My letterbox has been a very happy one lately, with the arrival of all sorts of treats from kind readers and friends. 

In the first photo above sits the kids' new pencil case- 'Kitty', which they fell in love with at our local craft market, so I was excited to purchase. I love him, too. He was made by my friend Shelly, who has a stall at the weekly market here and also an etsy shop. She makes truly original and amazing items, and we got to know each other back when I had a little stall there, too. We were market-neighbours. 

The set of cards in the second photo were made by Emily of Millicent Crow. I was lucky enough to win her giveaway a while back for the 'Little Bird' card series. I love them, and am looking forward to sitting down and writing some notes to friends on them, thank you Emily.

And you might have noticed that beautiful yarn up there. It's the softest skein of silk merino lace imaginable, in moody grey and blue colours. Thank you, Jessicah, I'm now anxious to get my knitting needles out…

    What a bunch of lovely treats. Of course the yarn caught my eye first, can’t wait to see what you make with it. But the kittykat might be my favourite. Good choice, kids!

    Kia Ora, I got a lovely foxy purse from Shelley this week two. I love her things. I need to post you a few wee things this week too Melissa. A little parcel. I found some 1930’s fabric and a few other bits and pieces. Hugs. You’re all so clever in Nelson. It made me look at real estate there today. Just imagining being in a crafty place with two creatives like you and Shelley. I adore Atticus Finch creations and Tiny Happy. U girls are tino pai. x
