Dotty Love!

 Have a gander at what Mr Postman brought me this morning!

How gorgeous is THAT?!

Plus, it was a lovely
surprise from the little Pocket Polly herself





When we went camping together earlier in the year,
Em's beady eye noticed my lovely coffee cup.
So when she returned home,
Em went off and bought herself one.
We often have a chat together whilst drinking our morning coffees
in our matching
Laura Ashley
Red Polka Dot Cups.
You would never know that we are
miles and miles away from each other!

What I didn't know is that Em also bought this beautiful jug too.
For little old me!



Popped down inside the jug was
some more scrummy lovelies.
A beautiful little felt house,
some cutie red apple buttons,
some GOLD
and some red gingham and trim!

Is this my hint to get stitching Mrs Shabbyshack?

I absolutely LOVED it,
not just because you have bought me
such beautiful and thoughtful things,
but because I fancy the pants off the Postman
and was able to answer the door in my skimpy nightwear!

I LIE!!!!
ha ha ha
He met me with wild hair, yesterdays make-up on,
my wellies and jumper pulled on over my jim-jams
and covered in dog hairs!!!
Well, that's how I roll these days,
kick the gruesome twosome out at the school gates,
dash to the field for Baz to have a waz,
then back home for my polka dot coffee bread with my
beautiful and gorgeous little friend.

Now I can do all of that whilst looking at my fabby jug too!
Thank you Emma. X 



Love Claire. x

Lucky thing :) Your Holly Hobbie brings back such sweet memories. My sister and I shared a room for years and our room was decorated with them. So sweet~
