PHOTOS ONLY - Secret Santa 2013 Presents
« on: November 16, 2013, 01:09:52 am »
My present arrived yesterday and I wasn't sure if it was SS or not so She who hesitates is lost they say, so without further ado I opened the box...

It's a beautiful la Cocina platter and matching tea towel. The platter is a very versatile shape and I can see that it will be used many many times on our table.  I'm going to try and get other people to use the tea towel more than me tho  ;)

Thank you SS, you are a sweetie pie  :-*

I'll add mine here as well CP so you don't feel so alone.  I'm sure this is my very much appreciated SS gift, no-one has told me anything different.  Thank you SS, I'd love to know who you are - you have really spoilt me  :-* :-*

I opened one of my presents today. I had a gruelling day at the course I'm undertaking and wanted a pick-me-up.
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, SS - what a lovely treat, from Selfridges, the most gorgeous ornament. It will make up part of my table centre piece and I will treasure it always.  :-*

Oh my!  I have a wonderful and amazingly generous secret Santa!  🎅🎅🎅



I received the Complete Middle Eastern Cookbook by Tess Mallos which has a beautiful fabric cover.  My SS must have done his/her research because middle eastern is my favourite cuisine and this is one of the legendary cookbooks! 😀😀😀

There are 550 odd pages and often 2 recipes to a page - I might be offline a while as I'm going to be absorbed in this book and the huge amount of recipes!

Thank you Secret Santa (I have no idea who it is 😎) you found the perfect present!

Seeing it's the 1st today I decided to open my presents from my not so SS :)
Thank you again I love them all, I received some  cute jar labels, a great looking silicon scraper, some cup cake and cookie stencils, and a yolkR.
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

SS, you are very clever, your work is gorgeous and it was lovely to meet you in Adelaide  ;D.  And yes I certainly will enjoy using my unique potholders and glasses case. Love the colours. The insulated tote is lovely and will get lots of use. Found a spot for that pretty xmas star too. Thank you so much :-* :-* :-*
