is the actual giveaway that I won -





Voila! A beautiful cosy, handmade by Linda herself.  As you can see, it says "Espresso", and I am using it on my Cafetiere.  This is the back of the cosy -


And, yes, that is a little cupcake up in the top left hand corner!

Thank you so much Linda - I adore my cute little cosy.

Neat-o and I love the little hanging tag. So true.

Now what is a cafeterie? I think I have the concept - a pot warmer, but I have never seen the word.

I think we all need more cupcakes in our life. giggle

That's a cute cosy, Thisisme. I believe that home is any place where you feel safe to take off your mask and be yourself. I hope you enjoy a warm and sunny English weekend. I am delightfully rain soaked here in Florida and enjoying the cooler temperatures that come with it.

That is adorable and I'm so glad you won it. I'm so in awe of the differences in what we call common household items. Always "awesome" hearing from you.

What a pretty package. And the little tag is sweet. Haven't seen a cosy in years. My mom always had one for her teapot. Congratulations on the giveaway.

Hello Thisisme, happy to meet you. I am your latest follower. Lovely cozy you won, lucky lady but I am lucky too cause I won my first blog give a way from Lorena: http://rosechicfriends.blogspot.com/
I was so excited that I cried. Have a wonderful evening.

Belle - hi there. Yes, it was so lovely to actually get something worthwhile in the mail! Hee Hee!!

Becky - it's funny how things can bring back memories, isn't it?! I think that's good that you like to do cross-stitch. My mum used to do it all the time, and I have lots of tapestries that she did, which mean a lot to me.

Becca - thank you my friend!

Susan - yes, I adored the little tag. I love little signs like that.
