Lovely things, lucky me!

So many lovely gifts for my birthday this year – thought I might flash a few – as well as the Australian Swappers Red swap (Ravelry) package which also arrived on my birthday – such good timing, swap pal!

Lots of lovely red goodies!

My mum embroidered this linen tea towel for me.

My workbuddy Sarah gave me this fab-o RoseRed ring! How cool is this!

Mmmmmm chocolates, silly dvds, yarny goodness, wish tickets (very cool!) and other lovely stuff.

From wonderful Bells – Knit So Fine, more yarny goodness (mmmm chocolate malabrigo sock yarn), tea and other good stuff.

And this fabulous card from Snoozen – look – those are all my shoes! It’s amazing seeing them all together.

So lucky I was this year. Lots of things to be happy about, which is not always easy to remember, but which I’ve been reminded of lately.
