A Beautiful Box of Goodies.

 You know I like to keep an eye on the local trading pages on Facebook. I often see great deals and giveaways but miss out because I see them too late.
The other day I got lucky. The lady was giving away a box full of 'Crafting Bits'. When I asked what she said some calico, some hessian and some trims.

Yes please said I.

Look at the lovely box, it's so full the lid won't close.

Under the lid.

There were some pretty broderie trims.

More trims and bias tape.

Look at these pretty roses.

Sadly it's only a small piece.

Next out was two big pieces of calico and another mystery fabric.

A good size piece of polyester batting.

And also some iron on pellon.

Some stabiliser for backing stitchery and embroidery pieces.

And finally in the bottom of the box about 2 meters of hessian!

I hadn't realised there was quite that much. I have a plan for a small amount of it.

More about that when/if we use it for the wedding table dressings.

And just look at the box.

Isn't it beautiful?

Not just on the outside, the inside is pretty too.

The lady told me she had a few Trelise Cooper boxes, they like to use pretty boxes when they mail out your purchases.

All the goodies have been put away and the beautiful box has become a project box.

It's right at home with all of my other lovely boxes.

Yes, I have done some sewing and some crochet, I'll tell you about that another day.

I also have some great recipes to share.
