I absolutely adore getting letters or parcels in the post, very few things beat the thrill of being greeted with something lovely to unwrap when you arrive home, and lucky me I had a real treat yesterday: my Snail and Pigeon parcel arrived, all the way from Finland and sent by the lovely Meri.
The parcel swap introduced me to Meri's blog, The Evil Dressmaker, and I think she's a superb blogger! She is an incredibly talented seamstress, blowing me away with her recent bustle gown, plus she has a great sense of style, not to mention she writes every one of her posts in both Finnish and English! One very cool lady :)
And she also puts together an incredible parcel, I couldn't be happier with what she's sent me!

| My gorgeous set of goodies! |
 |
| A lovely lace insert |
 |
| Sweet floral handkerchief |
 |
| Rose patterned fabric |
 |
| Vintage photos |
 |
| Beautiful floral head band - my favourite :) |
Aren't I a lucky lady? :) I'm sure I will be using the insert and the fabric in one of my projects soon - I quite fancy a pretty rose print vintage style apron!
So let me finish by saying a huge thank you to Meri for being so lovely and sending such a beautiful and thoughtful parcel. You've made me very happy indeed!

What a lovely package! That headband is adorable.
I'm so happy that you like everything. I forgot to mention on my note what everything is. Fabric is new but it was so cute vintage style pattern I just had to get it for you. Handkerchief is vintage and I believe it's never been used. Lace is probably from 80's or 90's but goes lovely for any vintage-style garment. Heandband I made myself and as I mentioned on the note, you can use the butterfly-pin separately aswell :) Btw, don't you just love those dark red lips on that girl in the photo.
What a fab package! I LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! that rose fabric!
Tasha - I know! I'm such a lucky girl!
Rhia - it's all so lovely Meri, I love it! I feel very lucky to have something handmade by you :) and that picture kills me, I love her lipstick and her hair looks just like mine in the morning :)
LandGirl1980 - I'm sure it's going to have to be a pretty country style apron, I've got a 1950s pattern that I'm dying to try out!
great, i love it!
