I won, I won !!!!

I was over the moon to win a competition last week onLin's blog. I really do love reading her blog as she has the most beautiful photos and she is also such a talented lady ; check out her new shop Some lovely things on there to tempt us :)
So this morning it felt like Christmas had come early when her parcel arrived; look at all she sent !!

So very generous and all beautifully wrapped with lovely little cards. Where to start
Some lovely fibre to play with and I do so love spinning other folks dyed fibre too :)

There were a lovely collection of Etsy goodies of little bags and a cute notebook

A wonderful New Zealand Paua shell diz which I am can't wait to try out and some candles and a stone picked from holiday times spent in Cornwall to burn them on( I love that idea as I am always gathering stones )

A lovely green heart and wooden bowl with the most wonderful piece of origami I have ever seen

A little green frog isn't it gorgeous and what nimble fingers you must have to make that . He really doesn't show up well on the photo but I have tried to give you some idea of his size with my thumb in shot !!


So thank you so very, very much Lin oh Queen of Froggers I bow to your generosity and long may you reign :)

All of this after a really great weekend too, how lucky am I ?

One thing I will say: Lin (Queen of the Froggers) is about the most generous knit-blogger I've come across - not just in terms of things she might graciously send you; but also in terms of how many blogs she gets to comment on - how much time she makes, just to make that encouraging comment.

Long may the Queen reign...
