Recently I took part in The God Save the Queen Swap arranged by Lynda of Hookin' With Laalaa. My swap partner was Joanne of Rose & Dahlia, a blog that was new to me.
This was the parcel that I sent to Joanne, decorated with a crocheted brooch and a card.
I had decided to make everything for this swap, with the addition of some choccies.
A tapestry Union Jack key fob/luggage label,
with a crown on the reverse.
Bunting in London fabric.
A red, white and blue lavender sachet, with lavender from my allotment.
A bracelet of glass, blue pearls and a golden crown.
A knitted tea cosy.
This is the parcel that the lovely Joanne sent to me,
with a crocheted brooch and gorgeous card.
Inside were :-
Two tea cloths.
My husband does most of the drying up so I think he will like these! :)
A stamp cross-stitched using tapestry wool, beautifully made.
Bunting, I think this will be great for my son's birthday as well as the Jubilee.
Union Jack cupcakes cases,very useful as I might be known to make one or two cupcakes occasionally ;) .
Several lengths of ribbon
and a tin of shortbread. Yummy!
Thank you Joanne for my gorgeous gifts, I love them all. I thought we had chosen some very similar items - the crocheted brooches, bunting and edibles from M & S.
Thank you also to Lynda for arranging another great swap.

What lovely swaps!! How exciting to receive gorgeous goodies in the post
Wow, you did amazingly well! What lovely items Joanne sent you. It's really funny because I found your blog through a google search of Cath Kidston stuff...but I've been following Joanne's progress with the stamp tapestry on Instagram and Twitter - and didn't realise it was for a swap etc. Funny how we all move in the same circles really!
