PUMPKIN PATCH SWAP AND SUNSETS...

My parcel from Crafty Helen's Pumpkin Patch swap arrived yesterday, I was partnered with Aija of Crafty Smiles, these are the parcels sat in a little patch on sunlight on the kitchen table...

 

And here they are all opened up.  What goodies Aija sent me; a lovely zippered pouch, a Halloween pot towel and pot holder, buttons, fabric, sweets, chocolate, a vase, wooden pumpkin and bat and a great recipe for cookies...



Thank you for such a great parcel Aija...

Thought I would share the next couple of photos with you that Freya took from the car window last night on the way to be dropped off in Blackpool to walk through the illuminations with Cubs..


This one is the windmill on The Green next to the estuary which is two minute walk from our house...



And this one is the sunset over Granny's Bay which is about a 20 minute walk from our house, round the other side of this bay are a stretch of sand dunes and then you hit the bright lights of Blackpool...

  1. Aija always comes up trumps with her parcels does'nt she.... I have not been to Blackpool in ages although it is round the corner from me but after seeing your photos I may go along this weekend to see the lights. Have a great day.
