You know how most days the postman just brings boring bank statements or annoying junkmail? Well, not today! I had not one but four exciting packages arrive this morning!
I have to tell you about this giveaway I won over at Amanda's blog - I'm sure some of you even entered yourselves...but I was the very lucky winner!
Look - a gorgeous book - The Bag Making Bible -which I am looking forward to studying tonight once the children are in bed!
This sweet little brooch made by Amanda
Some fab organic cotton fabric - not sure what to create with this yet, but it will be put to good use at some point!
And did you see the bunny in the top picture? It is so intricate, this is a close-up of my favourite bit - love that harlequin ribbon!
Thank you Amanda for your generous gifts! If you're not familiar with her blog, pop over and say Hi!
So what else can I show you? Ah yes, some lovely ticking from Emma Garry...
so that I can make some more of these...
In another envelope: I'm loving this reversible Danish ribbon from NotOnTheHighStreet.com...
Talking of which, the first NOTHS Christmas catalogue arrived today....
Recognise anything familiar on this page?!
Or what about this one? This is from the November issue of Good Housekeeping! A bit of press for Kirsty Elson Designs! How exciting!
Hope you're having a great week xx

Crikey, Kirsty! You're famous! Well done you! Glad you like your bits and bobs.... Postie went like the clappers didn't he? Lots of love, Amanda xxx
ReplyDeleteOoh you have got me all excited now Kirsty cos I'm in the Noths catalogue too, but I haven't seen it yet!! Here's hoping it brings us both loads of lovely orders x
ReplyDeleteOOh lucky you, all I got was a bank statement today....Boring!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kirsty, I'm also very excited everytime the postman comes. Even if it's hard to catch him (he bangs once at the door and if you're not already waiting behind it, he's gone), when I do get hold of him, he brings me my "treasure bags" as I call them. I will never be too old to feel the excitement of opening a package.
ReplyDeleteLovely giveaways.
Will you still talk to me when you've made an enormous fortune? Well done, your work deserves being more published.
Love, Gertie
Such lovely goodies and I'm loveing the look of the NOTHS christmas catalogue.

Well done on being in the NOTH Christmas catalogue. Your goodies from Amanda look lovely too! :) x
ReplyDeleteEvening.
ReplyDeleteAll I got today was a handful of leaflets and horrible white envelope for BigBean. I'm jealous. And feeling quite sick as I have a swapsie to complete Very Soon and not enough time to think about it...
I love that new header. Can't believe it's a collage, it's sooo beautiful.
Speak soon Missus. Ax
I was very unselfish and happy when I saw you won Amanda's giveaway - It's always exciting when it is one of your bloggy friends. How exciting to be in catalogues and magazines - methinks you are a famous bloggy friend. Love Kate xxooxx.
ReplyDeleteHello Kirsty! First: you have wonderful new Header! Then: How nice you got so lovely posts today! Lovely things - I thought perhaps you coulde make a bag with that white/green fabric by your new book! With lovely materials and magazines we get energy to create!
