The first came from Jo of Lilly Pilly. Brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things! (you'll be singing that song all day now!) Isn't the Koala a cutie!
Inside, Jo made me this wonderful sewing bag and needle keeper! I decided Mr. Koala would be most happy hanging out on the bag.
Here's the back of the bag. Gorgeous isn't it and all that work! On the bag it says, In my heart there lives a joyful song. The road to a friends house is never too long. Love it! Thanks soooooooo much Jo! I will treasure it always. It's already getting lots of good use!
Next is a pressie I won from Jess at Scrap-in-Happy. Jess had this giveaway on her blog a little while back and I was lucky enough to win! Yippeee!!! Perfect for my iced tea in this hot Summer we're having!
I borrowed these photos from Jess' blog so you could see the beautiful detail.
I must say that I was equally excited over the postcard! One day I will visit Australia and I hope to meet all my wonderful friends and customers there. Group hug for sure!
Thank you so very much my Aussie girlfriends! Once again I have been spoiled! :)

Darling gifts and your deserve to be spoiled, girlfriend!
*squee* I used to have a clip-on koala like that when I was a young'un, only mine was tan-colored for some reason. It was one of my most cherished possessions, and went with me everywhere until it just fell apart from overuse. Ah, memories... :)
Lovely, lovely stuff--lucky you!
I'm so glad they arrived safely, I knew that little koala would protect the package!
Happy Stitching Shell

I'm glad they arrived safely. I forced myself to surrender 2 coathanger paper clips to you, I love them sooo much! Enjoy!
Oh what lovely gifts, I love getting things in the post, especially when they are a surprise. Hugs Linda x
What lovely gifts Shell. Jo's done a lovely job on the bag and needle case. I've got that all drawn up ready to start stitching. It's a lovely pattern. I'll be meeting Jo in person on Friday at a quilt and craft show in Melbourne. I'm looking forward to meeting her and some other bloggers in person!
I felt all patriotic seeing little 'blinky bill' clipped on to your gorgeous bag. Lovely pressies all of them.
What a wonderful gift!!!
Blogging friends are So sweet! Have a nice day! Twyla

Hi Shell,
If you make it down to Australia, it is only a little hop over to NZ too, so hope that you can make it down under one day, dear friend.
All your gifts are so beautiful and from very talented friends. The bag is so sweet.
Hope that you are having a lovely week
Hugs
Carolyn
