That's such a pretty fabric, Frozzie. It would make a lovely centrepiece.

Taking the kids to the Gold Coast for the first time. We have flights, accom and car hire booked, but nothing else. All will be well once I get on that plane :)

That holder is lovely Frozzie, I've seen them used for scones and dinner rolls and they always look lovely. We have a small 1950's tea room near us and they use them to serve scones.

I think Chookie has one of those and she had her lovely scones in it at her lunch

ES I hope you're feeling better soon and able to enjoy your holiday.

Ah that's where I saw one - thanks Katie, your memory is brilliant.  Wonder, you obviously didn't remember where you saw it either so that makes me feel a bit better :D

Get better quickly ES, your holiday sounds wonderful and the kids will absolutely love it.

Absolutely lovely gifts ladies. Gert, open it. Your secret Santa is probably fretting over it this very minute. I am positive that they have only done something they wanted to do. I haven't been bashing anyone up over here.  :) ;) ;) ;)
Your lovely parcel may be filled with coal!

I am so pleased they are all starting to turn up.

MF if you receive another gift you will know that isn't your SS. If you don't then it must be your SS.

Of course you are right cookie. I will open it in the morning. It is beautifully wrapped . Too dark to take a pic now but first thing tomorrow. I am looking forward to it.
