A packet of Breakfast Tea, a beautiful new tea cosy and a beautiful china teacup and saucer.
Why would I receive such a goody pack, because I read other peoples blogs and one I like in particular belongs to 21st Century Housewife who was having a giveaway and I won!!!! I admire this lady immensely as she tries to become greener in her everyday living and I often leave her blog with ideas to try my self! So pop across and take a look.
The tea cosy is really welcome especially when you look at my old one
disgusting isn't it! I can tell you the practically the day I bought this, there had been a display in the window of the Oxfam shop (now closed) in our local town of knitted items, when I asked if I could buy one they said 'yes dear at the end of the week' so 9am on the last day of the week I went in and bought it and that was 20 years ago this December! Cost me £2.50, but I thought it was well worth it, and as you can see its tatty but still does a good job, infact it out lasted the old teapot!!!
The beautiful china cup and saucer is so pretty and delicate but to be honest far too small for a cuppa, one sip and it would be gone, so I have put it on the dresser with all my other lovely little nick naks!
Thank you so much Mrs L your gift is really appreciated!
I though I might have a giveaway, so I am off to have a route round to see what I can find, so watch this space.
Then I thought for a bit of fun I might set myself the challenge of posting everyday of November???? I won't promise that the posts will be long and meaningful, but there will be posts!!!lol!!!

Great prize Libby........and love your nick nacks.......
Can't wait to read your daily posts....should be interesting....
Oh I LOVE those knitted tea cosies, I have an ancient pattern for one and I have made a couple... but must really get busy and make some more.
I made one for a prezzie for someone once and as soon as the parcel was unwrapped he put it on his head!
We are having a good time in Florida , won't be back to my oiwn computer until nearly the end of November so won't be able to leave loads of blog comments, but I shall try to post all about what we are doing in Florida whenever I can.
What a fabulous surprise - and so thoughtful too.
I love that pattern. I was just about to start another (modified) one for our coffee pot....ie taller and a bit narrower!
I love your old one too. I had one that looked similar (in lots of scrap yarn) and a visitor hinted for it and secured it....! The young seem to be going for that sort of design now. Retro I think it is called!!!
